A high performing camera worth approx $2000 USD isn't much of a giveaway??!!  If you win you can gladly ship it to me then.

+1 and I would add this to my former post concerning recon photography's input: if a 5Diii is announced in October, I guess you won't put your hands on in November anyway...imho. A 5Dii will take the same great pictures even as an "outdated" body. I guess you refer to the tech part. So my old 30D is even more outdated then, but it never ceases to amaze me...while I am waiting for the 5diii dreaming of very clean ISO 12800

canon have a comp where they are giving out a 5d mk 2 in a couple of months so i doubt they would give an out of date camera I think it will be a long time, a 1d replacement should come soon though

A guess only: if a 5Diii would be announced let's say mid October and they'd send out the prices to the winner in early November there might be a possibilty to get an already "replaced body", because the agreement was based on a 5Dii. Canon would not be forced to send out hot and new gear by no means. Don't know too much about these things, but one expects what is being offered initially...at least here in Switzerland...

Agreed - That rumor smells to me as coming from someone playing games with us poor souls longing for the 5D3.  There is no way the 5D3 will be as delayed as end of 2012…

poor souls...nay...while my 30D gently clicks...but curious about high iso abilities and focus system...whenever it may hit the street, I'll let it walk about 18 month into its product cycle reading early adopters reports...meanwhile the price tag will get a bit lower as well ;-)

"We've had another comment (thanks) suggesting that 5D3 development was seriously hampered by the events in Japan earlier this year, and that efforts were concentrated on the 1Ds3 replacement - any 5D3 is unlikely to ship before the end of 2012 at the very earliest. "

Well, then I'd say: big lenses first, big bodies 1D(whatever) first, 5Diii after X-mas? So Canon are ready for the pro to get aquainted with their new gear...

Following last weeks post regarding the speakers at the London Show in October the 5d mkiii seemed the obvious choice for release, with the 1D mkV / 1Ds mk IV next feb

@gary: I am absolutely not aware of the significance of certain people at the London event for October 25-26. But as they claimed, it will be mainly focussed on wedding photography I said: 5Diii. And that's "my baby" ;-) Even though I am not a wedding photographer and far from any pro status...

@rhysgray: I'd go for the non-video 5Diii, would it ever materialize...that's a great point, but rather unlikely IMHO

Cheers and a premature Merry Christmas ;-)

EOS Bodies / Re: @NL: Canon Pro Solution Show in October: Did CRguy's FB post relate to this?

« on: August 22, 2011, 06:05:59 PM »

looking at who is lined up to speak in October suggests that a 5d mkIII may be on the agenda

or as CR guy posted, another one. 1Ds IV. and 5Diii in February?
