EOS Bodies / Re: If there's no 5D3 Friday...
« on: February 28, 2012, 05:04:21 PM »
I've been waiting so long I spent the original 5d3 funds on a new roof for the house AND the 8-15L, and still had funds left over —I over saved. I'm back to full again too.

I'll think of you when I'm enjoying my new camera, wait, no, I won't think of you; I'll be to busy with my camera to think of you.

« on: February 25, 2012, 11:24:58 PM »QuotePeople are speculating that $3500 is with kit lens. Users from other forums seem to have evidence.
I'm not sure I've seen any posts about a kit lens, and not sure what lens they would throw in that has enough value to raise to a $3500 price tag. You're not going to put a junk lens in with what has the potential to be a new standard body for many photographers.. That's like the old "putting $29 speakers on a $2000 receiver" analogy. There may be some combo deals out there, or if the price tag with a kit kens is $3500 and its a decent lens, maybe the body is back down in the more reasonable range.

The rumor I saw was $3800 Canadian with kit lens. I don't have the link. Some of the forums have no msg body search and I don't want to spend an hour tracking it down. I spent 5 minutes and couldn't find it again quickly.
Command find on a Mac, or whatever Windows has these days. Or the Google search bar will open the option to search the page in iOS. Might take 10 minutes to search all (as of now) 37 pages.

« on: February 23, 2012, 06:32:01 PM »Canada, yes!Yay. Haha.
I'm exciting, I know that I want a new camera to accompany my 5D Mark 2, and I want to make the "best" possible choice I can. The 1Dx seems great, but the 5D Mark 3 might be the best choice, depending on what it can really do. No rumors, no he said she said. Just facts. I'm excited either way!
Me too, I'm on a 50D so the 5d3 will be an exciting change for me. Add to this I've been waiting for this camera for a long time.

« on: February 23, 2012, 05:23:23 PM ».......I'm so tired of hearing people flip flopping and getting up on their soap box and announcing "Canon loses" or "I'm going to Nikon". How does it REALLY matter?
Hell, the most moving and memorable images burned into the minds of most people on our planet, let's say "Top 100 photos of all time", are most likely ALL film. Taken decades (or longer) ago, on cameras that are laughable compared to ANYTHING we have now. In terms of features, abilities and technology, even usability and reliability. What does that say, truly, about GO.....
Yeah, what s/he said +1

Why not wait for the official announcement from Canon, and not a rumour?

Who cares, why does it bother people so much? I guess I best toss my Grado earphones and buy some Dr. Dre Beats.

« on: February 22, 2012, 10:34:08 PM »It's interesting to me that most things that are technical in nature like computers, monitors, etc... tend to get better every year and the price drops every year for the same features. I don't really understand why cameras don't fall in that realm, it's a shame isn't it?
+1 Top of the line computers have sold for similar price for some time - with added features and performance. Why not cameras too?
If the 5d was released in 1999, what would have been its cost then verses today?

Canon needs to do better to distinguish the market for EF and EF-S lenses and the same for EOS bodies.
Currently, they mix it all up without marketing the advantages of FF or crop properly. If I'm shopping for a Toyota, don't show me a Lexus. It makes the customer feel like they are getting an inferior product.
Very good point. If the aps-c is here to stay the current ef-s line up needs a little work. No fast primes (no primes except the 60, but that does not count). Canon does very little to market the crop vs ff. I know the vast majority of rebel buyers don't care about it , but I think they might be missing some potential sales overall. I have a 50d and I've been waiting for the new 5d for a long time.
Where did CR get this spec list? It's not official so it still can change —it's not from Canon.
Let's make it official and give me my f#*%#ng 5d3!

« on: February 22, 2012, 03:59:38 PM »The $3500 makes sense in terms of features compared to the rest of canon's lineup.
But it makes absolutely no sense compared to D800.
Normally you should expect to get after 3 years of development something better for the same price... With the logic, that the price is okay with extra features EVERYTHING will getting more and more expensive..
My 3 year old televion... 1400,- EUR ... With this logic a new television with tons of more features (LAN, 200hz, 3D) should cost much more... But no! ist less expensive... Same with my car... Paied 15k for it a few years ago.. Now you get a improved model for the same price...
I really cant go with this argument, that after 3 years of development a bit better iso, dual cf/sd and finally a good AF justify the bigger price
Yes, but the price is a RUMOR.

« on: February 22, 2012, 03:23:54 PM »5D2 special - $1999What do you mean by '5D2 special'?
5D2 regular - $2399
5D3 regular - $3500
That seems like a BIG jump.
It was on sale, a.k.a. special price. The 5d2 was $1999 CAD at a time when that converted to less than $1999 USD.
