Yes! Finally can print photos! A use for that direct print button. I hope this involves at least one or two of those lovely buttons.

Rough translation: Applied Nanotech gives up patent fight against Canon.
Now the way is free for Canon and the SED-TV Technology.

In an other German article I saw Canon making the statement, that they see new displays as THE hub of any office and home. They are talking about displays that can be hooked to a network.

So that sounds a lot like "tomorrows trends and factors of success in the continually more digitalized everyday life" to me.

Also look at this:

and that: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph...27".PGNR.&OS=DN/20090108727&RS=DN/20090108727

I bet on a SED-TV. Thou I would prefer a full sensor camera, a better monitor isn´t to bad at all.

I think Canon and Red should merge to make the ultimate consumer friendly cinema camera. Red has the right technology while Canon has the power to mass produce and advertise. This would leave everyone else in the dust (scratching their heads).
 
Maybe they'll announce that they've bought Nikon, or maybe Panasonic or maybe Sony :) Or even all three :):)

Don't think they could buy Red, unless they've made Jim an offer he couldn't refuse :Drogar-Evil(DBG):

Maybe a full frame video camera (with traditional shape) with removable lenses,
non-interlaced chip so no rolling shutter,
shooting to cineform raw codec, onto SDHC cards or Compact flash cards
with 2 slots of both, and XLR inputs in a small form factor, and HDMI out
in both HD and SD.

...it's in a brown box, so not an SLR

That makes me wonder how, should that happen, Jim and co.'s image would change in the eyes of their fans. How many would applaud the move versus how many would decry it?

What they need to do is incorporate a global shutter with their sensors...then we would never have to worry about skew or jello.
 
Canon is getting into the sunglasses business with the Oacanonley.
Later they intend to sell the profitable business and develop an APS-C camcorder.
 
The big announcement is that every product will now ship in a brown cardboard box with a big red cloth draped over it.
 
The hint is that the luncheon and announcement will be done in Sweden. From all places in the world, why the heck would you go to Sweden to do such an announcement?

So, they are buying Hasselblad ? That is Swedish? In my opinion, it makes sense for Canon to move to the medium format market.

However, reading that the guys involved are just part of the office group at Canon, it's probably going to be a copier, or something like that.

Canon are releasing a range of sunglasses. They were told this the first step in becoming a successful video camera company.
 
common !!! they clearly have bought the Honda robot "Asimo" ... it will be renamed "CanAsimo" and will be for sale as part of the upgrade package of the 5D to 24p . The robot can and will do the 30-24 conversion internally even while walking up stairs :dankk2:

here is a taste of the 24p experience it will bring ( this was a pre production beta model as the expirience might be a bit different currently ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTlV0Y5yAww

Hasselblad is owned and operated by Shriro, a Chinese company. I doubt Canon would purchase them; they could easily use their own Canon brand name if they wanted to go medium-format, and Hasselblad's sensor technology comes from Kodak or other third-parties- which still uses CCD technology.

I personally think we are being distracted by the comment " "one of the most important launches in company's history". Whatever it is, it has to fit within a cardboard box that we have absolutely no sense of scale for. Having purchased quite a few Canon products within my life; Canon doesn't ship their photographic products within a plain brown cardboard boxes. My 1D Mark III came in a black box. The way its written it almost sounds like some sort of 'green' technology; maybe using a economically viable method of using their inkjet technology to manufacturer OLED or SED displays. One way or the other, it sounds like they may have over-hyped their own product, because, depending on perspective, 'important' is entirely subjective.
 
And... here we are, the 29th, and we're about five hours past when the announcement was supposed to take place.

So -- what was it?
