I think it's curious that canon hasn't put out a teaser or announcement of any new Cinema Eos bodies yet. I'm trying to remember whether they've ever done a general NAB press release and then separately announced a camera at the show....I guess time will tell.

And there you have it! A press release stating that Canon will be demonstrating HDR (High Dynamic Range) grading in a DI suite! Since none of Canon's current cinema cameras can support HDR (well, maybe C500 in 2K 12bit 4:4:4 mode) one starts to wonder which Cinema cameras Canon will be showing at NAB. i.e. will C300mk2 come in way above Canonrumors' suspected specs, OR will the C500mk2 be shown...? Or something different? If Canon is planning to demonstrate HDR grading with footage from an Arri or Sony camera, I think it's a safe bet to assume Canon wouldn't include that in a pre-NAB press release...

I think you may be reading too much into that statement. Sounds more like they want to show off their year-old 40k DCI compliant reference monitor. Their use of HDR here would seem to be a reference to the latest "trick" -- using various techniques to squeeze extra DR out of existing chips (from any manufacturer). Of it could simply be a case of canon sticking to their guns regarding 12.5 stops of DR. There's certainly nothing in that statement that even remotely indicates a new camera.

It seems odd that if there's a new 4k camera to be announced at this show, that they would offer a "4k frame grab demonstration" using the 3 year old 1dc.

The only Cinema EOS camera to be announced at NAB was the 1DC in 2012, (there was a C500 development announcement, but that doesn't count), and it was announced the friday before NAB. That year...all the press releases for NAB came that day, with a general press release (like this week's) coming after the show was open. At this point, all we have is CR to trust on this. I'm not saying it's not gonna happen, but the wind does seem to be blowing in that direction.
