If you don't like how you're being treated, then give their silly video a thumbs down and post a comment. Canon might not pay much attention to forums like this but if their precious video has lots of negative feedback then just maybe they'll get the message.
Stop treating us like idiots, hmmkay?

With all respect, but this was the dumbest, silliest, least conceived action I have seen from Canon!
They see everybody complaining about missing DR, high MP or Mirrorless, they build up quite a lot of tension (look at this thread, 20 pages of speculations), everyone does expect a revolutionary product even more, but instead of bringing on a development announcement of the mythical 3D or the M3, what do they do?
A microsite, showing videos of customers using Canon gear...
Everyone that was not happy with the Canon lineup before is even unhappier now, bravo da capo, bravo da capo, Canon! :-X

As for the complaining...people with issues should complain where it matters... Hint: that's not here. :
EDIT: Well, that assumes they want the possibility of action being taken on their complaint...some people just like to bitch and moan, it's a free Internet so I suppose here's as good a place as any if you just want to whine. That's pretty sad, though...

I can't say I'm surprised at all. Canon has done this before by building something up that turned out to be nothing really.
Anyways, while not surprised, I'm still disappointed. I keep hoping they will finally take their top part out of the back of their middle part but it looks like it will be a while longer.

Are you certain, that Canon really looks through all the threads on CanonRumors? That's rather delusional to think I'm afraid. Why would they? Does any camera making company Scroll through unimaginable number of posts on their respective rumor sites? I don't think they do...

Neuro, you misunderstood my post
I have never been a DRone and I don't feel the lack of high MP or mirrorless, simply because I have a camera I love and have no intent to buy a successor unless I win the lottery. I just stated that for those, who have been complaining (you know where
), it doesn't matter if Canon doesn't do development announcements normally. That teaser simply built up too much expectations in their frustrated minds and when it appeared to be nothing, the volcano exploded, dramatically speaking.

No, they surely don't, but they might have a look every now and then and as DR seems to be in every thread but the galleries, they surely heard the bottom line, not only here, but also in Youtube and everywhere else where people complain about Canon. It is obviously a worldwide thing right now and I don't think they are dumb, although their last step leaded to an adverse conclusion

I think I got your point. It doesn't matter what the complaint is, posting it here is useless as far as effecting change. Call Canon, or post on their own forum. My 1D X came with an AFMA bug – I called Canon (as did others), new firmware came out, problem solved.
As for people building up their expectations, to paraphrase what Obi-Wan said...The Force (of advertising) can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

If I had more time, I would register this and have some fun.

Been with Canon for several years and I love my twin 5D3s, plus L glass is hard to beat, but right now they are taking the p***, and I don't feel great about the future. Take some risks damn it!

But the weak-minded are the (relative) masses and they influence or should influence what Canon does
And I don't see any reason not to post that here, as others complain here too, much heavier than I do.

Im going to be different to the moaners:-
What I see is a micro-site that brings together creatives using Canon equipment in imaginative and varied ways a way of creating a community of users. Canon are trying new ideas and in doing so are not always being "safe" but taking risks be they little (White DSLRs) or big (Irista). Photography is changing mobiles & digital have turned photography on its head and companies must adapt to survive if we dont believe that then were the dinosaurs. Adapting is not simply more MP or new versions of lenses designed for digital its understanding the consumption and use of photographs has changed as has videos with the internet. Twenty years ago I took maybe 36-72 photographs a month, now I do on average 10 a day and Im not a pro. Some of those simply rest on my PC whilst others go on Flickr or go into competitions at my camera club. Many get shown on my iPad and more people see them than when I had prints this is some of the way things have changed.

I think Canon is more concerned with influencing them than the other way around – that's the point of advertising!
You're right, there's no reason not to post here...

I can't say I'm not disappointed.
It's a nice way of showing people how canon can help with creativity but I was expecting more...
At least one revolutionary product to be introduced...

I must say I was expecting something totally different than Irista 2.0. I was expecting a gear announcement. What I am confused about: what is so impossible? Youtube shows videos... If Canon became amazed because they can have people share videos like youtube...
I was expecting the high res thingie, though I am not interested in it. Twas merely for the shiny! I await more eos-m mount stuff. 85 2.0?

Connect the dots... this is from Canon USA. Canon USA does not develop product (AFAIK) and can only sell what Japan ships. The AdWeek story admits Canon USA has lost share on several fronts, so this is an attempt to sell more stuff that the market is indicating some sophisticated users may no longer want. So, they go for the uninformed masses and try to pick up a few more sales. Makes sense from Canon USA view.
However, Strategic Product Planning 101 simply states: "Obsolete thyself... or others will do it for you!" That said, everyone involved in R&D knows there is no way to "schedule" innovation. I'm fairly sure Canon USA would have sent a strong message to the home office guys long before resorting to a campaign like this (which seems to have been in the works for over a year?). Trouble is home office may not listen to US voices or may just be slow to react or too proud to acknowledge they don't have the answers.
