EOS Bodies / Re: *UPDATE* The Next 5D on March 2, 2012 [CR3]

I think it's almost guaranteed we'll get a new 5D between Feb 28th & March 2nd now that CR is reporting a probable price drop for the 5D2 (starting March 4th):

I guess the March 2nd date makes sense. Someone mentioned that this March marks the 25th anniversary of the first EOS camera (Canon EOS 650).

Also, 3+2 = 5 (Yeah, we're THAT desperate  )

It seems that Nikon D800/D800E will see some delays so less pressure on Canon.

Nikon D800E also delayed?

EOS Bodies / Re: KuaDDro.com says they confirm the rumored 5D successor is called 5D X

« on: February 26, 2012, 12:08:34 AM »

They should have just drop the D and went with the X, then. This way they could reset everything:

X1
X5
X10
X100
X1000

Or something...

I demand that Canon makes the 5DX Mark III as capable as this sensor video-wise 

NHK's new Super Hi-Vision sensor captures 8K at 120fps, fast enough for Usain Bolt?

It's only natural that this would happen.... unless the camera keep on selling for some reason.

Maybe someone would jump on stage and shout "Yo Canon, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish but the Nikon D800E is the best prosumer camera of all time.... OF ALL TIME"   

On a slightly different note:

Nikon: 16 Megapixels is “More Than Enough” for a Camera

That was before the D800 was announced, naturally.

Damned if you do (high MP), damned if you don't (low MP). 

I look fondly back on those days when the DPB was in the spotlight. 

Maybe Canon would decide the number of MP by the number of pages CR generates in the first 24 hours

I guess with a price like that, we are more likely to get a 5DX (or whatever it's called). This way, Canon could justify the big jump in price in the same manner of G1X & G12: it's a totally new camera and not one replacing the 5DII.

What comes next is anyone's guess. Would we get a 5DIII with high MP? Would Canon still produce the 5DII and sell it at sub-$2K? I guess this all depends on how well the new model is received and how many units it sells. It will also be interesting to see how the Nikon D800(E) performs in the market... and who knows what Sony might come up with?

10 days to go! These will be some of the slowest 10 days ever....

Another round of silly logic:

2+8 = 10 = X = 5DX announced

Hmm, the review is all over the place and lacks focus. 

Better leave these reviews to professional sites like DPReview

Fake

Hot shoe is black and no dial lock button 

Also, the III in Mark III is clearly photoshoped! I know because I have seen a couple of these in my days!

I hope the MP monster has better IQ than the 7D aka 18MP crops, that would be disapointing to say the least
hopefully they have refined the tech in recent years to get better sharpness out of them maybe removing the AA filter like the D800E. fingers crossed.

18MP Canon APS-C = 46MP FF (18 x 1.6^2) so we have One (1) entire MP to spare 

AND the sensor technology must have advanced enough in the past 3 years to make the ISO performance a bit better! 

What I find suspicious is the "With a pixel size similar to the power shot G1X" comment in the rumor. Shouldn't it be like the 7D in pixel size?

5DIII for me, if true. 45MP would just eat up my HDD!

Several prototypes of these cameras must exist so there will be lots of contradicting pieces of information.

A silly reason: 5+III = 8 which makes it a natural upgrade path for my 7D

CR10?

You should take a cue from Canon and make the rating CRX 

As an added bonus, X = 10 in Nova Roma
