I have a source, I absolutely rely/trust upon. It told me, there will be an announcement of an unbelieveable new DSLR body at a phantastic price end of this month 28th.
We will all be happy for beeing with Canon. :-)
Let´s see.
Yep it's a Rebel 4X with 24-70L IS II (designed just for you ).

I did get an e-mail from Canon on 2/7 announcing new PowerShot cameras, no DSLR's though.
Me too. And I think that's the source of the confusion about a February 7 announcement. We knew a camera would be announced on that date and some thought it might be a dslr when in fact it was a point-and-shoot.

Maybe Canon is having a 2nd thought about releasing the 5D3 and went back to the drawing board, because they knew it's going to get pawned by the D800. Wait 3 more years buddy.

+1: This is what I am believing, too. Last minute changes to make it as much competitive to the D800 as possible in a short period of time. If Canon planned to cripple again the AF, they need to rethink this. It is an image issue now for Canon - I am also convinced that it was no accident that the CEO was let go at the same time after Nikon announced the D800. Even DSLRs are not the biggest money-bringer in Canon's business, it would be a severe image loss for the company to fail so badly if they can't come up with something equivalent - and fast!

and Tsunamis happened because God wanted to punish humans that have been violating His laws, I guess.

Do you think they stopped short of the announcement to go and redesign the 5D3 when they saw the D800
Many of the Nikon 800 samples are from July 2011. They **had** to know what was coming from Nikon.
The 5D2 was revolutionary in many ways 3 years ago (the video, etc.) So was the 1DsII in 2004, the 20D.
Canon has had a history of suprising and surpassing what people thought was possible. Let's hope they do again, although in this case I think Nikon has done that instead.

I think Canonland is running out of good arguments. Does it hurt so much? C'on, it is the best situation right now for us consumers (if you are a consumer...). Competition is great - I am sure Canon will now wake up and give us the best they have. It is their only choice now.

Well, take the for what it's worth. Canon Rumors Guy (traveling in Ecuador) has given a CR3 (meaning a certainty) that an announcement of a 5D 3 (or X) is coming either on or about the 28th of February or possibly a week later.
No, it´s for real.
