Rubbish IMO. Think digiterev had us all for a ride. Absolutely nothing? Come on they should at least announce a new damn printer lol

Maybe no one has, could be that the release is under embargo until Canon are ready for a worldwide launch to avoid being swamped under the Nikon marketing machine for their new mirrorless system.

If that was the case DigitalRev would have had to sign an NDA before actually being allowed to attend the event surely?

To think I laughed at the guys speculating over the Nikon announcement that turned out to be a CoolPix camera. At least they announced something :lol:
 
Coming at it from an 80s film mindset as I still am, decent performance at anything over 400 ASA is impressive. :D

Only if Canon knew what Nikon was launching and the potential impact (though I'm pretty sure they were aware).

Purely for the sake of an example, let's say Canon were launching the 5D3. They announce the launch of 'a product', invite various industry and retail folk, sort out location and dates, etc. Then Nikon start putting great big white hands in city centres and run a viral web campaign, prompting a lot of media attention.

Launch a pro-spec camera in that atmosphere and you're running the risk of being ignored because you're delivering something to a pretty small market by comparison. Worse, it looks as though your biggest competitor has stolen a march on you by launching a consumer product with plenty of time on the run up to Christmas.

I'm not saying that's what's happened (and I'm in no position to know anything, it's all speculation) but it's an alternative. :)
 
So the product launch wasnt a launch at all it was showing something everyone already knew about, how lame
