i guess, they want to apologise for the lame 7d mk2 sensor-technology...
for me - personally - that would be a "revolutionary" improvement. well, kind of...

Some great & funny responses so far.
My take if those were the words I chose for a camera teaser.
A few things come to mind if this is about cameras-
Read the "Canon sees impossible".
1. If it's a low light low noise sensor, picture a scene in a very dark room with the word "Impossible" printed in black. The low light performance would be able to read the word "Impossible" despite being buried in the dark shadows in a dark room.(wishful thinking)
2. A super high resolution imager that can resolve the word "Impossible" from an impossible distance away.(going to need a mighty fine lens)
3. Some type of in-camera software that processes the image using a new method that results in a huge leap in performance.(possible)
Normally, you would say "Canon can't see it being impossible" when it comes to engineering breakthroughs. I am taking the words literally as meaning Canon can see the word Impossible.
When it comes to #3, I have thought about this for a while. Most of the problem is space and power requirements. If you had something like a battery grip, the electronics would fit. The data connection would be an optical port between the body & "grip". There is actually some empty space in present grips. Higher tech batteries that are smaller would improve on the space & power required.
Going one step further to improve signal to noise ratios is to cool the sensor. Astro guys know this. The technology to do this exists but it's a space thing.(no pun intended)
- so that's my 2 cents worth.

I know a lot of you are having a good time playing off this in order to express frustration at Canon, but for the few of you who hold out hope for some wonderful new camera, or even lenses, I will add my caution and best guess about the "reveal." This is almost certainly NOT about enthusiast or pro cameras or lenses. Maybe, just maybe, this might relate to some technology that might eventually apply to such picture takers, but, even more likely, as suggested by some others, this will have more to do with some other type of Canon non-camera hardware, or even some non-hardware subject, such as social initiatives, web/cloud related offerings, or something in some new sector in which Canon has not before been active. Whatever it may turn out to be, don't invest hope for that Moby Dick of a high MP DSLR; it will eventually happen, but I doubt very much that this timed event has anything to do with it. If I'm wrong, you can give me forum-grief galore, and I'll be a lousy prognosticator but happy nonetheless.

lets see tomorrow eh? I just hope the anticlimax is not soooo bad... this is a rather tantalising proposition!

"AT CANON, WE SEE IMPOSSIBLE"
It means that Canon sees its impossible so give us what we want.

40MP,8fps,5D3-sized,7D2 AF,4k/1080p high quality not blurry 10bit 4:2:2,sensor captures more photons than exist in a scene so it delivers ISO512,000 that looks like ISO100 today, has less than 0 read noise and 24bit read outs for 27bit 'per pixel' DR, as well as a few ground-breaking new features.

This sounds a lot like the "think different" campaign from Apple a few years back.
I just hope they deliver and blow our minds with a camera that can SEE what the human eye can.
DR is the future, not MP.
I also want to see the impossible.

"Canon see impossible"
I believe this can mean only one thing … the long awaited Möbius - Escher camera has been perfected.

It won't be tomorrow, its US time, Tuesday at 9AM Eastern Time (Canon issues press releases from their headquarters in New York State).
The thing is, for major announcements, its almost always leaked about a week in advance. On the other hand, Canon does not take out large advertising spreads to announce printers or calculators, It should be something of interest to consumers.
About the wording --- It is either a puzzle, or Canon hired a advertising agency that farms out jobs to writers in a country whose native language is not English. I'd bet that its a puzzle.
