Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

Going by the cities CR has confirmed, and assuming all the events start at 9:30am local time, Shanghai will be the first event which in EST is Thursday night March 1st at 8:30pm.

Excite get!

Which is 7:30 PM Central - even better for me

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

so 8.30pm EST is 4.30am Irish time.

I may just have to power up the PC if up for a TB that time of the morning.

I trust the CR guy because thats what this website is all about after all and he has to have a lot of credible sources in the industry to even put up a website like this.

Friday morning it is. ;D

I'm tingling with anticipation for the announcement of the Canon X Mk II Calculator Mouse.

One more thought on "Colazione da EOS"-literally Breakfast from EOS (Canon). Since breakfast is the start of a new day, could this be a subtle reference to a new start for the EOS camera line, i.e., the new 5DIII?? Man, this waiting coupled with some sleep deprivation is causing strange thoughts in my head! I need another cup of coffee. ;D

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

Not trying to be a negative nancy, but this invite looks kind of lack luster compared to the invite for other recent invites for big items--the C300 invite comes to mind. If this is for 5diii you'd think canon would want to pump up the volume a little bit... ?? maybe breakfast is a huge deal in italy? thoughts?

Breakfast in Italy will probably cost 15 Euros... It is a big deal
Besides, it is a Muffin or a Fairy Cake. Italians don't do cupcakes.
BTW, where does it say 5D Mark III? I could be any EOS.
I hope Canon doesn't let us down and give us more than 22MP to compete with the D800...

I live in Shanghai. I saw a Canon Stage on Shanghai Tourist Street prepared for March 2nd Event. Here's some photos from a Chinese Forum http://dcclub.pchome.net/thread-6635483-2-1.html
From what i saw. There's a lot more of big IXUS sign than the Jackie Chan with EOS logo. Let's see what will happen on that day. Gonna be there and do some coverage.

From the pics I saw on that site there are a lot of banners up for lots of different Canon gear.

Lots of IXUS signs is a concern but they are possibly only putting up the other stuff at the moment so as to keep the announced stuff still under wraps... I mean itd be kind of a giveaway if the put the 5d3 banners up 2 days before the announcement wouldnt it.

Lots of ixus signs make sense, it's called Ixus Night Show

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

What i am thinking is... iXUS could not be that important to make Canon hold event for it all over the world on the same day.....so 5D(s) is(are) coming!

 

[EIREHotspur]

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

Is there anyone from Shanghai (who isn't even remotely interested in cameras but can make out "5D Mark III" symbol) and will be passing that stand and can let us know if it's happening?

They have to be able to speak the language of these boards though......Gibberish.

I think it is a transposition of the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in italian "Colazione da Tiffany"

Is that Jackie Chan holding the camera in that picture?

It would be pretty weak if they got Jackie Chan to hold a "Rebel" for the announcement photo...

Looks like a new Rebel is coming, T4i

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

the whole design of that card looks not canon.. Canon has a different style.. I've designed online banners for canon some time ago and im sure this is not their style! unless it is some random italian guy who did it.

An Eos breakfast also in Paris?

Re: Here's an Invite for March 2, 2012

I actually have to agree with this. It seems rather... non-thematic for a release as monumental as the 5D Mark III.

I mean, I still believe that CR is correct, since he has access to enough information that he's usually right, but why such a tame theme for the release of the update to their most successful product ever?

Way I see it - isn't it more like - Japan releases an announcement/event on the 5D in the small hours, so European journalists, have some caffeine and sugar to keep you going in what will be a long and frenetic news day?

Is it just wishful thinking or do I see the faint glow of an off-white lens barrel attached to that camera he's holding?
