1Ds4 & 5D3 Timetable [CR1]

A new timetable?
Comments from Australia [NL].

• The 5D Mark III will come at least 6 months after the 1Ds replacement. If a 1Ds is announced in April, that would put a 5D3 in the Oct 2011 timeframe. That would be just over 3 years since the 5D Mark II
• The EF-S line of lenses are not high on the list of priorities at Canon.
• “L” lenses and the development of them are whats needed to get the most out of the 18mp crop sensors.
• Australia could expect price drops in April to combat the grey market.

I will note, I have not yet heard from the “2012 for the 1Ds replacement” folks in a while.
