Re: No press invite yet for March 2nd

Maybe because you're not affiliated with the press people or any insider/PR/etc.
Media assignment notices should've been sent to the editorials by now.

Generally it's not easy for public Joes to know of any media events in advance, unless someone leaks the assignment notice somewhere online.

Polite requests to tech media are usually ignored or denied because those goons think they need to protect certain secrets or whatsoever. (A media assignment notice is generally no secret and that everyone should be entitled to such information in advance.)

Last time I saw a Canon local press event leaked into open domain was years ago from some press forum.

if there was any press invite I am sure that it was have been leaked... We are now 4 days away from announcement (CR3) yet no invite anywhere. CR says that there is going to be something in France and Singapore yet we have not seen any invite to these.

I heard there'll be one in Shanghai also...
No invites to Fr and Sg events probably because somebody has kept those details completely offline. But NDA? Possible but not sure about that.

Have already sent Craig an email regarding any other leaked press assignments on Friday.

Okay, now we are 2.5 days away from announcement and there is still no press invite that we have seen in France and Singapore.

Any news on this? Normally we get a nicely worded invitation for everyone to look at and take the excitement up 10 notches!

well dear friends, just remember the more advancing the announcement, the more incentive Canon has to be tight lipped about it, it's boom or bust this Friday!

Apple keeps stuff ridiculously under wraps, I mean almost nothing used to get leaked. Now you'll see a few random pictures of a supposed screen for a device or something of that nature, but not much more than that. When I worked there, we wouldn't find out something new was coming out until same day. Like when the Macbook Pro redesign was released, we came in and there were sheets of paper highlighting a few features so we'd know what to push (unibody design, glass trackpad, etc.).

We've seen leaked pics of the 5DIII, it's not far away even if it doesn't get released the 2nd. I dont know why everyone is so impatient, are your pictures really suffering that bad right now?

It's nothing to do about changing gears, the fact that it won't be available for purchase at least for a month or so. It's why we CR members gather. This is our passion... don't u find this exciting, with some leaked pics teasing u?

No, pictures aren't bad but people want new technology. Everyone has been waiting around for years now and itching for Canon to do something.

Same reaction with Apple products. People want to know what's coming and want it in their hands ASAP. If you don't have the same passion then why are you even on this site? ::)
