This was a french invite that was translated on one of the threads. It read something like: keep this invite confidential, don't tell anyone, "speed and quality" - event invite March 2nd.

So this could be it guys!

We will see. I do note that Canon's scanning and printing division is obsessed with the pairing "speed and quality" though. ;D >:(

Why would a press event be soooo tight lipped about a printer? There must be something much bigger coming here. We've seen press invites in the past for printers etc. and Canon are happy to publicize them but this time round, something is different.

Maybe there's something surprising to be announced indeed. I'm still a little intrigued by Nokia's new sensor technology in the 808 pureview. I'm interested how a very high-mp 3D (whatever name...) would perform with a pureview-similar technology. So maybe it's gonna be a 5DIII and another camera that is kept very well sealed because of some revolutionary technology?

Re: No press invite yet for March 2nd

With an iPad 3 announcement on March 7 the following Wednesday - hmmm.
Preorder isn't going to need the full amount, 5D3 could be a while - slippery slope thinking!

I'm not sure - but I think one issue I raise is the NDAs
Could Canon actually extend the NDA end date?

I'm trying to find which thread it was on and which page. This is taking some time as some threads have over 40 pages. It was a small post in French that was translated into English.

Found on a french forum http://www.eos-numerique.com (from an unknown source called fpy) :

"INVITATION PERSONNELLE ET CONFIDENTIELLE
NE PAS DIFFUSER, NE PAS TRANSMETTRE
A 9h30 vendredi 2 mars"


Google Translation :

"PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL INVITATION
DO NOT RELEASE, DO NOT SEND

At 9:30 am Friday, March 2"

There's no picture on this post, unlike for the D800 launch:

http://nikonrumors.com/2012/01/30/nikon-press-invitation-for-february-7th-in-thailand.aspx/

So no way of judging veracity.

Even Keith Cooper is now doubting March 2nd, because of the lack of evidence for press invites:

Of course, Canon could simply do a "LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. March 2, 2012 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce..." with no worldwide press events, but...
