The new 5D Mark III ?!?! PICS!

[Studio B]

"MFn" at the shutter suggests AF 7d alike?

Yes the MFn button is to cater for the newer AF system on new bodies like 7D, 1DX and etc.

Does anyone else chuckle a little when they read, “The MFn button”? I do. Like, “Push the MFn button already!”
"What's your MFn problem?”

That's MFn funny!

Looks like the eypiece has the same cover that the series 1 has rather than the adjustable wheel

[jalbfb]

I can see that Canon have included the button on the top of the mode dial to prevent accidental rotation of the mode dial like they have on the 60D.
Great idea.

Can't wait for the full specs.

Good catch.  I did not notice that.  I agree, not often but on occasion that will happen to me.  Come on Friday!

Maybe they designed it for Samuel Jackson. LOL

And what kind of a MFn AF system did they put in this MFn system. I'm MFn sick of all these MFn snakes in the pop-up flash compartment!"

In the 3rd photo, is that a scratch on the viewfinder bulge next to the mode dial, or evidence of image manipulation?

it is just reflection from narrow metal rim around mode dial, not a scratch.

Request to Canon:

Please bring a 5D MkIII to 'Focus on Imaging' in Birmingham (UK) next week.  In fact, please bring several, because I don't want to have to queue for six hours to see one!

Flange focal in Canon is just 44 mm....

For now, I will simply suggest that one day they will do away with that big clunky wheel on top of the camera. . .

They did....it's called a 1Dx.  It does not have a mode dial on top of the camera.

yeah, when I first saw the images, I got confused for a sec!

. . .but now let's see that aspect come to 5D! Why not!? Price!

[Nikon]

Thank you for sharing the pictures, great to know a 5d Mk3 is going to be out soon. I have been saying I will get an FF camera one day for over 6 years. It is time.

So are you going to be able to post a picture from the 5d mk3 or may be post the specs?

[shuttersound]

Did anyone notice tht the dial on the two photos are different (2nd pic and 3rd pic)? maybe im seeing things but one is with a 60D lock and the other photo is with a normal 5D2 lock (looking from the side).
