Where did you see that? I skimmed the whole PDF and it was talking about a share exchange with another company.. Didnt see anything on a camera
It was a joke

On the other hand..

Nothing can happen to something that doesn't exist yet

DPReview are pretty reliable, I think it's as true as possible. Also on British Journal of Photography, they add..

The 550D will retail from 24 February. Prices start at £800 (body-only) or £900 with the 18-55mm lens and £1100 with a 18-135mm lens. The double lens kit will retail at £1200.

Just seems odd for it not to have appeared on any Canon sites yet.

Apparently

In all seriousness, can anyone confirm whether or not the 550D made an appearance at the advertised event?

Sorry, I meant "wonderful pocket photographic machines"

, I'm sure they are amazing tools

... Sorry, I'm a bit disappointed as I was expecting (silly me, I know) a 1ds4 ....

I wasn't expecting a new 1ds4, but at the very least something more apropos to the tag line "canon at the movies". You know, something that will be used for more than capturing a 9 yr old blowing out birthday candles.

I'm sure all the indie filmmakers are going to dump their 5d2's in favor of the t2i.....

I heard a rumour today (local photo store) that canon will be announcing soon a 1Ds MK IV. What does soon mean is one question. Full frame MKIV very cool (if true).
Lets hope!

Well, given the body that was announced I can say I'm not surprised that there wasn't a lens announced with it. I think we'll be waiting until spring when the 1DsIV is announced in order to see any worthwhile lenses (i.e. 24-70II, 35II etc etc).

I hope they will release better L lenses like 35L mk II or 24-70 mk II. I am set with cameras for next 3 years

Seems like Canon and Nikon are playing a game of staredown this month, waiting for the other one to blink first.

I must honestly say that I am very disappointed. I was hoping for some Mark II telephotos, a new pro body and maybe some NEW teles. And it was just cheap consumer stuff.

I just saw the press release about the new Nikkors.....

Nikon's got the idea. They've been releasing SO many new lenses recently. I want to see Canon do it. Going by the Nikon trend, Canon should be releasing a 300mm f/2.8L IS USM II and a 16-35mm f/4L IS USM (or a 14-24mm) at least. I hope Canon is actually working on some new lenses right now....

Doesn't make the Canon Press Release seem any sweeter.
