tick, tock...
I wanna refresh some web pages too. Care to share?

Well, the DigitalRev Twitter page reported that "the team is there right now", but that was six hours ago and they haven't reported back since, which makes me think it must have been something even less exciting that printers. Meanwhile, the only new products on the Canon Japan home page from today are a couple of new calculators, so I guess that must have been it.

I think I'm going to stop posting DigitalREV tweets, they've done this twice previously. Once for a Rebel that already existed, and something else I don't remember.

Fair enough CR Guy, however, you also posted an update that said "Another person with an invite is telling us that the program only mentions, ink, laser, & multifunction printers" so it would seem that we have multiple sources of mis-information.

This is rubbish i need to go full frame but don't want a 5d mk2 cause its dated and i want a body to last me 3 years which would mean it would be a 6 year old product canon get it together

Hey shooter, you've made some bold claims and launched a few insults over the past few days over your confidence a new DSLR would be announced today. How about an apology and an admission you had no facts or inside intel? And I had my hopes up that you were right although it will still be Sept 22nd for a while longer and maybe it will happen tomorrow so you'll only be a day off. ;D

There is this, however: raykophoto.com, via Photo Rumors.

Edit: in other words, there are pro printer events scheduled for today, but they probably cover things already in production and on sale, not new announcements.

trust me don't but a 5DMk2 . the autofocus is no where near usable for the high ISO things people want to do with it. better buying something new that works .

The 5d MK II is known as one of the best at low light autofocus, and mine certainly is. Which Canon camera is better at low light AF? Certainly not 7D, or 1D MK III, I have both.

Re: Canon \

It's amazing that some (certainly not all) people read the rumors posted on this site and take them at face value and then proceed to sell a lens or a camera thinking that they will fund the new whatever on release date. The CR guy is posting based on "best guess" so why would that be enough information to start selling equipment to get a jump on buying "vapor equipment". I don't understand.

If the Sept 22 announcement was truly about a totally new DSLR, don't you think that this information would have been leaked a few days ago. A major DSLR announcement from Canon is a big deal and news worthy. In other words, if nothing had been said about what this announcement was about by the second week in September then guess what...it's not a DSLR, but a calculator.

Take the information provided here with a huge grain of salt and really, I wouldn't be selling lenses or cameras until Canon actually annouces something and even then, maybe start selling whatever 3-6 months after serious testing has been published.

Re: Canon \

People who are privy to major announcements regarding new camera equipment are required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which, if violated has some pretty serious legal ramifications and career limiting consequences. Canon brass would know very quickly who spilt the beans if details of anything were leaked since the need to know people are a small and select group.

<strong>My Fault

</strong>A few days ago <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/09/canon-pro-announcements-on-september-22-2011/">we posted</a> that DigitalREV had put on their Twitter and Facebook pages about being invited to a “pro product launch” event.</p>
<p>I should have updated the post to say we had heard nothing from anyone else in regards to a DSLR announcement. I knew for a fact no other outlet had been invited to any Canon event or press conference.</p>
<p>I apologize, it’s my fault for not updating the post appropriately, I simply forgot.</p>
<p>As mentioned on other sites, “no leaks… no announcements.” That holds true here as well.</p>

Yeah... Well... It still sucks hehe. I need a camera...

Anyway, let's see what's coming November 3, even if I have a feeling it will be about video more than DSLR.

Still, I'll cross my fingers :)

+1 but...if you do want to sell your equipment based on a rumor, please send me a list. :)
