You're all wrong, this is something genuinely exciting.

It's a filter for Canon Rumours that detects DRones and sensor fanatics and pings their posts into a special set of separate but parallel threads. It will be months before they realise that no-one is actually paying any attention to them.

Or maybe this, (man, I hope I'm wrong).........

https://www.facebook.com/iristaofficial/posts/1548877098665553 (two mentions of impossible)

Canon quietly launched irista.com ,a few months ago, to compete with the like of Dropbox,etc. The new box logo may indeed be a clue. Perhaps after a 'soft ' launch, they're ready to take it to the masses.
They may also announce that they 'see it impossible' to give more than 10G of free storage....when some competition offer 2Tb.
Hope I'm wrong!

Actually that was my guess. It surely has to be something like that, or some integration with social media.

My 3 guesses:
1) A new flash system. Looking at the image on the site it looks like multiple flash zones. Logo also looks like a box being busted open to reveal a light.

2) Some new IR or UV capability. See the impossible - converts something we can't see to something we can. (Besides shadow detail even though ETTR applied :()

3) A subscription service for hardware firmware. You buy the hardware and then keep paying to keep it running. Pay up or we shut you down. Seems to be working for others (MS and Adobe) so why not Canon? ;)

1. I agree about your view of the logo. I said something similar. A new flash system isn't in the realm of impossible though.

2. Maybe. However, the New York Times spread suggests mass appeal. UV and IR imaging lacks that.

3. Lacks both the "impossible" aspect since it's been done (making its possibility certain) and the mass appeal. Launching a giant ad campaign that tells people to get ready to effectively get screwed (metaphorically) would be a poor use of marketing funds, and foolish.

"See the invisible" means that we are going to see what we can't see with the naked eye. They'll finally show us a camera with a patented sensor sensible to UV and IR. Portrait photography is going to get great benefit from it! :-X ;)


Oh My Canon Boy....It is a 3D Printer....The foolish continue to IGNORE ALL CLUES!

Some have a good point. That super low light sensor that Canon developed was for a big push into video surveillance. The industrial like logo contributes to the thought that they are planning to make a big splash into industrial, law enforcement, and military surveillance equipment.

It's already been months since most people paid any attention to them.

No, no, it's a special filter that sends all Canon fanboys and sycophants to Nikon forums where some Nikon users are hoping that Nikon updates the D300 to match the 7D2 for reach/action so you guys can note that in Nikon-land people don't get mocked and trashed if they dare mention that Nikon does something less than perfect and you can see how civil Nikon threads remain and you can see that Nikon users aren't hysterically defensive and they don't around saying stuff like "just stick with your D300 moron, you have no possible need for a 7D2 and reach is just a myth and the D300 sensor is more than good enough for you no matter what, learn how to expose and post process freak" or "the small buffer on the D7100 doesn't matter to anyone but geeks who test fps and buffer speed in a lab you Canon troll".

You might be surprised what some people say in PM behind the scenes.

To all those that say the exploding box has to do with a new pixel, it is more likely a metaphor for "thinking outside the box".

And since we are all guessing, I say that since they would not readily trump a new 7D just released, I am going newly designed Rebel that is mirrorless but still uses EF-S lens, EVF, flip out screen, with the dual layer pixel technology. Plus built in social media apps when connected via WiFi.
