Canon’s November 3rd Announcement

The location of the event clearly signifies a video announcement and NOT a photographic one. Those of you who are eagerly awaiting a Canon 5dMK3 can take a seat, this is NOT going to appear on this date. It’s fairly safe to say that we are going to see a large sensor, interchangeable lens video camera. Canon have taken their time over this product so we ought to see something pretty special here.

I just received this press release from Canon and I thought it was pretty interesting. It seems that we can now add Captain America : The First Avenger, to the list of Hollywood feature films to use the Canon 5dMKII in their production.
