I'd suggest refreshing this thread at least 20 times per minute. Dang.. thats a lot.

My wife of almost 40yrs. just walked past me sitting at the computer,rolled her eyes,shook her head and laughed,saying you'll never grow up will you?I hope not kiddo! Hmmm.. I think she might have walked by here as well. I heard the same words. ;):)

Definition for Obsessive-Compulsive disorder:

- An anxiety disorder marked by the presence of obsessions (what else?) and compulsions (refreshing this page and Canon's "moon" page over and over again) severe enough to interfere with the activities of daily life

I think we've all got it. I need sleeeep.

Unfortunately I understand Chinese more than Japanese.

The Chinese character there means something like "Accept" So I guess it means (and this is a guess) something like "don't accept inferior products".

Heh, I'm probably totally wrong.

Shooting mostly weddings, I'm definitely interesting in picking up the 'new' 5D to compliment my 1D2n and 1D3. Canon really needs to hit a home run with this camera. Nikon press has been killing us long time and well investied fans of Canon. I'm more concerned with image quality and extreme low noise. The continuing megapixel 'wars' do not bring much to the table. For Wedding and Portraiture I was doing great work with 6 and 8mp canon bodies! The archival side of 10, 12, 16, 21 and soon 24mp (if you can afford it) is crazy. I'm approaching 4TB of RAW and everything else that goes with an event storage.

garrrr... like I said... midnight EST, 9pm PST, 6 hours from now :D

Tim -- assuming they are using the same press room and press schedules since it is also for Photokina, I'm going off of the time of the 50D announcement.

Pretty surprised they've been able to keep any real details quiet. I mean, we usually have some hacked, obscure website in a different language to pour over a few days in advance. What's the deal? :(

no,no hidden message,i just thought on a whim if the exposition of the camera was truly about to happen,say, within 6-8 hours that perhaps i might catch someone up in Lake Success drowsing a bit and get a "real" answer about the new camera(how's that for a run on sentence!)You know,Liz is tired,it's been a rough week,what with all the new gear being released and maybe,just maybe,she says,"ahh,the heck with Corporate,I'm gonna tell this guy he can get his new camera for christmas"

If you take the first letter of the first word in each line this secret message appears:

TPAACIREITSLTSIYUM8

Which means: Today Probably An Accurate Canon is Returning Eventually. It takes some ligitimate time sending it your ultimate M8.

Which means. Canon have bought Leica and are bringing out the new M8. Called M8 Ultimate!!!!

:shock:
