Rereading DPR's recent review at Photokina with Masaya Maeda - Managing Director and Chief Executive, Image Communication Products Operations at Canon

Here is what he said:

"
Currently no Canon camera offers more than 22MP. Do your DSLR customers ask for higher resolution? Yes. We know that many of our customers need more resolution and this is under consideration. In the very near future you can expect us to show something in terms of mirrorless and also a higher resolution sensor."

Is it possible that "The Very Near Future" is here tomorrow?? I'm not convinced, I'll wait and see in 13 hours.

I thought the rather grandiose title sounded vaguely familiar and it was perhaps related to a recent Canon ad I'd seen online, but I was wrong; the ad was "To the Ends of the Earth," but still a cool watch if you haven't seen it yet:

To the Ends of the Earth Ad

This is a website that talks about seeing impossible colors because a few people have an extra cone to receive light in the eyes.

I believe Canon has managed to create a chip that will both increase dynamic range and color rendition.

We will know at 9 oclock cet...

Based on what I've seen on this thread I'd guess no. One of the more widely "agreed" upon things is that this is going out to consumers due to the nature of the ad. So we'll see, that looks like it's not general enough. But that sure is cool!

For everyone who says the countdown timer is showing up wrong, is the time zone on your device set wrong? This page uses a client side script based on UTC - if your clock is correct but the time zone is wrong, UTC must be set incorrectly.

Could it have something to do with this?

Came across this

Could this be the new announcement? A new sensor that will entice the 1dX/5DIII guys to hold on?

TIME 00:00:00 ???????????????

Look two comments above yours mate

 

[leGreve]

Yes.....this will be it. I remember seeing that announcement last year or so.

Imagine a 5D with that sensitivity and raw capable..... Who needs film lights :-D
I mean, a camera like that would enable all indie film makers to light like Deakins.

I think they have to make announce something that can actually compete with the Sony products, otherwise they will have lost the race completely in a couple of generations of cameras.

Actually, the script doesn't use UTC, therein lies the problem. It only calculates the time difference between 07 Oct 2014, 9:00am and your local computer time. There is no UTC component.
The expectation is that it is New York time, so another 7 hours.

Can someone please calculate at what time will the timer go off according to EST time, so we can adjust

Edit: OK, AUGS answered while I was writing, thanks

[bertrandG]

It is stuck at 00:00:00 ... that's disappointing!

EDIT: All right the script is timezone specific according to previous comments, meaning it won't display the right coutdown for the ones of us in Europe.

 

[Bärtreuer]

I can't see anything yet, too

Now we just need to wait for Japan to start working so they can flip the switch on the webserver... in 16 hours.
