EOS Bodies / Re: Canon 5D Mark III - Price Drop Details

Also, please take time to review the article that I linked above.  The relationship between the yen and the usd is not likely to bring a price drop anytime soon. After the initial verified retail price there might not be much dropping.

My 16-35 L II is quite sharp all around on my 5D2.  I wasn't totally thrilled with it on my 7D but love it on the FF. ;-)

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: A dilemma - 7d -> 5d mk ?

« on: March 04, 2012, 03:23:30 PM »

I had the 7D and the 5D2, sold the 7D and ordered the 1D-X.  Bottom line is that I miss the 7D compared to the 5D2 which I am still using.  The 7D focussing speed and accuracy are what I miss the most.  Given the differences it has also helped me to decide to order the 5D3 and sell the 5D2 as soon as one of the new ones arrive...LOL. Most of my work is commercial but my 'own' fun time is landscape , wildlife.  Price wise, if it is something you use to earn money, then bite the bullet and look at the 5D3. Otherwise, waiting is always an option but if you wait for the right moment you might not ever upgrade. Plan, target and acquire when ready. ;-)

It will only be sold at a Canon Pro Partner store.  So you won't be picking it up at Future Shop or Best Buy! ;-)

This disclaimer shows on the USA site and not the Canadian site so I would think this is the delay in the USA issue?
