Announcement Soon [CR3]

[briansquibb]

It will interesting to see if it has:

- increased DR
-1DX type metering to help jpeg shooting

[Lawliet]

sell a 5Dmk2

Sold mine quite a while ago, not that many UWW shots to warrent them just for that reason

[Macadameane]

Been waiting for the mk 3 for a long time.  Hoping for pixel binning 22MP sounds great

[EOBeav]

Looks like I got my 5DmkII just at the right time!   

[RedEye]

I shoot a lot of magazine, beauty and fashion portraits, so I'm really hoping for a large megapixel studio camera to give me lots of detail for cropping. I even wish (though I know it's not going to happen) that Canon could give us a camera with a sensor larger than 35mm Full Frame and yes I would be willing to buy more glass for a camera like that.

Right me too.

"...unsure" if it will be a 5D3 or a 5DX?? Hope that just meant there's no confirmation. IF Canon ends up only  putting out  one model...a 5DX (high MP/low ISO) I guess I'll be buying a chunky D3s or D4...or maybe (BIG maybe at $7k) 1D-X. But if they offer what I'm looking for...guess I'll bite the bullet.

26.4MP, 19pt AF, Digic V, 4.9fps, 63 zone Metering , 1040K LCD, 100% viewfinder

Don't tell me that the Chinese have copied it already!!

More rumored specs. Great. Close to the last rumored specs for the 5D3. I'd  be happier with the other list of rumored specs. Too bad there's no mention of the native ISO range this time.

As for the Chinese "copying"...HAH!! Don't quit your day job Benny...the way things are going the Chinese will be  the new owners of Canon.

If that means the native ISO range will be 100-12,800....terrific...I could live with that.

We hopefully will find out on the 28th.
