Canon will have an announcement on February 8th

By PR admin | Published: February 4, 2010

It is not clear if the announcement will be for a camcorder or a DSLR with video:

The camera company is holding an event at the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards in London on the 8 February titled “Canon at the movies”.

    definitely something video, either way the video features are always, as it seems, a few steps above nikon

    if this is it, i’ll switch to Canon. Nikon video module really pisses me off. they came out with the 1st video DSLR & after 3 generations, still stucked into the jello & bad codecs.

    Okay, I was wrong.

    But obviously someone in Japan Engineering & Marketing didn’t talk to the person in CHARGE of marketing, because they are announcing a product before a show they dropped out of.

    It’ll be like Nikon already planning on the D4 unveiling on 9/6, while Nikon Marketing announcing that they are pulling out of Photokina two months from now due to the economy.

      That’s ok, I think Leica will do the same thing – they are not part of PMA, but I think they will release at least 1 p&s and 1 M lens on February 19th (not sure about the date). Companies just want to use the momentum of the press reporting photography news.

      Too soon, us Nikon guys would yell ;-) Or, is it like this, as soon as a new body is out, we already want the successor?

      Is Canon going to beat Nikon at a Video camera that takes all existing photo lenses?

    Canon has indicated in the past they are working on some new HD format for their Pro Video Cameras, and Panasonic (for the past year have release a couple new AVCHD Pro VidCams), Sony made an early announcement some months ago, and has finally started shipping their first Pro level AVCHD VidCameras, HXR-NX5 and HDR-AX200 (consumer level). So, probably no surprise if Canon could be looking to launch some form of video cameras.

    Does it say there will be an announcement at all?
    It just says its an event. could be just a mini expo, showing current gear and its capabilities to the uneducated film masses while theyre in town?
