Major Canon video annoncements comming!

Bob Zimmerman · July 24th, 2006, 08:42 AM

will the strap say Canon on it?

If it does we are talking sales in the low 100's.

Graham Bernard · July 24th, 2006, 09:50 AM

Yup! It's a "Strap-Line"

Tim Goldman · July 24th, 2006, 12:11 PM

so, canon said what?
Their changing their lens mounts again? thus rendering your old lenses useless?

They bought the rights to betamax, figureing it was better then vhs, so it should be good enough for us?

Or is this just some one thinking they wanna hear about some mystery product, so they put up a post?

Bob Zimmerman · July 24th, 2006, 01:38 PM

no it's going to be HDV but it will also shoot film. Super 8.

Tim Goldman · July 24th, 2006, 01:42 PM

Supersized, but adjustable, 12, 16, 24, 32, and 40 oz.!

Zack Vohaska · July 24th, 2006, 03:37 PM

Variable holder sizes...now I've heard it all. Just as long as I have the option to hold 24oz, I'll be set for life.

It's on my list!

Frank Granovski · July 24th, 2006, 04:49 PM

Will this new Canon GL2 strap also be sold separately? How much will it cost? Will it fit other video cameras including non-Canon models? How about still cameras?

Peter Ferling · July 24th, 2006, 05:39 PM

Requires no external power sources. A hand-crank that is tied to a quartz chrystal to ensure accurate timing. However, the optional 24P chrystal will cost extra.

Bob Zimmerman · July 24th, 2006, 08:35 PM

ok, I just read a website in Japan,,,it was kind of hard to read, but it looked like it said the new GL3 will also be a digital projector. Once you record you can pull some little legs out and turn on the projector switch and watch it. Great idea from Canon. What will Sony do now?

It also comes with a projector screen. Check it out!

Sony will put out a camera that ejects a lazer from the rear to blow the Cannon GL3 to smitherines.

Mark Kubat · July 24th, 2006, 08:58 PM

Egads, oh my!

Has Canon, the mighty Kwanon, at last become the laughing stock?

At last?

Methinks a GL3 AVCHD with 1080 24p and dual XLR's is the only way out of this... quagmire....

???

Hope dies last!

Oh yeah. It needs to retail for US$1,999.99 max.
