Canon at CES 2011......

Wow what a disappointment.

few cheap cameras in A series, really nothing, NOTHING interesting.

Why has the A series become the bottom of the pit? I remember they use to have manual functions and stuff!

was there anything interesting from the opposition that we haven't seen yet? I mean nikon/sony/pentax/etc

Canon only had the A series, the bottom of the line cameras

others had more interesting cameras

Can't say im one bit surprised...

That Fuji superzoom looks decent, I'd like to try it some time...

Their camcorders were interesting.

I guess they're waiting for more photo- and video-centered events.

CP+ is in early february
NAB is in early april

Let's wait and see...

Disappointment? Go home and cry on your lace pillow. I'll be out making photographs.

Hahahaha Harsh, but real

and money

when are the next major events this year relating to photography?

Back when Canon opted out of PMA, they pretty much declared that they were doing so to avoid being bound by a specific schedule for product releases.

Wait. Was anyone there? Canons presentation was phenomenal! Best i have seen in over 12 years from them. It was everything but disappointing.
