I absolutely can't believe that Canon bought these girls little outfits complete with little white boots, hired a choreographer and did this.

I'm ashamed to admit that I've watched it twice and it kind of makes me want a 7D. :-)

....and I want one of those little 7D outfits for the wife.

Haha...god I agree with Jean - amazing.

no jello there!

[dcoughla]

Those are Koreans, actually.

Ha ha. The Japanese are BRILLIANT marketers. Let's just say they know what people want :)

I think the RED camera team needs to see this when they think up their marketing scheme for Scarlet.

[manglerBMX]

that was kinda weird....

[Green Hornet]

Why did 2 girls have skirts, and the other 2 , shorts?

ha ha. i just remember this joke:

Steven Spielberg was shopping in hongkong. An oriental looking guy approached him for autograph. (He's a movie fan). Spielberg refused and slapped the man. The oriental man was shocked and asked: "why?". Spieldberg replied: "because you japanese bombed the pearl harbor". The man said: "but i am not japanese, i am chinese". But Spielberg said: "Ahhh... japanese, vietnamese, chinese ... it's all the same". Then, suddenly, the man slapped Speilberg. The movie director was surprised and asked why? The oriental man furiously said: "Because you sank the Titanic". Speilberg said: "It wasn't me, it was the iceberg". Then the man said: "Ahhh ... Spielberg, Gettysburg, Iceberg ... it's all the same" :grin:

PLEASE LAUGH :(

[Rakesh Jacob]

I remember a version of that joke from when I was a kid... I think I laughed :)

EDIT: Me too I did chuckle at the frowny face... so there's that :)

[dcoughla]

I didn't laugh until I got to the frowny face.. and then I chuckled :)

[boo]

by the way, the politically correct term is, Asian... :p

YESSSS!!! Something with more junk in the trunk, more bounce to the ounce, and I don't mean jello/cmos skew!

[Richard J. Johnson]

that has got to be the worst routine I have ever seen. My kids rock out better than that. vid looks good though.

ummm yeah, I'm glad you broke the ice on that. I really don't like to comment negatively on some one elses artistic endeavours... but that was pretty whack!

Yep. Easy for the ignorant westerner to confuse. (No offense to the OP)

I didn't mean the people in the video, I meant Canon and the way Japanese companies market themselves...(kind of like their game-shows - weird, yet entertaining)...

Chan-wook Park (Korean) and Takeshi Kitano (Japanese) are my two favourite directors whose films I watch religiously. Believe me, I know the difference.

When they release the 1DIV, I'm sure they'll put more junk in the trunk. This is just the 7D after all.
