EOS Bodies / Re: 5DIII pre-order thread

« on: March 16, 2012, 08:37:26 AM »

March 15th, Just got off the phone with BH. I am #118 in the cue, I ordered about 30 seconds after the pre-order page came up on their site.

Could you provide your order number? I ordered about an hour after it went live so I hope that means I'm somewhat up there...

Would they even need/want a celebrity to endorse a prosumer camera?

If that was a 5d3, wouldn't there be a bigger effort to conceal that entire image instead of having it out in the open?

why should i pay good money to go from 21mp to 22mp. canon must be crazy to think people will do so. maybe new buyer, yes. not me, 800e here i come.

Because 1mp is the only difference between that and the 5d2

No, pictures aren't bad but people want new technology. Everyone has been waiting around for years now and itching for Canon to do something.

Same reaction with Apple products. People want to know what's coming and want it in their hands ASAP. If you don't have the same passion then why are you even on this site? 

I didn't say that it wasn't my passion, that was someone else putting words in my mouth.  I'll say it again, the topic of this thread was in regards to why we haven't seen a press invite yet, I was just throwing a possibility out there based on previous experience.  I'm on this site because I want to know what to expect and DSLR's are my life, but people have been acting like this is a life or death situation.  We've been waiting for a few years, a couple more days isn't going to hurt anyone.

Fair enough. However, with the announcement of the D800, pictures of the 5d3 and especially with a CR3 for an announcement this Friday, you have to expect people to get even more excited and emotional about it, which is exactly what is going on. It's "only" the internet so just let people talk.

But seriously, who are you to say that this isn't a life or death situation?

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III - Body Price At Announcement

I see absolutely no point to upgrade to a 5D3.  Especially for a $1,000+ price increase.  61-point AF system?  Who cares?  Who shoots with multiple points anyway?  Center-point focus and recompose.  That's how any serious photographer shoots anyway.  Do people want their cameras to compose their shots for them too? 

Center-point focus and recompose. For everything. lol

I dont know why everyone is so impatient, are your pictures really suffering that bad right now?
