Where does this sense of entitlement come from these days? You bought a lens, or lenses. What does Canon owe you? Functioning lenses, up to a year. Nothing more. That money you spent on the lens is in no way a promise to provide you with a certain kind of camera in the future.
Do you know Canon can't do it, or do you assume they won't? I think a lot of newer photographers haven't been around long enough to remember when Canon was on top. It's a cycle. During some time periods, Canon has better cameras. During others, Nikon has better cameras. People always assume that because it's been a couple of years where Nikon's D800 has theoretically outperformed Canon's 5D3, that Canon is just sitting on their thumbs. Do you actually work at Canon and have inside knowledge about what their current developments are? Are you aware that sometimes research, development, or production hits an obstacle and is therefore delayed? We have no way of knowing why it's taken x amount of time to come out with a successor that competes or beats Nikon, but it's ridiculous to think they are doing nothing....Show more →
Canon rules...... Whoa dude. Go Canon. Give me a C, Give me an a, Give me an n, Give me an o, Give me an n... What's that spell? CANON. Goooooooooo Canon!!!!!!
Or were simply unable to understand what they just read. Many of my students require moving text, brightly colored graphics and 9.1 audio to keep from drifting off...
I really enjoy reading how stupid I am. Obviously Canon are displaying something, at least where I live (France), which is patently wrong. They should have used another method to disply the correct countdown. But obviously, writing this not only makes me terminally stupid, but loving it, too. So be it!
Canon Europe have launched something called Come and See, I don't know if it is the same thing, that seems to be some marketing event around existing products rather than the introduction of something new.
Again, I am not sure if it is the same thing as seeing the impossible or whatever...

I've seen this last week, so doesn't look to be this ...
But I also doubt it will be a new camera.
Since the timer has clocked out and Canon has chosen not to enlighten us with what is so impossible, I've lost interest. Borders on false advertising, promising something then not delivering....

I bought my canon lenses, IMO they owe me an alternative to their competition. I don't love the idea of spending $600 for an adaptor to use my lenses on a GH4 or A7S. I know canon can do it, but they don't. That pisses me off.
Canon owes you nothing and you in turn aren't obligated to buy their products if they don't meet your requirements. When you get to the point where you think a company owes "you" something then it's time to move on. Plenty of alternatives out there to buy. Instead of being pissed off start using the gear that produces the output you want.
No, not a new camera.... Wait, I said that before. Why introduce a new camera just mere 3 weeks after Photokina? But whatever, it is not the end of the world and life goes on

Why can't I give you more "likes". You took the words out of my mouth.
“As smartphones continue to erode sales of cameras and equipment, traditional brands are building digital platforms that double as marketing assets. Today, Canon launched the multiyear “See Impossible” campaign, shifting the marketing focus away from products and onto customers’ stories.”
Pixel density will now remain constant, with little to no improvement in sensor technology.
