Invitations sent on 27th for an announcement on March 2nd?We'll see.
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.Maybe CR guy is hoping for some kind of miracle?
As of now, everyone is a little confused with the CR3 and yet no press invite.
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.
Frame rates, noise, etc., are nice, but it's all worthless if over half your shots have missed focus.I couldn't have said it better myself.
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.
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.
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.
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.. ThanksEnd of summer.
