No Finalized 5D Mark III Yet [CR2]
Canon Rumors:
A camera for 2012?
Apparently the 5D Mark III is not yet a finalized product and there are still 2 decisions to be made before the product is ready for consumption.
* Split the 5D line into a still camera and an advanced video feature camera.
* A camera between the 5D Mark III and 1D
It was also mentioned the still and video teams within Canon is very much separate and there is no overlap between the two departments. There could be some internal shakeup soon in that regard.
Do not expect a new 1D/1Ds camera to advance video functionality all that much.
February 2012 would be the earliest for an announcement that will address the 5D line.

You mean the 5DIII won't be released before the 1DsIV? Shocking, simply shocking. :P

Does this refer to the dSLR group vs. the camcorder group? Presumably, the dSLR group is concerned with video for that product line.

So, everyone who said, "I'm not getting a 5DII because the 5DIII is coming out soon," keep on waiting. Because as we all know, vaporware cameras take wonderful pictures, don't they?
Peter Canon:
So glad I stopped waiting and got a 7D a month back to take pictures of my new baby.

that will not happen and everyone who is spreading such a rumor has no clue how things at canon work.

What if there never is a 1Ds4 but there is a merged 1D5 (FF 28MP @ 6FPS with internal cropping to APS-H @10FPS, $5500) introduced in about a month, is your prediction right or wrong? And what exactly is a 5D3? Even Canon doesn't seem to know. What if Canon introduces a $3000 FF 16-20MP Lord of Darkness camera simultaneously with the 1D5?
I'm less critical than I may sound but, if you're going to make predictions, please make them with enough detail that we can determine if they're right or wrong.
