We're running a way a bit here. Couldn't the DSLR picture just be of the 1D X with a purple 'C' badge on it, to show that you can use the new cinema EF lenses on a regular EOS stills camera?
I was thinking the same thing a bit ago. Also, is there any significance to the RED color, indicating that this camera aspires to compete with RED equipment? Or is it just an additional notification of a professional body/lens combo?

Or the RED color could be because Canon's corporate color is RED.

No they are T/1.5 and T/1.3. T Stops and F Stops are different. I cant remember the exact difference, but I know that T stops let in more light, but T/1.3 is superior to f/1.2 for sure.

F-stops are a mathematical calculation. T-stop stands for transmission stop, the actual amount of light that comes through the lens.

Very few replies here for an 'historic' Canon announcement!
Well, 16,000 bucks is a little bit out of my budghet...
Wait and see what the other camera costs.....

I'm more interested in the label on that second camera and am still hoping for a 5D3...

5D3 is not getting announced, this is a video only event. The 5D3 is a photography camera... not a camera entended for Hollywood.

Probanly... But the 5D2 was THE video DSLR... I wouldn't wonder if they palce the MkIII as a kind of bridge between video and photo market...

You're probably right that it won't be a "5D3" but there could be a video optimized pro-level DSLR form factor camera announced.

Not that there is any rule that says Canon can't announce anything they want and could certainly add "one more thing" if they wanted to.

I agree that the 5D3 could be the bridge but I just don't see them announcing it today along side with it. They'll save it for the photographer event (Photokina).

Well... But they HAVE to say something about this "phantom" camera on the picture... Canon wouldn't be so stupid to publish such a photo without knowing exactly what they are doing... The phantom camera ist definitley PLACED there and not just "be" there by mistake.

Not sure about "stupid" but wow what a huge teaser if they don't even mention it! Rumor boards will be abuzz until they address that second camera in the photos.

Maybe that's what they want... if anything they'll just tease about it at the end.
