Should be interesting to see what this is all about:

Video related probably. EF mount lenses on a 4K camera to compete with Red? That's what many in the industry are saying, including Bloom, who is quoted. Add Hollywood as the place of the announcement and us regular photogs don't have to skip a day of work to watch it live.

I just hope for trickle down features

I do too. In my 5D mk III.

Can't wait; the Hollywood angle is certainly interesting

Last year at the Canon EXPO (held every 5 years) they showed a 4K camera prototype, so of course they're very capable of producing one. I think they said they had plans to produce it. They also showed an 8K lens and 8K monitors... those who saw them in person said they were amazing. Canon has a lot more technology than we know.

Very interesting, thanks!

Yep, my hunch is camcorder + EF lenses. Where else can Canon go? I don't think there's any revolutionary waiting in the wings. It's more doing something new for the market with what Canon has already.
