NO 5dM3 On Friday * CONFIRMED By a canon Rep Today

[ramon123]

Found on a french forum http://www.eos-numerique.com (from an unknown source called fpy) :

"INVITATION PERSONNELLE ET CONFIDENTIELLE
NE PAS DIFFUSER, NE PAS TRANSMETTRE
A 9h30 vendredi 2 mars"


Google Translation :

"PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL INVITATION
DO NOT RELEASE, DO NOT SEND

At 9:30 am Friday, March 2"

If Canon intends to keep things secret until 2 March, surely their reps would have neither the freedom nor, possibly, the information to confirm anything to dealers before the due date. If I were a Canon rep continually being asked about the 5D3, I would think the best way of calling off the hounds would be to (mis)inform dealers that the 5D3 won't be announced on 2 March, regardless of the truth.

One thing that bugs me about the recent 5D3 pictures, though: would they still have pre-production 5D3s in the field so close to an announcement?

On balance, my money is still on CR being right.

according to this video and cr guy , it seems they are pretty confident about the 5D3 release..lets wait 2 more days ..

So there apparently is a "confidential" invitation for something on Friday? Not knowing what the invitation pertains to though.  It seems that a T4i is an unlikely candidate for a confidential invitation.  My guess is the 5D3 is behind this.

Google translated - the Admin "I confirm that Friday, March 2 Canon will make his announcement of the new 5DMKIII Some features: 22 Million Pixels 6 frames / sec Battery LP-E6 New AF faster Various improvements in the video Price: + / - 3250 €"

FPY's post is post #65 on page 3 I think :
"PERSONAL INVITATION AND CONFIDENTIAL
NOT FOR RELEASE, DO NOT SEND A 9:30 Friday, March 2"

Not unlike the 5D Mark II - which saw a raise of prices (but also a change in battery)

I deleted the posts in this thread that named some person that is allegedly with Canon Canada. Naming people can lead to bad things for that person, so I'm going to be on the side of caution.

from the website -
"..I believe their will be a special feature of this camera that has the potential to change our industry.." 

i think it might be a video related feature...

would it be 4K? I'm so excited!!

Im gonna have to destroy something if the special feature is about video.

F*ck video.

No offence..

exactly..i dont need video..i never used the video function in my 7D in 2 years...if they split 5D to video and still and reduce the price ..it would be great .

I'm only here for the Video!

I'm only here for the Video! 

Haha.. I do both!

As pointed out in many other threads, why would having video stop anyone from getting great stills?
If the argument is based on additional cost (price) then ok point taken - if it really makes THAT much of a difference.

[ramon123]

The 5D Mark III is going to be amazing/great in both still and video - both markets will be satiated.

[bycostello]

irs getting like a game of knock down ginger! 

[Macadameane]

Its not likely that Canon will wait a whole 2 months to release the 5d III.  The D800 is competition and canon needs to compete.

I want it to be a different color. black is so boring and so 1990. Metallic Red or Orange anyone?

yeah so the police in london can spot DSLR terrorists easyer.....
