This is stupid. it's just the actual release date for the 7DII to the consumer. Canon apparently gave the complete first run of cameras to shops for beta testing. Or it's a 46MP EOS-MII.

If it relates to an improved sensor 7D Mark II sales would die. So it's gotta be Canon announcing... nothing.
Not if it arrives in a slower fps, less reach FF camera body. 10fps vs 6fps, 50MP equivalent vs 32MP reach. Not the same thing. Plus it might be a development announcement for release for next spring or summer.

I think this thread shows what a long way Canon has to go to get back "happy and satisfied" users, instead of users tied to Canon because of lens investments.
Turn the clock back ten years and substitute Nikon for Canon!

umm, thought that referred to the bleachers at baseball parks, where peanuts are sold.
The original meaning was essentially "the cheap seats," way up high in the top balcony. However, the term no longer just refers to a "place," but rather to a group and a sort of behavior as described in this and other definitions.
By the way, you can still buy peanuts on the lower levels at the ball park. Though I prefer garlic fries and beer. (Go, Giants!) ;-)
I had a weird dream overnight (not joking). I dreamed I was at the press event for this release and was selected out of the audience to test the camera at the show. It was being promoted as a very low-light camera and I was told to shoot all the dark places I could find around the venue and report back to everyone in the audience. I even remember asking if I could keep the raws and was told yes. I wonder if this is how premonitions come to Psychic1?
Whatever it is, why didn't Canon introduce it at one of the biggest shows for imaging around? I am referring to the Photokina just last month, actually just 3 weeks ago. Why did they have to pick another date just 3+ weeks later? In addition, I don't like the presence of a different logo left of the word "Canon" either but I am crossing my fingers.....
I still think the box, with the glow in the middle, logo is the key to this mystery so here are some additional possibilities:
Canon’s PR department is finally getting its own logo?
They just had a thought and felt that the image of a light bulb turning on was passé?
Instead of thinking outside the box they’re just going to blow it up? I just hope we don’t get blasted in the face with a bunch of used kitty litter!
It could be some kind of newfangled modular product? They couldn’t use Lego blocks in the logo or the new product (trademarked) so this is what those high school advertising interns mentioned earlier came up with.
The box may represent a corporate reorganization with the sides representing different divisions or even separate new companies? The “peanut gallery” must be the shareholders or perhaps a herd of elephants?
This tease could be a totally random experiment with no meaning at all so it’s possible it’s impossible to figure out thus crediting Canon with creating the impossible?
I've decided that its the super low light surveillance video camera. That sensor was announced last year. It will be a big push to sell to industry, businesses, law enforcement, and military users. There are lots of deep pocketed customers involved, thus the big advertising spread.

could be, not sure though, it seems a bit flowery for that market
I both doubt that it is a White Kiss for the rest of the world or something that will be of particular interest to most in the Canon DSLR forum here though.
Frank makes prediction about 46meg. monster cam bout 3 weeks ago. Goes out on limb with prediction and threatens to cut it from the inside! Frank lives in New York. Frank is really psychic or has dayum good connections. Canon makes "impossible" announcement yesterday. Tomorrow canon announces monster pix cam. For 3 weeks the photography forums go wild. Monster cam is introduced at Javits Center in New York end of October. Javits Center filled to capacity. Canon shuts up the peanut gallery landscape and wildlife photographers with releases of monster cam and 7DII. Fantasy or Fact?

A $9000 monster camera would definitely create buzz. But I think a giant segment would be ignored, the segment that sees the Nikon D750 as a nearly perfect camera for $2300 with no Canon alternative... That will be frustrating.
but I am crossing my fingers....
