No 5D Mark III on Novemeber 3 [CR2]

<< < (3/20) > >>

You know what, this is fine; really it is.  Think about it, several VERY intelligent (not me hehe) people have noted on some of the 'where is it?' threads why it doesn't make sense to rush something out, or why something else would be more appropriate to be released . . . that, and, well it's not personal guys.

So why is it fine? Well, since it pretty much makes sense, it's a lot better than getting all of these bored sociopaths that post their wishlists and e-mail them as rumors.  That sort of thing is getting ALL of us antsy.  (Maybe they've gone back to making up rumors about Apple's next product and are leaving us be for some time).

We're still in a really uncertain place worldwide financially -- companies have to make all the right moves (most of us have a vested interest in Canon continuing to do DSLR business, no?)
Keep in mind, that the hold up on this body could simply be quality adjustments -- yes, everyone wants X or more Y or something else, but if the camera is almost the same thing but just takes much better pictures . . . that's a huge improvement.

Just my opinion, worth the price paid :)

;D EEK, your 'Canadian' seems to be sticking out! :)

frankly, I don't classify the 5DIII as "delayed", since Canon has never promised a timeline that they were supposed to meet with the production and delivery.

I've brought up a few times the fact that I believe that as the technology matures, the refresh-and-release cycle of cameras will slow down.  the same has happened for other tech-industries.  look at gaming, where the Xbox 360 and PS3 are over two years overdue for an update, if you were to follow their original release cycle.  their technology at this point is even vastly inferior to what you can build into a PC gaming rig at this point.  the simple fact of the matter is, however, that these venerable old systems are very good systems still, and for many consumers, they are also good enough.

I believe canon has plenty of room to grow with its top-of-the-line DSLRs but they can afford to take their time doing it.  and please, the "Nikon-is-going-to-dominate-Canon-with-a-D4" line doesn't work until Nikon actually brings out a D4 ... to my knowledge, it looks like Nikon is also taking their sweet time because again, the market can afford to wait.

All I want for xmas is for Canon to service their existing bonehead mistakes and release a firmware update to fix the stupid AGC on my t2i.

armando:
digital rev had the same feeling.

This is why the 5d MKIII is going to be something of an upgrade that we are going to have to just wait out, it has to fill some big shoes of it's predecessor and what we expect, kinda reminds me of how blizzard takes the longest time to make it's games Starcraft / Diablo.

The 5d MKII is a crazy great camera; think the biggest upgrade for me to have is (skipping MP's to be honest)

1.) EVF viewfinder
2.) Bigger flip any direction HD screen
- extra -
XLR input with phantom power & an audio-output to monitor audio while recording (built in)
3.) Slow-Mo Video setting + more Cinema style settings 
4.) Canon Professional Video editing software be nice too bundled in.

Feeling pretty good about that 7D purchase this summer...
