No 1Ds Mark IV anymore but a 5 D Mark III instead.

[Daniel Browning]

Well Daniel, we can only conclude from what we see that there ain't gonna be no 5D III or 7D II. Unless you can give some solid evidence we'll just assume you've been pulling are leg.

No, no! Definitely not pulling your leg. I've just been too busy lately to repond to the thread. I have some time now, so I'll be happy to fill you in on the details.

Google says he's a noted bridge salesman based in London. I still don't get it.

I'm he might be involved in real estate, but I googled him and he is supposed to be the chief executive officer of Canon. So I guess that is pretty reliable!

That's why everything he has told me so far has turned out to be true.

Just to make sure were talking about the same guy does he look like this Daniel?

Yep, that's him.

Please put us all out of our collective misery Daniel and tell us all the Canon new product releases for the next year.

As luck would have it, last week I was visiting in Japan again and Fujiosan (as I call him) gave me the overall outline.


The first bit of big news is a 24-70 f/2.8 L IS ($2,000). We met at the same studio where they filmed the moon landings back in 1969, but everyone's already seen my video of Neil Armstrong's "landing", and I wanted to really test this lens out, so Canon let me take an early copy of this lens on assigment for a week and I snapped a few great shots of Sasquatch.


We're also looking at a 14-24 f/2.8 L IS ($2,400) released with a 500mm f/5.6 L IS ($2,700). They let me borrow a 500mm and I got a few great raw files of the Loch Ness Monster (you may have seen my earlier shots of him -- they weren't very detailed).


Unfortunately, the bridge sale I was working on fell through. I'm not worried about it though, I'm sure another buyer will come along. My other close friend, Mr. Barnum (I call him PT), said "there is another Canon rumor born every minute." []
