NEWS UPDATE from Canon Shanghai Event for March 2nd.
I went to the site this afternoon. The Backdrop of Jackie Chan, I still can't see it very clearly what is he holding cause the site is still closed to public but the sign on the booth is written 1DX. Since 1DX hasn't debuted yet in China. So, what is on Jackie Chan Hand is just 1DX.

More images and some of videos of their rehearsal for their big screen showing some teaser still uploading.

The Canon Shanghai Event is not about IXUS Roadshow. But this actually Celebrating 15 Years of Canon China. There's divided into 4 booth there. EOS, PowerShot, IXUS and Legria. No sign of any 5D3 yet. Lets wait till tomorrow. The show will start at 6PM Shanghai Time.

I think it was took somewhere in Shanghai Central Theatre where will be the location of the new product release only for press.
The other pics took by benprasetyatan are from Shanghai Century Square where general public can access

Yes correct. That was just Celebration of 15 Years Canon China. The actual Canon Conferences will be held somewhere closed to public only for press media on 2PM March 2nd Shanghai Time (Someone said on Chinese Forums)

At the Shanghai event, by the "EOS booth/corner" are there spots for posters to still go up? Meaning are they holding back placing up posters of the new EOS?

If someone could check it out and get back to all of us here, it would be great.

 

[aarongilpin]

I know it's a BIT exiting, but a lot of you are going over the top it's JUST a camera. If most of you spent as much time taking photos as looking at the forums you would be some of the best togs in th world. ;D

They are still closing the site. I couldn't see it clearly. But from what i saw from the Backdoor Gate, inside is still messed up with construction project.

I just walked by the stage during my lunch break today. I can confirm that there are four separate areas apart from the main stage in the middle; PowerShot, IXUS, Legria and EOS, as mentioned before.

I tried to sneak into a side passage near the EOS booth to have a closer look, but was quickly asked to get out by a guard.

The booth itself is far from ready at this point, with a section in the middle of the booth notably empty of posters or camera names.

What is really interesting is the banner on top of the booth. On the right hand side you will see the EOS-1DX logo. Now, looking at the LEFT hand side, it's very clear that a second logo has been temporarily been covered up by white cloth!

A new, yet to be announced, camera WILL be displayed here. Is it the 650D or 5DIII? Perhaps it's both, but I bet that white cloth is covering the name "EOS 5D Mark III"!

Here's the TRUE invite ;D

 

[Handcarryonly]

Hi peeps,

I've just managed to get a last minute invite to the event tomorrow afternoon (2 March) in Singapore.

SPEED. QUALITY.
How do these matter to you in the world of imaging?

Is what it says on the invite.

They are incredibly hush hush about it and the PR people won't tell me what the event is about, but like everybody else, I bet its the 5D3 and looking forward to laying my hands on it!

 

[D.Sim]

Here's the TRUE invite ;D

exactly what simonxu posted one page ago.

only new picture now is just the covered bit of billboard.

What I find really interesting is that all the leaked pictures of the camera never show us the right front side (the side where the grip is).
At the picture with the poster on the kitchenfloor it might be intention but maybe its only a happenstance.

 

[ramon123]

Is clearly says on the lens 24/105mm f/4 IS but is it the first version or the new II version?

Doubt it, what with leaks of the full camera out already - unless theres a massive change coming
