Is there any official info on how much MP each lens can handle?

I'd like to know how much MP the 135L, 35L and 70-200L II can take, without the IQ going downhill.

Invitations sent on 27th for an announcement on March 2nd?
We'll see.

But the rumored announcement date (CR3 rating) is February 27/28.

it still stands at CR3 so I don't know if you're correct. This is a bit time for CRguy and if its been postponed I am sure that he would change the posting that he made on 22 Feb.

As of now, everyone is a little confused with the CR3 and yet no press invite.
Maybe CR guy is hoping for some kind of miracle?

Canon will not release this camera without a propper and enormous press event. Invitations are usually sent out 3 - 5 days ahead.

So..

It is obviously postponed.

One can only hope it is because they want to give it better features to match the D800, but I doubt it..

But if it means they are fixing up specs to face the D800 better, then all for the good.
I'd like to think that too, but I doubt it.

If Canon's announcement were planned for next week or even somewhere in first half of April, it means that the 5D3 design is already sealed and that the cameras are already being made at the factory.

If the D800 really caught Canon off guard, they probably had no time to beef up the 5D3 specs.

I just hope that it didn't catch them off guard..

Bah. I was kinda hoping for a 35 1.4L IS.

And dont tell me that IS is not necessary on a 1.4 lens. IS is always good.

293
I think not.

Latest rumor provided by Northlight Images:

"Although the AF in the 5D2 replacement is based on the same sensor layout as the 1D X, it is a 'simplified' version. The dual card setup of the camera is specifically aimed at video users"

So no pro AF then?.. Nikon D800 gets pro af AND pro weather sealing.

Frame rates, noise, etc., are nice, but it's all worthless if over half your shots have missed focus.

The smartest thing Nikon did with the D800(E) was to use the D4's autofocus system, and I certainly hope that Canon follows suit by using the 1D X's autofocus system (not an impaired version of it) in the 5D2 replacement. If they do, I will be pre-ordering it the first second that it becomes available.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

This is what I have been thinking hundreds of times when 5D2 AF ruined my photos.

It is so annoying when you know that you have done everything right to get the perfect shot, but the camera AF failed you.

22mp FF - yeah i know, that's a bitch isn't it? Not as good as 36mp, i'll give you that. But hang on - at what cost? Maybe Canon have a more rounded offer in the wing?

How many people actually will be able to use 36MP?  If you make huge prints, that will be great, but a 5DII already acquits itself quite well for 20"x30" prints.  For instance, if your required output is for 11"x14" prints, you can happily use SRAW1 on a 5DII.
I don't believe there are lots of people who need 36MP.  Keep in mind there is a difference between "need" and "want" or "would like".  :)
I have to admit I am beginning to wonder if you don't actually need a larger sensor (i.e. MF) to really get the benefit of so many pixels.

Having high MP count is all about the ability to crop your photos. with around 40mp, you can crop like crazy.

I'm going to make a couple of predictions that will probably shock you. 1) 5D3 will be available day one with no pre-order.   2) 5D2 used market will not pick up.
Why do you think the 5D2 will be avalible that fast?.. Just look at the 1D X. Announced in october 2011, still not avalible anywhere. It doesn't even have a release date...

It's just market dynamics. 5D2 hit lowest price point in december, when they needed to clear inventories and granted rebates to sellers. Now Canon will progressively start to phase the camera out of the distribution channels. Since demand is and will be there for a while the prices will increase accordingly. So the idea that soon we will be able to get d2 at discounted price is basically wrong.
And there are MANY people having this idea. I feel sorry for them.

Evil Canon.  :(

Looks like f/2.8 is the NEW f/1.8 for Canon. With higher ISOs being "grainless", f/1.8 lenses may not be necessary for general photography.
Not if you don't like good bokeh.

If it is actually announced by the end of February, when do you think it will be available in the shelf? I mean, really available, not only few copies for the lucky ones.. Thanks
End of summer.  :(

Just look at the 1D X.

Announced in october last year, still not avalible.
