The Evolution Teaser is ...well Evolving

If you look back at the Canon evolution teaser, they are showing a little more of the camera. No were near enough

to tell us a darn thing and don't bother to try and pull up the levels either. They blocked out any thing to show model,

verticle grip, and even the lens name. This most likely means new glass, which has been expected anyway. Enjoy!

For those that really care, here is the image with levels cranked up...<div></div>

I should give credit to "Luben Solev" at DPreview for the image above.

 

My real point to this thread is to point out that Canon must be useing this as a count down. Some think at the next full moon....but who the heck really knows. Also want to point out that I am not trying to push along rumors, this, as you can see, is right from canon themselves.

Ahhh... .so that's what they are doing... very clever marketing. Soooo... i'll have to be checking this out pretty often I think. Very cool.

Interesting, great marketing idea.

Yes, clever indeed. I want to point that is has a command dial, The "EOS" tag is located much like the 1D series cameras are, and to me it looks like the edge of the verticle grip in the lower left.

 

So you decide what all that means....I have my ideas but don't want to look like I am a roumor weed.

 

Jason

IMHO, Clever is true only if there are not so many new stuff (A900, D700) burning holes in folks pocket.

Some think at the next full moon....

 

The full Harvest Moon is Monday 15 September so get ready.

Not quite as exciting to amateurs like me that have purchased an XT, XTi and a 40D in the past 2 years that still have the XTi and the 40D....but I still want to see what it is!

 

When is the next full moon?

So its not my eyes then. I had posted the same thing on the 'it wont be long now' thread...

 

For those who dont see the evolution; make sure you refresh your cache (CRTL+F5 in firefox). Full moon = 15th... so we will get to see all by then.

Next full moon is at Sep. 15, 5:13 a.m. EDT. It would be interesting if they somehow managed to reveal it by coming up with something that would increase the levels by like 0.1% every 15 minutes or something.

Someone on the DPreview forum who, either knows Flash codeing rather well or is just a jerk, says that there is code that changes the amount viewable by persons location and time. Can Flash even do that? I am not buying it just yet, but I do know that how much you can see depends on the brightness of the lights in the room you are viewing your LCD monitor. I was looking at the site when the lights in my office went out due to some construction in our branch. At that point I could clearly see the "Canon" label and almost see the "EOS". I could even see the big blocked out area to hide the fact if the camera has verticle grip or not.

 

Jason

BTW, the full moon thing is just speculation as far as I can tell.....but sound like a rather good possibility.

 

Jason

Yes you can do that in Flash to some extent... either by loading a new image at a given time interval (requires a lot of images, but a better way of doing it.

 

Or, just by changing the opacity of the current image... but I think it's the former. In fact, it would take all of maybe 20 minutes of coding if you understand actionscript. Very easy.

 

The location thing is easy as well, if you understand php.

Yes flash can do that. It could be done a few different ways without much coding at all.

Cool, Thanks for that. I have Flash Basic 8, but have never learned to use it. What a shame.

 

Anyway, "Raydee" pulled out the original JPEG from the flash file and it shows that the body does not have a verticle grip. I sort of wish it did (I know many do not for weight reasons) but it probably good that it doesn't for cost reasons. I hope the current 5D grip will work.

 

Anyhow, here is the image Raydee pulled out.

Sorry, here is the image<div></div>

looks like it's the much rumoured 5D replacement.

 

Wait a minute.....

I wonder how much people at Canon must be laughing by looking at this thread ... full moon, 15th Sept, 5:13 AM EDT ... they were able to successfully drive us nuts ... tell me what/when it is I implore you ... :)

you guys must not know much about how to blow up a photograph and get detail. detectives on TV can take a picture of a car mirror 50 feet away and use some secret program to be able to read a page from a book in the reflection of the mirror...even if the book is a half mile away! get that program and all will be revealed....

I have been looking for that software.....you know the one were the feds can ID a person from the reflection in someones eye by enlargeing and enhanceing an image. If you find it, let me know.

 

Jason

Jason, if you use that watching software, who will watch you? And who will watch those watching you?

Is Jason aiming for the David Hemmings role?

I had just pulled this image and done a curve on it to post the same thing... But I don't agree with the contention that it

won't have a vertical grip - I don't think there is enough info with the blacked out area the way it is.

If you enlarge the image enough, you can actually see the moon lander!
