Sweet Jesus, I know none of us pays for CanonRumors but as an IT guy, this is down right embarrassing. Major global launch of the most anticipated camera in years and the event feed falls flat on its face, probably due to service overload. I don't know squat about spree...whatever the hell it is but surely these guys had the foresight to host on a service that would stand up to the expected load.

go to sleep and read about it in the morning! It will still be there when I get back, and I save myself the aggravation. . . . .

So boring

First we take down the viewing parties, next, we take down the forums... You know the interest is high when....

 

[gbchriste]

Maybe Canon pulled the covers back and the only thing they were announcing is some piece of kiddy P&S crap, where upon Craig and James about killed each other scrambling to yank cables and power to cut off the feed

 

[ippikiokami]

What were the viewing parties anyways? Was anyone actually at the event?

 

[Jerrad245]

But they said they'd sing A Cappella show tunes.

Live cast cancelled, what a shame. Is there really no other way to watch the event?

No offense guys - we all appreciate the site and all the rumors you bring us, but come on. You can't blame this on screencast. You guys should have stressed the amount of people going on this. I know you guys have something like google analytics, and you saw how many people have been coming to your site in recent days.

Like I said before - we all appreciate what guys do, but don't take on something that you can't handle. Every canonista across the world is now bummed out. There is always tomorrow morning though.
