EOS Bodies / Re: New 5D Mark III Firmware Before the End of May [CR2]

Maybe it is juat a wish, but is it possible to add the new continuous Movie Servo AF offerred by T4i to 5D3 via a firmware update?

I was thinking exactly the same. Let's hope so... Plus some extra dynamic range and everything is perfect

I can really recommend the 50mm 1.4. It's not very expensive and allows for a nice limited DoF.

EOS Bodies / Re: Why I think the 5D mkIII suits landscape photographers

Were there even any Nikon landscape photographers before when 12MP was considered the "magic number"?

I actually start to wonder whether there are ANY landscape photographers today using Canon given the fact that Canon doesn't have a 36 MP camera today...   Just get out and shoot using this fabulous camera!

Hi guys,

Do you have any ETA for the release of the M3 in Europe, i know it's 22 mars in your country, but in the old world, i really need an ETA ^^

Canon Belgium promised me today that it should be available before the end of this month.

Hell, I just can't believe that 3499$ = 3499€ so I figured some things out :

- with today's rate, 3499$ = 2662,50€
- difference with european pricing is = 836,50€
- three days trip from Paris to NY, including flights and hotel is approximately 700€
- I've never been to NY before, and I could actually SAVE MONEY  if I'd go visit it ... WHO'S IN ??

And, by the way, although it's (maybe, maybe not) a humorous topic, it could help me knowing some things about taxes and toll controls : is it true that if I get there, buy a camera on the first day, and then shoot 1,000 pics of NY, I'll be able to go through the frontiers with a "used" camera Won't they check the date I bought it and say "you're kidding us (US^^) you bought that three days ago !!" .... Thanks for your help / experiences

You could consider to buy it @ Studio 73 in Belgium. I bought mine for €3299 (http://www.studio73.be/canon-eos-5d-mkiii-body). This way it comes with 2 years of guarantee (I guess it's only 1 year in the US). And you should indeed not forget to add sales tax to the US price if you're going to pick it up in NYC.

Why would we do that? it's stated above that in Switzerland it's 2820 euro's...

If you CAN indeed find it for that price in Switerzeland: go for it. But I only found the following price in Switzerland: http://www.fotopro.ch/index.cfm?name=canon-eos-5d-mark-iii&s=tmpnews&nid=349

These pictures were taken with a Canon 500D and the 50mm 1.4

The 50mm 1.4 is sooo much fun in low light conditions!
The 500D is not ideal but that's why I'm waiting for the 5D mark III
