Intriguing image spotted by Northlight Images. According to NL there are ‘professional’ Canon events in Germany in October, starting on the 12th in Berlin. Why intriguing? Because it shows an “1” series camera body without any model designation. However, checking Canon Germany’s homepage I could find only three events scheduled for October, none appears to be related to DSLRs, let alone to a camera announcement. The three events are:
- Canon InMotion2013 @ Druck+Form in Sinsheim
- Canon Business Lounge in Mülheim/Ruhr
- Fotobookfestival in Kassel
So before you (and me) are hoping to see a big announcement it is better to slow down expectations. :)
