May sound like a late April joke, but it isn’t. It’s a clear sign that Canon is going to announce new Cinema cameras at NAB 2015.
Canon has reduced the price of both the C100 and C300 to an insane level. The Canon Cinema C100 is on sale for $2,999 (body only) B&H Photo | Adorama), and the C300 for $6,499 (body only) B&H Photo | Adorama).

CanonUSA on YouTube posted a video about how to use your photos for creative packaging.
Have you ever thought about using photos as part of your packaging, or printing your own gift wrap? Your packaging can be just as cute as the gift itself! To view the entire “Get Creative with Canon” series, go to http://www.mycraftchannel.com/shows/G….
Egami (translated) spotted a patent filed by Canon for an image processing algorithm that corrects lens vignetting by varying the exposure time according to the image height, i.e. applying different exposure times to different spots in the image area.
One thing to note, in my opinion: this patent implicitly also refers to a new sensor tech. Some excerpts from the patent description:
The present invention relates to the control method of the imaging device which has an image sensor in which exposure control is possible for every region, and the Method of amendment of an image.
In the imaging device which photos an object by acquiring an optical image via a lens, in the image of the photoed object, what is called a light-falloff-at-edges phenomenon in which light volume is deteriorated occurs as it goes to an image periphery from the central part of the image.
It is known that a light-falloff-at-edges phenomenon will be decided by the relation of the characteristic of the lens with which an imaging device is provided, and the characteristic of a solid state image pickup device. Specifically, it is a relation with the position of the solid state image pickup device to an effective image circle (region where light hits uniformly), and the amount of light falloff at edges is decided uniquely. However, it will be the requisite that the effective pixel center of a solid state image pickup device and the optical axis center of a lens are corresponding in this case. It is dependent also on the f-stop of a lens, and the amount of light falloff at edges has an omission condition of light volume remarkable in the opening and small diaphragm side. In the opening side, although the incident light in a lens center enters as a general lens characteristic with circular light flux, since the incident light in the corner of a lens always passes along the corner, light will be kicked, incident light becomes the light flux of elliptic form, and light volume is deteriorated.

CanonUSA on YouTube posted a 6 minutes video about the Canon [shoplink 22664]EOS 7D Mark II[/shoplink]. Anything you want to know about the 7D2? The video is likely to give you an answer.
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).

Canon press release:
Canon U.S.A. Expands Network Camera Lineup With Introduction Of Nine New Versatile, High Performance Models – Including Three In New “Speed Dome” Category
New Network Camera Models Include Weather and Vandal Resistant Speed Domes with 30x Optical Zoom and 360 Degrees Continuous Rotation, and Multiple Outdoor and Indoor Fixed Dome and Bullet Cameras
MELVILLE, N.Y., March 31, 2015 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has introduced nine new Network Cameras with advanced capabilities designed to efficiently meet outdoor and indoor applications in a wide range of markets including city surveillance, critical infrastructure, financial institutions, airports and transportation, education, retail, commercial offices, and gaming establishments. All nine new Canon network cameras integrate advanced core components designed to deliver video with superb detail, vital color information and exceptional low-light performance. Those core components include advanced Genuine Canon lenses with High and Super High UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) lens elements and multilayer coatings, high sensitivity 1.3MP CMOS image sensors, and dual proprietary Canon DIGIC processors: the DIGIC DV III to help maximize image quality and the DIGIC NET II for simultaneous streaming of H.264 and M-JPEG video streams in multiple resolutions for versatile monitoring and recording (including monitoring on compatible smartphones and tablets).

glass supplies (more exotic types) are limiting the introduction of a whole load of new top end lenses. Canon has new manufacturing capacity, but optical glass making still takes a lot of time and is not just something you can just quickly ramp up
Sounds unreliable to me, and never I got any suggestion pointing in this direction. For me it’s CW1.
