Canon sure knows how to announce crap

I was perusing footage from the announcement event for the upcoming Canon EOS 7D Jesus Camera and saw this rather interesting video: www.vimeo.com/6460779

I'm sorry but why don't we get this every time there's a new iPod model? Step it up, Apple!

Is it sad to admit that I'm more interested in the quality of the footage instead of the ladies dancing? I'm such a nerd.

But giving a 7D to film-makers to make a promotional video yields amazing results: vimeo.com/6487566 No post-processing on that. Amazing stuff.

This marketing campaign is so unbelievably relevant to the product at hand, it's crazy.

Its because Steve Jobs heart couldn't take it. Also apple has had 20 ipods come out in the last 8 years. but i do see your point , i mean i see it , it is very round and supple

I have no idea what relevance the dancers have to the camera, and I really don't care. They don't make want to buy the camera - but they do make me want to watch the video again. click

Lol, take it from someone who was a little insight... this is just Korean marketing. You should see what happens in Seoul every time Samsung releases a new phone.

Like for example the LG lollipop phone
www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lollipop+phone&search_type=\
They took TWO pop bands, and combined the to make this

And don't forget the 9 minute music video Samsung created to promote the Anycall. They even assemble 4 of the hottest and or most talented stars in South Korea to create the Anyband.

In reply to Ramrider, #27: I believe they were filmed with the camera... hence... an example of what it can do?
