The Death of PMA? Canon will not be attending in 2010.
PMA is all but dead in Canada, the writing is on the wall for the US as well. Canon USA has confirmed they won't be attending the trade show. All we're going to have left is Photokina in Germany.
From PDN Gear Guide
Canon USA has confirmed to PDN Gear Guide that the company will not be attending the PMA 2010 trade show in Anaheim, CA in February.
“Yes, Canon U.S.A. has decided not to participate in the PMA 2010 Trade Show,” Melissa Dara Moritz, Canon USA's Public Relations manager, told PDN Gear Guide in an email message.
Moritz did not elaborate in her message but we expect to get more details from Eliott Peck, Canon USA's Sales Director & Assistant General Manager, in an interview later today.
The word from Canon confirms a web report from Amateur Photographer magazine which was among the first to report that the imaging giant will not be attending the the PMA 2010.
An official from PMA also confirmed the news to PDN Gear Guide.
“Yes, Canon has chosen not to exhibit at PMA 2010 in Anaheim,” said PMA spokesperson Tom Crawford. “We continue to have a good relationship with Canon, as a valued PMA member, and look forward to their participation in our many events around the world.”
Amateur Photographer's report quotes an unnamed “spokeswoman” for Canon USA who confirms that the company has “made the decision not to attend the PMA trade show in 2010.”

Jessops Saved…. For Now
Struggling camera retailer Jessops is undertaking a restructuring that it says will save the company.
It said that it would reorganise so that its biggest creditor, HSBC, owned 47% of the company, with the rest owned by pension and employee trusts.
HSBC will, in return, forgive £34m of debt that Jessops owes it.
Jessops said the restructuring would protect the about 2,000 employees of the company, and will allow it to compensate its current shareholders.

7D in the USA
I have yet to see the 7D in stock anywhere in the US, it must be coming any moment now.
cr
UPS is delivering my preorder today. Ordered body only from calumet on the morning after the announcement.
Shipped from their Chicago store, so I guess they’re starting to arrive in the states.
so where is the announcement for the 29th??
I thought the invitations were for a European location so something should have happened by now no?
What happen to sepiember 29? ;(
I bought mine from San Jose Camera and Video in Campbell, California yesterday. They only had two in stock, one of which I now own.
Thi big news no PMA 2010!
Bye bye 50d yesterday hello 7 d today.
Jessops will continue to flounder for as long as it charges 10-20% more for cameras and 20-40% for accessories.
It also doesn’t help that it tends to stock its stores with staff that know nothing about cameras.
My 7d should be arriving today or tomorrow at my local store. Was on the wait list but was told if I prepaid I would get mine first when it arrives. Lets hope it gets here today!
Sounds like Ritz camera here in USA…
And that so many of the salespeople in the Ritz stores seem clueless to me…
My friend is getting his 7D in the mail tomorrow.
My 100 2.8/L will be here tomorrow.
Ah ah ah AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAah !!!
This only means “we ll have nothing named ” 1D 4 ” to show at this time” :D
Come on Canon .. and the 29th september was the greatest annonce Canon eve made : Nothing ^^
WTF? nothing on the 29th you gotta be kidding me! Dude any info on this?
The “Announcement” appears to be related to Canon Copiers. See Press release from 9/29 on the Canon Japan site. Yawn.
probably explains why Ritz Camera was also in and out of bankruptcy protection lately
29th seems to be this.. Secure PDF scanning on copiers:

pretty much expected. some people got a little greedy after the 7D was announced I think. honestly, folks, how many brand new, top-tier cameras do you expect Canon to release in a single year?
Picking up 7D at Calumet Photo in Orange County, CA. They are here
So the “biggest announcement in history” is a scanner that securely scans to PDF? Um, my scanners here have been doing that for years, what’s so big about canon’s new ones?
I just got a call from a photo store in Kansas City, MO, USA to tell me that my Canon 7D arrived. I promptly picked it up and it is sitting right in front of me now.
If Canon aren’t attending PMA in Spring perhaps that means that all of their big announcements will have already been made? Perhaps this means that the new 1 series will be announced in October like some rumours speculate.
FYI: I just received an email from Adorama that my 7D is shipping today (29 September). I pre-ordered this on 4 September. Woopee!
what would’v happened if they released two. they could’v saved some of the pixels of the 7D for the camera that hasnt been announced today! 2 9MP cameras, that would ve been great.
Canon will be represented at CES as well, from the 7-10th of January, Q1 2010.
There are indications that Canon will, then, release any new products, like the recently discussed 1D MKIV and even a possibility of a 1Ds MKIV.
