Canon held an event in Osaka, Canon Grand Presentation 2015. Th event ends tomorrow. The following Canon products are on display:
This isn’t new murmuring, it’s another confirmation that these gear will come for NAB.
Canon Rumors reports they got another mention of the imminent announcement of the EOS C500 Mark II. The C300 Mark II will feature 4k video. I am almost sure CR is right here. Rated CW4.
Moreover, the recently surfaced GH4 competitor rumor appears to have got also another mention, since CR is “pretty certain” this camera will come for NAB. They also speculate it will be a camera with an 1 inch sensor, and that it will be shaped like the C100 Mark II, just a bit smaller. I rate this rumor CW3.
Finally, they are no longer sure the C500 Mark II will come for NAB (which I totally agree: there will not be a C500 Mark II announcement at NAB).
Stay tuned…

Imaging Resource posted the conclusion of their EOS 7D Mark II review. An excerpt:
In terms of speed performance, the 7D Mark II is a solid performer. Shutter lag, cycle times and burst speeds are all very good based on our lab tests, and the generous buffer depth is also very welcomed. However, autofocus performance was not a clear-cut improvement over the original 7D. With the new iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) feature, which utilizes color information, face detection and other info from the metering sensor, the 7D Mark II provides greater focus accuracy, however that does slow down sheer AF speed (and burst rate slightly, too). Nevertheless, even in single-shot AF mode, which doesn’t use the optional iTR mode, we found the AF lag speed to be slower than the 7D and 70D.
The review comes with samples, IQ tests, and more. IR also published and EOS 7D Mark II shooter’s report (part 1 | part 2).
Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II’s highlights: the excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too). All our coverage on the EOS 7D Mark II can be seen here (and there is a lot).

You can pre-order the M3 also at DigitalRev (ships internationally). DigitalRev’s price at checkout is inclusive of all taxes and customs for customers from Asia and the EU (and possibly a better price than Amazon), for customers from the US taxes depend by the state.
