"Canon vows to hone on high-end camera market after earnings, sales drop due to smartphones
The world’s largest camera maker said its net profit for the quarter that ended Sept. 30 fell 1% while imaging system sales, which include digital cameras, plunged more than 9%. ‘We will sell cameras that can provide quality that smartphones cannot give,’ CFO Toshizo Tanaka said."
Lets read that again:
‘We will sell cameras that can provide quality that smartphones cannot give,’
Well that is not too hard is it... Even a RX100III does that... geezus

Wait a minute. Are you saying that if Canon "fails" to announce the gear hinted at in a fantasy post in a web forum that they have "let us down?" ;-)
No, Canon has already let a number of people down... the upcoming show was just a potential opportunity for them to rectify that situation.

Exactly, and with quotes like this ( ‘We will sell cameras that can provide quality that smartphones cannot give,’) from their head honcho I wouldn't recommend having high expectations on future digital camera products at Canon. They are making great lenses though. Their lens division gets my praise.
There you go. Scott Kelby demos "Canon's new flagship 1DXs announced at the PDN PhotoPlus International Conference Thursday afternoon" featuring 46 megapixels and 14 stops of dynamic range http://scottkelby.com/2014/Showcases-new-1DXs-features-samples/
