I received word that Canon Singapore will be holding a press event on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 for an “important global announcement”. There was no mention of what the announcement would be for, which is normal.</p>
<p>As you can see in the image above (and below), there is a picture of an EOS-1 on the front page of the print edition of <a href="http://www.todayonline.com/Printedition">Today newspaper</a> in Singapore. Interesting to see, considering there is no model showing, as well as the very limited quantities of the 1D Mark IV for sale and none of the 1Ds Mark III.</p>
<p><strong>Could be nothing…..</strong></p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE* CRs Take

</strong>I will note there is an event in The Netherlands on October 18, 2011 as well. PDN in New York City is the following week, October 27-29, 2011. There’s a general feeling something is coming, and probably beyond a printer.</p>
<p>However, I have yet to receive any solid and articulate information about a new EOS product. There’s a lot of fragmented information floating around.</p>
<p>The EOS-1 in the image is a 1Ds as people have pointed out, however it seems like a very odd time to do 4 full page ads in a newspaper. However, as I mentioned earlier, it could mean nothing.</p>
<p>With the big announcement on November 3, 2011, is it too much to ask for another major camera announcement within a few weeks of the Hollywood date?</p>
<p>I have not [CR3]‘d anything in regards to next week.</p>
<p><em>thanks Quek</em></p>
