Historically, yes that's all
A few are wondering if Canon has any more announcements to make. Usually this is it. There are various events around the world today for the new products, so I don't expect more announcements.
I haven't received any emails from anyone saying to expect another announcement.
What we got right
I like to keep a tally of what we got right and what we got wrong.
Two Tilt-Shift Lenses – Right
We caught wind of 2 lenses about an hour before we did our PMA predictions, very happy we got this one right.
Underwater Camera – Right
– A new source turned out to be right.
SX1 IS in North America – Right
– Reported this a long time ago.
No 1D Replacement – Right
– Reported this a long time ago
No 24-70 or 100-400 Replacements – Right
– We had some rumors for these two lenses, however we did our PMA predictions and went with our solid sources and turned out to be right.
The Bad News
We also have to own up to what didn't come to fruition.
A New Rebel 500D – Wrong
– I think our spec list for the camera is about right, it's just not here for PMA. Possible later in the spring like the Rebel XS last year? We did have a source that said no Rebel for PMA, so we were half right!
35L f/1.4L II – Wrong
– I'm a bit bummed we got this wrong. As I reported a long while ago, the 35L wouldn't be replaced until the new 1Ds. Should have stuck with that source.
A Compact Flash – Wrong
– Makes logical sense, never arrived.
That's life as a rumors site, I try really hard to be right more than I'm wrong. I don't think we can ever bat 1.000, but we'll keep trying.
Thanks for reading!

Hehe I was talking about fantasy I guess… that f/2 would be twice as heavy as the 2.8 probably. But I would sit here and figure out a way to buy one!
the reason i said to buy a 1DS3 is that you complained about AF speed…
As for me falling blindly – I sold my 1D2 and bought a d700 with 24-70 2.8 while i waited to see what the 5D2 would be…
I now shoot the 5D2 with my L glass and I’m quite happy…quite
And as heavybarrel stated – check out the nikon boards and they complain constantly as well..just like you
canon is my “favourite” in all way.. i want to buy my first DSRL canon 450d but nikon d90 sounds good.

Will Canon ever release a full-frame camera that can shoot above 5fps???
Nikon already has 2. The switch to Nikon seems reasonable for a lot of people now.
