I SUCCESSFULY predicted the Canon EOS C700 cinema camera ITSELF since I was the one who discovered the original "C700x brochure" photos on the "Northlight Images UK" website
You read something on another Canon-related rumors website and posted it here, and that constitutes a 'successful prediction'?
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
===
The "C700x Brochure" was something found quite by accident and the Northlight Images UK website was perplexed and didn't KNOW what to make of it and after reading through the document, I was quite sure it was the REAL THING from a technical point of view and I then extrapolated some KEY features (i.e. sensor size and type) which I then disclosed on various forums in North America which YES INDEED it DOES mean a successful prediction since:
a) I let North America and probably a wider Europe know about it.
b) I extrapolated based upon technical specifications I found in teh document itself that IN FACT it would eventually be a DCI 4K GLOBAL SHUTTER sensor. And when Canon DID announce the C700 camera itself...lo and behold it had a 4K DCI sensor with GLOBAL SHUTTER! I even predicted it would come with an INTERCHANGEABLE PL and EF mount.
Northlight Images UK is NOT REALLY a rumours site! I personally think the sysop (System Operator) really did not quite know how to interpret or do anything with the information that was posted on his site.
ME! Having some quite long history with Cinema Camera systems DEFINITELY HAVE THE BACKGROUND to interpret and evaluate the technical data mentioned in the specifications portion of the "brochure". I then found information that would be of interest to the general Canon Rumours community and then decided to espouse some personal opinions and extrapolate some technical specifications which were LATER FOUND TO BE CORRECT !!!
Ergo...I have some SUCCESSFUL PREDICTIONS !!!
---
AS OF NOW! The rumour mill IS HOT AS MOLTEN LAVA !!!!
My multiple European engineering sources all seem to have THE SAME STORIES!
a) A Canon high burst rate (25 fps) Medium Format JPEG-2000 50 megapixel very large sensor stills camera is on the way to be announced around February 2019!
b) A Canon Android Smartphone with LARGE APS-C sensor with INTERCHANGEABLE LENS and a smaller Android smartphone with a 2/3rds inch or APS-C sensor and fixed lens is on the way! No HARD timeline for that though but estimated at late 2019!
c) Apple is taking a HARD LOOK at Canon for an outright purchase! Maybe even within the next 90 to 180 days!
d) Apple wants to take CPU/GPU/RAM/Sensor production FULLY IN-HOUSE and may want to operate their own Cable TV and 4G/5G cell phone system for Apple Hardware ONLY and create/sell 3D printing systems for their upcoming workstation-class products! MarkForged, GatesAir, Global Foundries and Canon SEEM to be the corporate takeover targets for Apple to fulfill those goals!
THOSE ARE MY PREDICTIONS !!!!!
Am I Right? We Shall See...........
REMEMBER !!! --- YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!
