I have a slightly different perspective:
Yet another disappointment. I feel I say this at every major Companies announcement.
The real advancement of digital photography was IMO around 2005...2010 when cameras with film like quality and moderate prices entered the market: Sufficient DR, realistic color,texture reproduction + usability by good ergonomics, good battery life.
Really knowing that my abilities are much below my equipments abilities despite the fact that is from the above mentioned period ...

An announcement that satisfies the curiosity and desires of the majority of folks in this forum and throughout the site.
I cannot remember when I saw a post/thread "OMG!!!!!!The new GX150 is out!! I have wanted this for SOOOOO long! Thank you Canon!!"

Looking at Canon yes, unfortunately they got stuck in 2010.
Luckily others have brought great innovation since. Namely sony A7 family. Had Canon created the first FF mirrorless system, this forum would have been overjoyed. Well, mabe not everyone here. But most everybody.

For those who wants a compact (the target of this annoucment...) :
- The G5X has no concurrence on his segment (still compact but full ergonomic 1" sensor)
- The G9X is smaller than the RX100 Mark1, so it's the most pocketable 1" sensor with zoom so far.
yeah, thoses are not the Pro M everyone (?) is waiting for, but they bring at least something new to the market.
Saying "Canon is a sinking ship" from an announcement aimed at powershot users and entry level MILC is a sign of quite narrow mind.
ITOH, I fully agree on the frustrating marketing approach of Canon.

I am going to be at Photo Plus Expo and will be there on at least part of Thursday, maybe part of Friday, and on Saturday. I'll take a few photos of people at the Canon booth, the Nikon booth, and the Sony booth and we can see if "mostly everybody will be at the Nikon and Sony booths." I will try to take the photos within a few minutes of one another at a couple of different points in time. This won't be completely scientific, but it might be some indication of turnout. It certainly will represent turnout at the point I take the photos.
By the way, if anyone else from the forum is going to the expo, and would like to meet up at the Canon booth, please let me know.
Cheers,
Vivid

I don't think I understand what this show is meant to introduce, but this is a short list of new models-meh is all I can say to that.
I love canon. I understand marketing hype of specs that we are reading about. It is getting hard however to ignore all the propaganda as well as true innovations going on and not be a little irked by Canon's seeming disregard of the technical innovations that have the potential to really make great improvements in all of the picture elements that we consider important.
I really hope that the 5DIV is announced soon and it has great features and innovative features that make it a worthy upgrade. Barring that, begrudgingly, I will save money with the same hopes for the 1DXII- though it is more camera than I need, and I will truly have to work hard to grow into it, I am ready for an upgrade. I also work very hard for my money, and I don't want to buy years old technology that won't challenge me to be a better photographer.
my 2 cents
