Jerry, it must be your browser settings or something.
Yes I agree the font size is small, but not that small to be 
unreadable.

Canon Europe 1Ds Press Release - Leaked 9/10/02  
  
Canon Europe celebrates Digital Revolution at Photokina 2002 
  
24/9/2002 
 
 
·  Witness the launch of Canon Imaging Gateway an online digital 
imaging service for consumers

·  Canon takes its large format printers to high street print shops 
to deliver fast, large-scale image reproduction

·  Canon celebrates 15 years of EOS with the launch of the EOS 1Ds - 
the world's highest resolution professional camera 
 
 
 
Cologne, Germany – Canon Europe will use Photokina 2002 as the launch-
pad for its latest innovative digital technologies designed to meet 
the demands of both the consumer imaging and professional print 
markets. 

Forecasting a stunning 70% increase in production of digital still 
cameras, 2002 has already been an historic year for Canon Europe as 
both professionals and consumers fully embrace digital imaging.

Mr Hajime Tsuruoka, Canon Europe's Chief Executive Officer and 
President, said: "Canon Europe is at the forefront of the digital 
revolution and we plan to remain there. Our strengths as an 
organisation lie in our implicit understanding of the digital process 
from start to finish. In addition, we are one of the only electronics 
companies that own and continue to develop innovative technologies 
for both the consumer and professional print markets and many of 
these products will be unveiled at this year's Photokina show, one of 
the most important industry events in the Canon Europe calendar."

Canon Consumer Imaging 

Photokina marks the 15-year anniversary of EOS as a brand. Canon is 
announcing two new EOS models at the show - the world's highest 
resolution Pro-camera, the EOS 1Ds and the EOS 300V, which is 
predicted to become the world's number 1 selling SLR camera.

The EOS-1Ds features the first ever full frame 35mm CMOS sensor with 
11.1 million effective pixels. The EOS-1Ds capture astounding detail 
& colour, almost doubling the resolution ordinarily considered state 
of the art for a digital SLR camera in the world today.*

Also new this year are three digital still cameras, all featuring the 
new high performance DIGital Imaging Core (DIGIC) processor. One of 
the trio, the Digital IXUS v³, is claiming the position as the 
world's smallest 3.2 Megapixel digital camera with optical zoom and 
LCD monitor.* 

Along with the new additions to the camera line up, Canon is 
announcing Canon Imaging Gateway (CIG), a digital imaging web site, 
which Canon Europe sees as the vital missing link in Customer 
Relationship Management (CRM) by creating a one-on-one communication 
channel to consumer users. 

The online solution will allow users to download updates for their 
digital cameras, in much the same way that mobile phone users 
download personalised ring-tones. CIG also offers other services 
online, such as photo albums, photo-printing.

Canon Business Solutions

Canon, recently named one of the world's `Innovation Elite' by 
Reuters Business Insight, will also announce the decision by its 
Business Solutions division to target high-street mini labs with its 
new range of industry-leading, large format printing devices.

On stand at the show, Canon will be demonstrating how large format 
devices, such as the W2200 and W7250, will offer the photographic and 
photo finishing markets innovative solutions to reproduce digital 
images in poster size, with speed and ease.

Accessible, easy to use, large format Canon printers will be 
installed in high street photo labs, a move that the market leaders 
see as a natural progression in the digital revolution. Consumers 
will be able to turn images from a digital camera, CD, floppy disk, 
print or negative into large scale versions of their images within an 
hour, at a considerably lower price than traditional photographic 
enlargements solutions currently on the market.
