*UPDATE* The Next 5D on March 2, 2012 [CR3]

[smithy]

It's already 2 March here in New Zealand... it's a shame I'll have to wait another day for all the other time zones to catch up!

Now we have a 5D Mark III finally, the question here, is will there be a 5D X which get 46 mp in the near future??

Which lens is in the 5D3?

24/105mm f/4 IS

or

24/105mm f/4 IS II

Any details about the new flash yet?

Looks like they've made some much needed ergonomic enhances to the battery grip. The old one was a brick. Better have that multi controller we saw in Africa. If so it's looking like every dream I had for the Mark III is coming true. Well, duel CF would have been nicer but I'll take the CF/SD compo anyday over just one CF. Redundancy is everything.
And people get over the price! If this cam is indeed $3500 for the body only, about $800 more than the MkII, than just save for an extra month or two. We're getting a mini 1DX for half the price and that's a big deal. I'd pay a bit more.

Oz site posted on another thread has an ad up for pre-order MkIII with specs;

61 AF points.

6fps

Price..........$A4200 body only.  Looks like $US3500 might be right.

and the 1dx

Thats gotta be one expensive kit with the 24-70 II

The pentaprism area looks a little fatter than the MkII and more like the 1DX. Hopping that bodes well for the 1DX metering system though I know its hardly a real indication.

I was wondering if they would kit these two together - looks like it. Thanks for posting!

I have enough smites because I am not a 7D fanboy so to invite more for the sake of a sig line is just a distraction that I cant be a***d with.

You could always use "Boycott karma" as your signature. Here, I'll start this.

DANG!!
3500 for BO is a bit out of my budget.... looks like MarkII here I come!
Feel happy for all you guys who will be able to get one!
It has been exciting following this!

I feel exactly and think exactly the same !!!
This one sounds really amazing but for the price of the body I can have 5DmkII + 24-105F/4L + 70-200F/2,8L sooooo ... at that price I don't even doubt which one I'm gonna take !!! And I'll manage something when I'll have to shoot some action (maybe keeping my actual 7D).

Man I caint wait to get one in my hands!
