Canon "Pro" Announcements on September 22, 2011

[bornshooter]

digitalrev have been invited to a canon pro launch on the 22nd of sept they have just stated on twitter the dslrs are coming

 

[Tarrum]

Perhaps they'll announce a mirrorless camera one day after Nikon

It sounds great, but I think we should wait for a little bit more info. Thanks for posting!

 

[surfing_geek]

certainly sounds like it may be a pro dslr, given the november hollywood announcement! fingers crossed it's something exciting

<p><strong>Invites are out

</strong>DigitalREV has stated on their <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=digitalrev">Twitter</a> & Facebook that they have been invited to a  ”pro product launch”.</p>
<p>What could it be?</p>
<p>Everything from printers to DSLRs, for the moment it’s unknown. I’m asking other folks that wouldn’t be invited to a printer event, if they’ve been invited to something next Thursday.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE 1*

</strong>Another person with an invite is telling us that the program only mentions, ink, laser, & multifunction printers.</p>
<p>I’d expect to see new Pixma 9000 and 9500 printers. Perhaps a larger Pixma added to the lineup as well.</p>
<p><em>thanks Rob</em></p>

Professional Top of the Line Printers and a new line of inks! ;D

Hopefully, the wait will be over.

Re: Canon \

not that it really matters as long as we get a pro level DSLR but it would seem an odd move to introduce Digic 5 with Powershots and then a week later introduce a pro DSLR. switch things round a week and the 1Ds mkIV or the 5D mkIII is heralding in Digic 5 instead of Powershots.

Re: Canon \

an official 200-400mm lens, please fingers crossed :

I think we all over-think all of these things. Including me.

Waiting 6 days seems like way too long. What do you think?

 

[bornshooter]

Re: Canon \

either way digic 5 is now here so thats that and i don't think digital rev has been invited to a printer release it will be a 1 series or 5 thats all folks

Re: Canon \

For a pro DSLR event, Canon usually gives more lead time, there is lots of Pro equipment that could be announnced, but a printer seems likely.

I hope its a Pro DSLR though.

Re: Canon \

1Ds Mark IV and a 24-70 Mk II I say

Re: Canon \


FINALLY! That hot new ink I've been lusting after!!

Professional Top of the Line Printers and a new line of inks! ;D

Re: Canon

Nikonrumors say there's an announcement by Nikon in a number of Countries on the 21st, so it does sound as though a Pro announcement is in the making.... I can't see Canon launching printers to take the attention away from Nikon but hey, who knows ;D

 

[wockawocka]

Re: Canon \

You know, that's really short notice for an announcement but also kinda screws Nikon a bit.

If they say, announce the 1DS4 in 6 days the mirrorless attention for Nikon will disappear and even if Nikon announce something after the 1DS4 then The November announcement will screw them too.

With the Olympics literally months away it's a very brave game of brinksmanship.

Didn't we just do that thing a few years back?

Let's just hope it's something good.

Re: Canon \

I hope it is 5D Mark III, but I don't think it is.

Re: Canon \

*yawn* The probability of Canon launching the 1Ds4 next week is about as likely as the US reducing the national debt.

And what is your basis for that statement?

Re: Canon \

2008, April - Canon 450D
2009, March - Canon 500D
2010, Feb - Canon 550D
2011, Feb - Canon 600D

If we assume that the Canon 650D gets DIGIC V, we can assume that we'll get a pro-release prior to this - they wouldn't want a prosumer level camera get the limelight of the new *processor*, so you could assume there will be a pro-level camera debuting the *processor* before this.

Good point about Olympics too - you'd presume Canon would have at least one firmware release under their belt and have ironed out any problems prior to it starting if new models out?

Edit - processor not sensor. Wrong word, thanks for the catch Sinsear

Re: Canon \

Digic V is a processor, not a sensor.
