Now that's a company that is bad at its own marketing skills..... seriously. If you are going to be so bold as to put a timer on a website, you should be damn well sure that something actually happens when the timer reaches 0.

This is like standing on new years eve at 2400 and realising that your fireworks got wet.

Hi,

Because we don’t see what you see.
AT CANON, WE SEE IMPOSSIBLE.

So to us, it's Impossible to See... No wonder we all cannot see the "whatever" you want us to see... ha ha ha

Have a nice day.

PS: GMT now: 7:23am.

Could it be that the page was just a test run and not really meant to be seen by us now? Maybe it's for a big announcement sometime in the near future (in 1-2 years).

"Times 0:00 "around the world beacuse if Timezones"
Well done Canon. that's the way how to suck! Hire a better Agency next time, that actually know what they´re doing!
Now i can't imagine, that this hidden produkt will be exiting!

If you put a timer and a bold statement on a website, you better make sure something happens when it reaches 0.
This is very disappointing...

I've been taking screenshots of the page with the clock ticking down to use as a practical case of viral marketing to my students. Right at this minute I am not sure if it turned out to be the great example I thought it was!

They are just building up the hype a bit more - like a balloon just before it snaps.

In which time zone are you?

I suppose the timer was meant for one of the USA time zones...

Well... at least we can keep guessing.....

The other thread that was posted with a clip of extreme low light captures was actually uploaded just a month or so before the domain canonseeimpossible.com was registered.

Conincidence? Could be.... I just think they were planning ahead, because they knew they were up to something great.

So which camera would get a sensor like this? All of them? The Cinema line? The D line?

If they are smart, they would use it as a general sensor in all their cameras, that would make it a competitor to Sony and Panasonic.

It was explained several times in the thread, that obviously the timer is not adjusted for different time zones, but just New York

I thought the video was explicitly about about a cine sensor?

The time zone is the problem. BUT: You are all right. If this would have been programmes by an capable advertising company, this problem would not appear. (Or at least an foot note would have been added, that New York local time is meant.)
