5DMK2 just dropped from canon website.

More changes in high end coming soon? Or just that time?

Hope it didn't get damaged.... 

There has been a Canon 5D Mark III for a little time now.

How do you guys have those photos next to your name an gear lists in your signature? I can't figure out where they keep any of those options.
Anyways, they always said the 5DII would be kept in the lineup as long as supplies lasted, so I guess maybe they just ran out of old bodies to sell?

[ragmanjin]

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Also, gotta say I'm glad to see it go. It was a deservingly popular camera for a long time, but the 5DIII is definitely a huge step up in a lot of ways. Namely image quality.
Then again, now that they're dropping the two anomaly SLRs (5DII and T3 as soon as the B is out), they only have one SLR in the whole range that isn't 18MP. That looks to me like a lack of creativity.

Not a chance.  1Dx, 5DmkIII, 6D pretty much cover everything.

I think the only shoe(s) left for them to drop are the 7D and 60D area . . . and I donna thinka wesa gonna like the price.

Ehm, 5D3 and 6D? that's two if I count correctly? But, on the other hand I do agree that Canon needs more diversity in their lower end bodies. is it 8 or 9 bodies now with 18 mp? 7D, 60D, SL1, 700D, 650D, 600D, 550D, 1DX (yes it is 18mp, hehe)...did I miss anyone?

I am fairly certain that there is no image quality improvement at low ISO. Actually, most landscape photographers I talk to think that the mark ii is slightly better than the mark iii in image quality. The most obvious upgrade I see is better performance at high ISO and autofocus.

Nope~ but the 1Dx sensor is quite a bit different then the rest

Canon could have optimized the production line for APS-C 18 MP sensors.  1Dx is FF would run on a different line

All good things come to end - with technological products sooner than later.

WIth the 5DM3 and 6D, the 5DM2 is hard sell.  So I suspect Canon sold off their remaining inventory and then dropped the camera from its current offerings.

You're right, I forgot about the 6D. Other than that and the 5DIII, though every camera in their lineup is 18MP, whether APS-C or FF, on-chip phase detection or otherwise, etc. All I'm saying is, people hassled them to stop the premature MP race back in the day, but I don't think people meant to say "find one number and stick with it in every camera for 10 years."

All go0d things come to an end, so I guess this is the end for arguably the most popular FF DSLR of all time

Nope, still running strong in my hands

Excellent ... nice to know the legendary 5D MK II still running strong.

Well, I wonder what the fall announcements will hold for canonites, or 2014. No need to buy something here, just curious about new sensor tech
