New “Kit Lens” for 5D Mark III? [CR1]

(1/6) > >>

Canon Rumors:
5D Mark III Kit Lens Update? Received a tip that the 5D Mark III would get an updated “kit” lens.  Whether or not it’s a direct replacement to the 24-105 f/4L IS is unknown. The likelihood is good that an updated kit lens could appear with the 5D Mark III. If Canon is upping the megapixel amount as much as we think they will, more resolving power is definitely needed. Other Rumors? Nothing of major note to mention at this time. Some small bits are still showing up, but nothing beyond the obvious. If I piece together all I’ve read and been told, there will be 3 full frame cameras coming in 2011. There is nothing concrete about what that 3rd one would be. We know the other 2 (1Ds4 & 5D3). The fabled 3D perhaps? It was pointed out the name “3D” could be confusing from a marketing standpoint. Could you really call something “3D” if it doesn’t actually do 3D? There’s a big trend in the electronics world for 3D and it’s only going to grow exponentially in 2011. I’m still not convinced there’s room for 2 full frame cameras between the 7D and 1D Mark IV. Unless your plan is to merge the 1D line in time. Price Watch Pages The price watch pages here at CR have been fixed. They weren’t updating. Sorry about that. cr

MadButcher:
Indeed 3D, I don't think so.
It will be to large and heavy even with aps-c sensors to have a real 3D camera.

Tjee, 4D won't happen because in japanese and chinese it's unlucky number associated with death.
The pronouncation of the word "four" is almost the same as "death" in those languages.

Maybe a 2D?
p.s.
A picture is 2-dimensional...., so................

That hasn't stopped them from using the number 4 in a product name yet. (T2i/550D/Kiss X4)

or 1D4

Justin:
New kit should be a real 5x zoom like Nikon's latest offering.

24-120 f/4 IS

Done and done.

In other requests, how about  a 24-70 refresh? Haven't asked for that for about 3 days.
