No 5D Mark III on Novemeber 3 [CR2]

Canon Rumors:
Share Oh no! I can hear the collective tears hitting the floor. The recent rebates on the 5D Mark II have nothing to do with an imminent release of an updated camera. They have more to do with selling lots of 5D Mark IIs. I’d expect rebates to be extended right through to Christmas (Dec 25). What is coming? Two new video cameras are coming to us on November 3, 2011. What I think I know about them One will be EF mount, the other will be PL mount. They will be both be higher end cameras, and could reach the price point of $10000+. It has also been suggested that the EF mount camera could fall under the “EOS” banner. Other crazy things I’ve heard about them? One of them would have a square sensor and take 48mp still images. I’ll [CR1] that one. Noooooo, What about the 5D Mark III? There is absolutely nothing, I mean nothing about a 5D Mark III being imminent. I have received the “no new DSLR in 2011″ line from 7-8 different sources. One source said if something is announced in 2011, it would be near the end of December for CES/PMA, but that was merely conjecture. So no 1Ds4, 5D Mark III or the rumoured 6D (name guess) in 2011. A curveball could still come, announcements for products can change. Just because they announce, it doesn’t mean they have to ship anything. cr

I died inside when I saw the thread title. Really.

How many of you have been like this since the start of the year:

"Should I buy mk II or wait for the mk III?"

Well... buy the god damn camera if you need it :)

And with a price tag of 10000 dollars or more for that video cam, it better be shooting native 4:2:2 with 4:4:4 through hdmi and an amazing noise handling, otherwise I sense that Sony will be rubbing their hands :)

Did I mention how great a video cam the FS100 is... well, it is really great, and with an adapter it too will work with EF lenses.

Have fun waiting.

That is about all I can say.

Got to plan a new Christmas present to myself now...

Bother.

Questions:

1. Any word about video-oriented EF lenses also being introduced?

2. How about the EF mount actually being a video-oriented derivative of that mount, which might also appear on new DSLRs?

The blog writeup on LensRentals about the problems with using still lenses for video made a big impression on me.
