Canon announcement 9-29-09 "one of the most important launches in company's history"

[Matt Gottshalk]

Wow!:zombie_smiley:

 

[stip]

yeah, if they want to make everybody laugh at them, this is most probably the revolution they were talking about

 

[Michael Olsen]

Scarlet Killer, seriously. RED just doesn't have anything to compete with native secure PDF support

 

[Rakesh Jacob]

LOL I know!
Jannard needs to shelve Epic and Scarlet and step up his PDF game if he ever seriously wants to compete with Canon Business Systems!

 

[Jason Ramsey]

I gotta have one... oh.... wait....

Perhaps Canon is gearing up to compete with Scarlet after all? Surely PDF files would put a dent in the market for large JPG files.

However, rumor has it that Red will come out with uncompressed Scarlets soon, in the form one huge TIF file.

Exciting times to be looking at pictures of cameras on the internet for sure!!

So there was an announement ad that was never actually proved to be put out by Canon, and there was also an announcemnt on the day that this supposed announcement was about to happen?

Who says they are related?

 

[Ted Ramasola]

can this new pdf do 4k?

can this new pdf do 4k?

Yes, but its only 4:0:0.

pdf has no resolution its vector .

 

[Ted Ramasola]

pdf has no resolution its vector .

In that case its perfect for chromakeying. PDF is the way to go, I'll have to cancel my 7D order now...

Actually, PDFs can incorporate raster elements. For instance, you can store a scanned page (not OCR'ed) as a PDF, and the whole thing would be basically just a bitmap.

This has turned into the most entertaining thread here in a long time. Way to make light of disappointment! :grin:

 

[Nik Manning]

I really don't even know what to say. Seriously canon?

 

[jdv]

Well poop.

Perhaps, the "announcement" is that 7Ds are shipping.

My wife is very happy, I cancelled my plans to buy a 7D and will be purchasing this PDF thing and saving lots of money...that way we can both get a lot of use from it. I am however going to try to fold the PDF's into a camera shape and cut a hole to look through for a viewfinder, I just don't know where to pre-order

I wonder if every canon based forum came up with their dream idea for this announcement...and if the pdf forum was like "YES! every ten years we get something!"
