Making an announcement is one thing, but how many times in the past 12 months have Canon failed to deliver product within an even remotely reasonable time? The 500 & 600mm must be comming up for their anniversary soon, and now the 1Dx has been postponed to a TBA date.
What is the use of an announcement of a new camera that won't make it into the shops for months?

NDA = Non-disclosure Agreement. Technology under development in many industries is frequently given out to industry insiders and notable personalities to test, comment on, break, etc, and provide feedback to the manufacturer to refine the product. People who are given this inside look are required to sign an NDA stating they will not reveal anything about the product - even the existence of such product - to anyone not approved and authorized by the manufacturer.

Surely it would have been quicker to type NDA into Google than to post here? Youd have got an answer much quicker.
In this context the NDA in a Non Disclosure Agreement that people who have seen/used/know about the camera have to sign to say they wont go telling everyone what they know. I dont know what sort of penalties you agree to if you do blab, perhaps they flog you in public?
Of course it would have been quicker for me to just respond with "Google it" but I guess I have keyboard diarrea this morning...

I dont think traffic will go down for quite a while after the announcement.
It will just change content... instead of when and what specs it will become "whats the iq like at iso x" "when will I actually get my 5d3" "Is it really worth upgrading from 5d2" "Is the 5d3 worth the extra $x compared to the 5d2"... the list is endless...
Hopefully when people actually get 5d3's in their hands the tone on here will change too... hopefully there will be more happy, happy posts about how wonderful the iq is on their new 5d3 etc. But maybe not... people who gossip tend to prefer to bitch than to share in the joy

This site will likely explode once the announcements come out... people praising the camera and creaming their pants and other people flaming the gear because it doesn't meet their needs... It is human nature to think random people on the intrawebs actually care what they think.

To be honest i dont get the idea of canon rumors site. It works like any other photo hobby site, no important rumors at all. We will see a specification at a day of announcement. What is the site for? I can do a rumors every day sayin that a next camera will have this and that. When there was a rumors about d800 it was pretty same as announcement spec but long before official Nikon release.
So according to known rumors we will get almost same camera as 5d2 but with normally working AF system. Am I missing something? Sry, but I am one of small group of Canon owners which don't like the their 5d2. So I am waiting, waiting, waiting to buy something which will not annoy me ( I am little bit used to my old D300).

Actually, the Boxster took away alot of the hype from the 911. But in regards to the camera, I think all the specs could be right on except the focusing system. I expect either the system from the 1D mark IV or a smaller 19 point system.RedEye said:

For what it's worth, and based on no inside knowledge whatsover, just my experience in sales, my money is on two DSLRs being announced next week. First up, the 650D. The 25th anniversary of the EOS 650 launch is just too good a marketing opportunity to pass up. Then we get into more interesting territory. At a guess, I'd say the 5DX will be announced next week, probably at 22MP. And then in time for Photokina in the Autumn (or fall if you prefer) a 3DX at 45MP. Or just possibly vice versa.
My concern though is not much leakage yet, which seems odd.
The waiting is driving me nuts ... just like the rest of you.

This sums up my current line of thinking as well. At first I was thinking it would be impossible as they would need to differentiate the 5D and 1D series more, and I still think they will have differentiators in there. But the more I thought about it, Canon probably makes far more from the 5D line and, if they have the same AF, Canon also benefits from reduced production costs. Could be a very smart business move. But it also has me thinking the 5D III/X will be ~$3,500.

It's all about the journey, not the destination. When the 5D came out everyone thought it was the holy grail but not soon after they were wishing for the 5D2 and the beat goes on.bdeutsch said:This is very bad news. What's going to happen to CR if the 5dmiii is announced? 75% of the board's traffic is going to drop off.
I think CR has established itself as a credible source for rumours and it is evident to me that Craig (CR Guy) is 100% committed to this endeavour and it shows in the quality of his posts. My CR3 prediction is this site will continue to grow and flourish!

Eh, Canon rumors gets ti right a few days before release.
Although, yeah, I think you are right. There is quite a bit more useless information/discussion here than useful. I think the best part of this site is the technical discussion of current products and the image galleries.

I'd suspect it will not get the same AF system...it could still be 61 points with fewer cross-type points...say just the 21 center ones. I expect something along the lines of a 61/21 AF system, rather than the full 61/41 AF of the 1D X. I'd still be plenty happy with that for sure, as I can't imagine Canon would cut into 1D X sales like that.
