So... umm... boy that 7D sure is a NICE camera huh? Don't you just love... it...:huh:

I prostrate my self for starting this thread...
 
You know it probably is some lame printer related announcement. Canon Business Solutions probably hired some kid from the Swedish Art Institute School of Graphic Design to come up with a campaign for a new inkjet printer that uses 5% less dye and the kid got carried away and called it one of the most important announcements in Canon history, thinking he's on the fast track to becoming assistant to the executive secratary's assistant's liason to the PR Department's Ink Related Offices of North Western Europe and Associated Cartridge Packaging Design and Font Selection Team.
 
You gotta admit with the 7D *just* shipping this week any announcement of a new camera would be bad business practice.

:grin: Brilliant! Yeah, that graphic on Canon Rumors certainly looked amateurish.

Must we go through this every time a rumor captures our imagination? Or have we finally learned a lesson? I'm not wild about seeing rumors being discussed here. It's better left for rumor sites, or perhaps a dedicated forum...

I agree that rumors are best left off the board - but it's hard to ignore a 'rumor' when it comes from the company itself.

It's not like some anonymous source gave us the idea a big announcement was coming - Canon itself released a statement claiming "one of the most important launches in the company's history"

That's a pretty bold statement for them to simply let fade away.

Lesson here is if you can't deliver - keep your mouth shut.
If they hadn't teased anything no one would be the wiser.
Not that they're a few hours late on announcing it, they look disorganized and a bit ridiculous.

Wait a minute... Do we know for a fact that Canon was the actual source? I certainly don't remember that. My impression was that the supposed "invitation" to the event was "leaked" anonymously to Canon Rumors. It certainly wasn't reported by Engadget, which I read every day.
