A Very Detailed 1D Mark V Spec List [CR1]

[dilbert]

I think that anybody who reads these kind of forums could have made up these specs... 

Actually, most of our readers could do better 

Question is, why would any of the readers come up with 9.1fps or 120fps video?

Or present them in that fashion?

There are nuances with the information, its presentation and timing that suggest that it isn't a work of fiction to me.

Format looks consistent with something like, oh, I dunno, doing a  copy of the information from a page like the dpreview spec list page using the mouse.

Where is said list?  That's the big weakness in this theory.

[te4o]

Sounds like the typical incremental top up of the previous 1-generation with more emphasis on fast fps video - not illogical from business point-of-view. May be this is not a 1D-series spec but a 2,3,4 or whatever D (the weight factor precludes a 5)
Don't expect your 2011 wishes to be fulfilled in 2011/12, guys. Let's leave some dreams for our kids as well.

LOL ... exactly...   "There are nuances with the information" ... best response yet!

I wondered why anyone would waste their time making up rumors. With the way some people swallow it up, it's better entertainment than the comedy on TV.

Q. What's worse than someone who wasted a serious amount of time coming up with a fabricated 1D spec. list?

A. The people on this forum that over analyzed it, and wasted far more time than the original perpetrator.

So I suppose if it is a hoax, he got his intended reaction.

A. The people who sell their equipment, expecting it's price to fall when the new equipment is actually announced.

The people who sell their equipment, expecting it's price to fall when the new equipment is actually announced.

How about all those people who sold their 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS lenses in anticipation of the MkII version of that lens, only to kick themselves when used prices went UP by a couple hundred dollars once the new version was released?

[Mt Spokane Photography]

Same thing happened with the 5D MK I, the bottom dropped out of prices for a few months before the 5D MK II and then they recovered.

I mean seriously, apart from the psychological impact, what differences would $200 have made?

Well, $200 more in my pocket could be a PocketWizard radio, a CPL filter, a Pelican hard case, LR3, or 40 grande mochas at Starbucks...
