It reads a lot like the famous Steve Jobs quote. I wonder if they're trying to copy something Apple has done.

Or an price increase?

LOL, an impossibly high price increase! That will get a lot of people REALLY pissed, especially if advertised in this manner... ROFL!

But seriously, this could be a message from Canon USA to Canon Inc.

I'll let the "cat out of the bag" since the announcement is almost here.

It's a joint venture announcement with Sony for a new Pro Level high MP camera using Sony's sensor tech

that's what I've been told by the voice in my head!

 

[Diltiazem]

Multi-layer stacked sensor with extremely low noise.

 

[greenapol]

I think canon will post a picture of a Nikon D750 with a caption "Yes, it can be done!" LOL ;D

ahhh damn it, i was sure they where going to announce the 5d4 was going to use Sony's sensor.

"See Impossible" - The whole thing sounds strange, like it was translated by an amateur.
My guess is either a new sniper rifle scope or some travel adventure packages.

perhaps it is a breakthrough on sub-pixel imaging....

 

[AUGS]

As this is predominantly a camera site (CR), my heart is saying this could be:
- a new high megapixel camera with sensor bells and whistles (seeing detail previously thought impossible)
- a new macro lens (with tilt-shift?) (seeing detail previously thought impossible)
- a new camera with a true live EVF....
These have previously been rumored, but are too specialized for the advertising space and method used to my thinking anyway.

If you do a Google search for "see impossible" you get a list of pages about color. So it could be a new printer with an extended color gamut. Metallic inks?

But my head is saying this is something for the masses. It makes sense if this announcement is to combat the loss of compact camera sales to smartphones. The wording of the ad (Apple-like), the full page ad in the NYT, makes it seem like this will be a "smart-camera" feature - "Share" your photos directly from your camera?? It would remove one of the roadblocks that make people use their phone instead of their camera - straight to Facebook. That's why this post resonates with me.

If it was a full spread in New York Times, I would expect it to be a product for the masses. (Just my hunch). Definitely not a high MP pro body, because that is a limited market and the people who would buy it will be all over the news without need of an expensive ad like this.
My fear is it is some kind of camera phone gimmick or perhaps mirrorless or perhaps large sensor compact. Or as someone else has said it may not even be camera related at all.

I sincerely hope its the former, but feel it will be one of the latter.

[DominoDude]

I haven't seen anything similar on our continent, and since it is seems to be a "local" (US of A. only) ad, my hopes have already died that it is any way about a camera announcement. It wouldn't make sense to just place it there and directly after Photokina.

At best it is a 3d printer that will make it possible for us to print out a 1Ds Mk IV/5D Mk IV/3D, or whatever the dreams might be, in a magnesium alloy. The printed body will come equipped with a tight compartment in which to squeeze a squirrel with paper and pen. The squirrel should have night vision goggles so it can see a high level of detail in those ultra-dark shadows we need to capture.

Hi,
Must be related to "Impossible", so
1) Canon take over of Nikon and Sony imaging divisions.
2) Canon new X-Ray DSLR (see through all your subject).
3) New sensor upgrade service for 7D2, 5D3, 6D and 1Dx.
4) New pixel-less FF DSLR with 8K Video (User selectable 12MP to 120MP).
5) New modular DSLR with entry, semi-pro and pro class body (user selectable AF module, sensor module, processing module, power module).
6) World first Nuclear powered grip... no more battery.
7) World first DSLR and lens with waterproof sensor and electronics (No more underwater case for your DSLR and you can change lens underwater).
8 ) A 36MP, 15fps, 65 all double cross point, eye control AF, 300-600mm F2.8-4L USM with selectable 1.4x and 2x TC built-in FF birder camera.

Ha ha ha ha... ;D ;D ;D

Have a nice day.

I can see the impossible....

 

[Diltiazem]

19 hours to go.
It feels soooooooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooooong.

 

[ScottyP]

It's an across the board 30% cut in equipment prices.

If it is not going to be the 5Dmark3 successor, then they really just shot themselves into their own Foot here now.
And that with a Sawed-off ShotGun,....

The absolute only technically and at the same time also commercially successful product they really manufactured and which blew everyone away for hundred of thousands of customers who ended up buying it , was the mark3.

To now create this fuzz and not come up with a long awaited successor would be an advertising suicide and a public relations nightmare on a global scale.

Ha!...i cant wait to see...
