Canonrumors spotted that invitation for a new Canon product announcement event in Czech Republic. If the rumors we posted many times here are correct than Canon could launch the new mirrorless system on that day. Maybe they want to avoid the press chaos of the September event at Photokina. Anyway, sounds like Panasonic and Samsung got the same idea as Canon an they will also announce new cameras and lenses within the next 1-3 weeks :=)

Its not event in Poland its in Czech republic…
Canon brand itself does have a strong appeal.
However, we do not forget, it uses the CMOS may be the same size and G1X than APS-C, small a size.
And recently listed on the 135 format sensor DSLR, cheaper than ever before, many believe will soon cut prices and began to spread.
When you may regret the original in this system have spent a lot of money.
The release of the 40mm pancake with the new focus mechanism clear indicates that they are investing in APC-C lenses for mirrorless (more specifically, contract-detect AF) bodies. I’d be very surprised if they dont release a product that allows them to leverage their existing lenses and new CD-AF and hybrid AF tech.

Dear friends,
we invite you to presentation of breakthrough novel products from Canon.
……
Await details during next days.
23th?
I think Canon are going to mess it up, like the majority of their products they release that step outside their conventional cameras. They worry too much about canabalising their own products they will severely under spec their mirrorless designs and while it may be a decent camera it will be much less than it could be.
