Canon Sees Impossible

[alan_bryant1]

<p>An interesting page up at Canon.com:</p>

<p>http://www.seeimpossible.usa.canon.com/</p>

<p>Assorted teasers. "At Canon, we see impossible." Reads like a rough translation of a Japanese original.</p>

<p>And there's a countdown timer, currently at 31 and a half hours.</p>

<p>That's quite a build up -- it better be something good!</p>

<p>I'm sure it's going to be one heck of a copier! ;)</p>

A page of pretentious twaddle and a countdown clock? That's... not the most enthralling teaser I've ever seen.

 

Probably is for a copier.

<p>My money is on them expanding their 3D printing partnership/offerings (currently Japan only). Not a lot of money, mind you...but 2 bits at least... :) </p>

<p>I'm guessing all current Rebels will be soon available in white...</p>

[alan_bryant1]

<p>I was thinking maybe it was the long-awaited fuchsia 5D mk 3.</p>

<p>I do wonder if it's a Japan-only release, since the US teaser page seems like an afterthought? Could be a copier or printer, or maybe something with EOS M.</p>

<p>It's coming right after Photokina, which would have been the logical time to do a major photography-related announcement, so perhaps it's only peripherally related to photography.</p>

<p>A new instant film camera in partnership with <em>The Impossible Project</em>.</p>

[bobatkins]

<p>It may have nothing to do with cameras or lenses. If it were a major camera announcement, they'd have made it at Photokina.</p>

<p>I'd guess some sort of office product, maybe a copier that makes toast and coffee or something similar.</p>

<p>I'd hope that it's printer ink at $1/gallon rather than the current $5000/gallon, but that's impossible...</p>

[mbkissel]

<p>I'm betting it's the long-awaited Direct Print Button II with a new icon.</p>

[John Crowe]

<p>Just because they "see impossible" doesn't mean they are doing anything about it!</p>

[Nick D.]

<p>6D with joystick.</p>

[alan_bryant1]

<p>...Apparently it wasn't a product at all, but an announcement of a new marketing campaign with new branding. "Canon See Impossible".</p>

[PuppyDigs]

<p>That was a letdown! I was expecting at least a new Rebel or S series.</p>

[dogbert]

<p>Great start to the new marketing campaign by annoying the customer base!</p>
