Canon 5D Mark II – Canon Germany

The “leak” on the Canon Germany web site of the 5D Mark II seems to be more of a publicity stunt than anything of real validity.

Marketing is fun.

Specs that I can read:
16mp
6.5fps
Digic III
Weathersealing

I call BS and we won't know until August/September anyway… :)

tsiphoto rumor

The rumor hounds at DPR got duped by a fake posting by the famous tsiphoto in regards to a new 5D. I didn't post about it because I already stated there'd be no announcement in April. PMA Canada isn't the place for it.

A couple of coming events in the Toronto area.

PMA Canada takes place April 23, 2008 at the International Convention Centre on Dixon Rd. All the big guys will be there. Canon will be displaying the 200 f/2 IS and 800 f/5.6 IS.

Yeah, not too exciting.

The Henry's Photographic & Digital Imaging Show will take place May 2nd, 3rd and 4th at the International Centre on Airport Rd. in Mississauga.

I'll be attending the Henry's event, it should be an awesome sea of people and goodies.
