alan_bryant1 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave410 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>That's quite a build up -- it better be something good!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Ian Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>I'm sure it's going to be one heck of a copier! ;)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean_yves_mead Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>I'm guessing all current Rebels will be soon available in white...</p> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_bryant1 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobatkins Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbkissel Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>I'm betting it's the long-awaited Direct Print Button II with a new icon.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_bryant1 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 <p>...Apparently it wasn't a product at all, but an announcement of a new marketing campaign with new branding. "Canon See Impossible".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 <p>That was a letdown! I was expecting at least a new Rebel or S series.</p> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 <p>Great start to the new marketing campaign by annoying the customer base!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
