$2700 makes sense ($3500 with kit).

I was just privileged to open page #40. So, shall we set up a poll at how much this will add up till the 2nd of March? 

I'll vote for 80.

EOS Bodies / Re: 5dIII = 1ds mkIII THIS IS A GREAT DEAL! P.S. Is 1ds III a goner?

« on: February 25, 2012, 05:10:53 PM »

If you'd be nice enough to link me towards classified adds, or ebay etc. where there are used 1ds's at that price, I'd be thankfull. 1ds mk II goes for 2000 here.

1Ds2 are about 1200 euros here

Nearly every used 1Ds3 on ebay right now is going for about US $5000 or more.   Nobody is going to sell that camera (new or used) for anywhere near the price of a 5dm3 / 5dmx.

I could shoot this camera for a very, very long time, and not worry at all about what comes after.

If only that were true...if you're any of the rest of us who religiously think about the rumor, you'll be worried about what comes after right away. That being said, I'm still shooting with my trusty 5d which I got just as soon after its release as I could.

I have no need for super-zooms, so I'm sure my opinion doesn't matter...but that is a *huge* price jump (about 10x) to go from the 100-400 f/4-5.6 plus a separate 1.4x TC, to get a 200-400 f/4 with TC built in.  How big is the market for that? You gain one stop at the long end of the zoom and have the convenience of a built-in TC, but lose the 100-200mm range and pay 10x the price.

And I have a feeling that this this camera will be a step up compared to the 5D2

Why would you think otherwise? This camera is 75% expensive from the current model and is competing against $3000 d800.

I'm no expert on prices in the past, but it seems like every time a new model has been launched, the price until now has been very close the model it's replacing.  Therefore it's a little strange to have such a big markup this time around.

This is very bad news.  What's going to happen to CR if the 5dmiii is announced? 75% of the board's traffic is going to drop off.

EOS Bodies / Re: Due for a letdown?

« on: February 18, 2012, 05:00:29 PM »

With all these dreamy rumored specs floating around on the 5dx (or whatever it's called). Does anyone else get the feeling that with all the build up and hype, that we are all due for a let down in one way or another.

Aah, the joy of rumors...first the anticipation, then the anticipation for the letdown, then the gleeful purchase, and finally the shooting (which turns out to be a lot like the photography we've always done, but now with a few more features).

+1  I think they would use 2 processors 1 Digic5 and the Digic4 for the AF. 

Auto WB Flash would be AWESOME!  I hate gellin,  If they incorporate radio instead of IR  that would be fantastic especially considering the issues they have had with Pocketwizards.  I use the Radiopoppers and they work great but if I can go without another item to buy/break!  I would change out my 580exIIs.  Oo also give it some power heh.

I agree.  I'm almost as excited about 580 replacements with radio as I am about the 5dm3 or 5dx.

As much as I love my 5d (and Canon for 2x fixing it free of charge even though it's been out of warranty for many years), I'm ready for the upgrade.  So big cheers for the CR3!

« on: February 10, 2012, 03:09:40 PM »

this rumor is taken with a very large grain of salt... 

Man, these sure are thirsty times with all this salt… 

I'm with you ... water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.  All these salty 5dmiii (5dx) rumors are getting tiring.
