Seriously, a 1-VHS? Are they expecting Sony to counter with an Alpha-Betamax?

why 18mp ........................................

I would go for 18mp clean pixels over 36mp noisy pixels any day

Okay, I have to say the 1v was a great Canon Film camera from not that long ago!!!! THAT'S NOT NEW NEWS....

 

[Canon 14-24]

2.5 hours to go!

BTW, for those interested in when this announcement will actually be, I could not find any references online to a time but in the past almost all of Canon's major DSLR announcements have come at 04:00 GMT. The only exception was the 1D4 which came at 08:30 GMT - at least according to DPReview.

If my conversion is correct 04:00 GMT is 11:00 PM EST. I highly doubt that anyone would make an announcement at 11:00 Est. Look they may or may not make an announcement. Either way it is not that big of a deal. It is more fun to imagine what would be released than to actually get something! If they don’t announce tomorrow, they will announce something eventually.

Sounds like the right time to me. It will be 0:00 EST so that would be all 7 continents on 10/18/11.

hehe, yeah should have run it through the translator. For just a second there I thought Canon was crazier than Nikon (but still saber than Sigma)

The Malaysian and Singapore announcement time is scheduled at 12 noon (UTC+8).

If it's going to start at 0400 UTC/GMT (ie in another 2:15) as has apparently been tradition, that makes it 1200 Singapore time, 1430 Aussie time (the parts of Aus that matter anyway), 1300 Tokyo Time, 0600 Western Europe (Berlin time), midnight New York, 9pm monday in LA, etc.

Yes, i'm so bored waiting for this that i've been messing around on timeanddate.com.

I'm hanging out for the Super-8D :

(at least i got the joke)

 

[AprilForever]

I cannot wait!!! ;D Wait a minute... I don't know when I'll be able to afford it... :'(

On a serious note, I hope the technology trickles down to the 7D mkII soon... And hopefully a few more megapixels! (Songbirds are never big enough...)

That could be part of their consideration... by 0:00 EST at least part of North America will be on to the 18th. They could wait 3 more hours, 4pm Japan time, so that all of the Continental US is on the 18th but then they wouldn't make the morning papers in New York. Maybe they just like 1pm Japan time when they get back from lunch.

LOL I was just on there as well.

 

[adamfilip]

hmm.. hard to stay optimistic.. that anything will get announced.

Hi everybody,

are you sleeping, guys?!

the new EOS will be called EOS 1D X as already revealed by this press release about the 50-million-EOS-&70-million-EF-milestone (s. 5th passage):

http://www.canon.com/news/2011/oct18e.html

It´s allowed to be excited...

 

[keithfullermusic]

now we need specs for the 1DX

 

[ThatCanonGuy]

What time tonight on the east coast?

 

[mikeeick]

No specs so far...

I´ve just checked several canon pages (japan, singapore,...).

So, we´ll have to wait a little more. But I´m absolutely sure they´ll announce this camera TODAY.
