I’m told it’s possible we’ll see an “in development” announcement sometime in 2012 for a large megapixel DSLR from Canon. I have heard both 39mp and 46mp prototype(s) are out in the field.3 D' @$ ~' }8 R$ c5 }% s0 @% |" R) o
( N" t# e! c) T7 |+ UIn development announcements seem to be getting more popular with Canon and their high end products. As we’ve seen from the EOS-1D C and EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4X, it seems to allow them a lot of latitude in testing and helps with public relations. It also stops sites like this speculating on arrival of new products. :)- W3 c3 W+ z5 i4 `" u" s6 I% G

Another suggestion that the Canon EOS 6D will be announced soon. It might be announced on a different day than the PowerShot and Pixma announcements early next week.9 {. E8 f3 I+ h1 }- M. V: Y9 B
