NEWSFLASH: CANON TO CHALLENGE RED - SEPT. 29TH
Posted by Peter Marsh in Articles Sep 9th, 2009 | 4 responsesDo not buy a 7D yet! I REPEAT, do not buy a Canon 7D yet.
This is just in and it can only mean one thing.
Canon will challenge the Red camera…. most likely the Red Scarlett.
For those of you who don’t speak the native tongue of Sweden, let me translate.
Mark the calendar
During this fall, Canon will make one of its largest and most important launches in the company’s history and we hope you can attend. During a luncheon, you are invited to listen to CEO Jouko Tuouminen, Marketing presiden Monica Forsberg and trend analyst Magnus Lindkvist, talking about tomorrows trends and factors of success in the continually more digitalized everyday life.
Date: september 29
Time: 11 am- 1pmAn invitation including more information will come soon.

The box is draped in red. Coincidence? I think not… CORRECTION: Alain P from Canon 5d Tips pointed out that red is also Canon’s color… So the color of the draping is just a brand thing… OR maybe it’s also a sign of blood (because blood is red unless you’re Spock)… the blood to come between Canon and Red
“Canon will make one of its largest and most important launches in the company’s history?”
Umm… unless they’re launching a new lens that can also create Archimedes like death rays, I’m so sure that this must be a new video DSLR camera that will just blow us the hell away. I just have a gut feeling about it… it’s so strong… (but when I was five I also had a gut feeling that Pee Wee Herman would be president… didn’t turn out that way… Or maybe it did?)
Whatevs…This fall RED and Canon will go head to head. Who will win?
More reporting to come. STAY TUNED
You do realize that Red is Canon main color, right?
It is probably going to be a 1D with video.
Thanks… I made a correction (and a link to your blog.)
