The page shows a silhouette of a camera with the words ‘Destined Evolution.’ It looks like it will be updated to include more detail in the future…

It’s almost as if the company is building up to the launch of a camera to replace one of its older models. I have no specific information, but everyone predicts an EOS 5D replacement is coming…
