piece of cr*p!
20D, 5D I ... AF .. all over!
For USD 999,- it would have been a lame "FF-Rebel". At USD 2100,- Canon is committing sppuku.
Double homerun for Nikon. D800. ANd even the weak D600 scores big time.
Canon ... go home!
People want a revolutionary product for an amazing price. We live in a day and age where companies like Apple set consumer expectations very high and if a company like Canon isn't completely breaking the mold with every release, they need to turn on the PR machine or create a reality distortion field with their launches.
After i saw 5Dmk3 deeping below $3000... i really wonder if the 5d3 will make it down to $2.5K maybe refurbished canon soon.
with the spec of the 6D i might save a bit more and get the 5d3 now that its around $2800 on ebay. other might say $800 will get you a nice L lens, Im talking about the body here.
I only saw the 5D3 dip below 3K once. That was Beach Camera. Does anyone know if they are legit and did any one actually score one? I see it near 3K every once in a while but those look
grey market or from sketchy ebay sites. I guess my great hope is hat the 6D pushes down the 5D3 by a few hundred dollars. I'm in at 3k. Right now 3.5k looks like a bridge too far. It has to come down no?
Honestly, I thought it was a joke or a scam when I first saw it, I kept on reading it and re-reading it again to find the catch, when I didn't I couldn't help but buy it. That's insane, $750 price drop in 6 months. All I can say is the D800 must be killing them, feel sorry for those who paid the full price just a few weeks ago. At this price, they can move a few thousands in a week.
Do you really think that price drop is because of what you may think is the volume of d800 sales?
Well You can spend an extra $250 and get the real deal (5d mark III) with warranty from a canon authorized dealer.

Show me a reputable and authorized Canon dealer selling unopened USA warranty models below $3400. If its too good to be true then there is something fishy.
If the iPhone 5 is just meant for upgraders then yes, you're right. otherwise, Apple is losing market share and they know it. Hence all the court cases.

Consider this - brand loyalty combined with lenses/accessories already owned play a major role in future body purchase decisions for most consumers. Canon has a much larger market share than Nikon, therefore a much larger pool of potential upgraders. As long as Canon continues to dominate in the true entry level segment (APS-C sensor xxxD models), they'll continue to outcompete Nikon across the board.
Even at the xxxD level Nikon is delivering a more attractive option.
Is a newbie going to go for the camera with the 24MP sensor or the 18MP sensor?
The other way to interpret your comments is that because Canon already has a large installed user base, they are delivering that user base lesser camera because people will keep buying Canon because of old gear.
