If there was any doubt as to what kind of product Canon is launching on November 3, it should be gone now. Canon just announced that it has opened a pro technology and support center in Hollywood “to better serve its film and television production clients.”

Speculation surrounding Canon’s November 3 announcement continues to be a big topic of conversation (just what Canon wanted, right?). Canon Rumors received another tip with a couple of vague specs.
The tipster claims a video camera with a Super 35 sensor (roughly APS-C sized), compact flash recording and 3 new lenses announced alongside the camera. While that’s not much to go on, the new lenses makes a lot of sense – particularly in light of my review of Canon’s recent patent application for video-optimized EF lenses that feature an aperture ring.
