Canon Teaser Appears in Korea

Re: Canon Teaser

"... Canon will start from the white world ..."

So rife with politically incorrect double entendre it almost seems like an Onion headline.

That sounds like a very literal translation. I wonder if it means something like "Canon starts from a blank slate".

I'll ask my Korean colleague when he comes back from lunch.

Hey guys. I'm Korean speaker and the correct (literal) translation is like:
"November 2013
A White World will start from Canon."
(and not "Canon will start from the White World"...)

If you have proper codecs installed you'll be able to read the characters below (I don't recommend using Google translator though )
"2013년 11월
캐논으로부터 하얀세상이 시작됩니다."

White SL1 it is then.

Re: Canon Teaser

It's the EOS 750D, with a tiny updated feature vs the 700D! :

Edit: it's a white 700/750 D

Re: Canon Teaser

Now this could be a new EOS-1, but in white

Yes, that's exactly what I thought when I read the machine-translated post - that what they probably mean is that Canon has created a new camera from a "clean sheet" of white paper, as the expression goes in the U.S., as it probably also does in other English-speaking nations. This would be a very nice surprise, if true. If not, it may also mean that (ugh!) Canon has fallen back on that desperate standby - kitchy styling - to bolster their sales and has created a literally all white painted version of the SL1 to sell to young Asian women to go with their Hello Kitty accessories. I guess we'll all know pretty soon, but I don't expect any real breakthroughs here. Just saying.

Re: Canon Teaser

It seems to be the next rebel
It has the rebel profile

Re: Canon Teaser

People are studying what appears to be a CG marketing image way too closely.

Who here thinks they really placed a cloth across the new body and photographed it to make this image? Raise your hands...

About time someone brings up what should have been obvious.

Re: Canon Teaser

If it does not start with a 5, 6, or 7 I will be very disappointed...

Re: Canon Teaser

I do not think a new rebel is worth the teaser.

Unfortunately I admit it looks very much like a rebel

Me too although we can pretty sure it will not start with 5 or 6... yet!

Maybe not in Korea, and a computer translation can be screwed up easily.

So a 500D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 700D, 750D, 70D, or 75D would not disappoint you?

white is the prefered color in korea.
make sense it´s a white rebel for the korean market.

In the most recent event happened by a Korean artist, Jeon Sucheon, the AMTRAK train cross the American continent from New York to Los Angeles in eight days and was covered with white cloth to show that Korean is 'the race with white dress.'

sometimes you can find hints about new cameras when you inspect the code.

I think that is a handkerchief to cry into when we find out that the 7D2 will not be released until 2015

 

[Lichtgestalt]

maybe a winter olympics edition?
because pyeongchang lost the 2014 olympics but won 2018....

doesn´t look like a 7D MK2... and i don´t think this is about the 7D MK2.
but imagine a white 7D MK2 for the 2014 winter olympics. ;D
that would make some guys happy i guess.

Let's see if I understand this: (1) Canon DPP includes support for an "M2", but not for a new Rebel; (2) supposedly credible rumors said that there are going to be no new DSLRs introduced for the rest of 2013; (3) it is about 3 weeks until the end of November and 7 weeks until Christmas; (4) this newly-rumored camera looks a lot like a Rebel or SL1.

OK, I admit it, I'm confused. Wishful thinking tells me this is the new M2 which looks a lot like an SL1. And, oh yes, Canon is introducing their answer to the Metabones Speed Booster, except that it is 1-1/3 stops, not 1 stop.

A new Rebel?... come on Canon... please -.-

I do not want to disappoint you but Canon did something strange at least as the USA site.
They claim to have newer updates but the release numbers correspond to older versions!

I do have these releases (DPP, EOS Utility, Digital Solution disk) since September.
Now why they have done this eludes me...
