Canon 5D Mark III / 1D Mark IVn [CR1]

(1/3) > >>

Canon Rumors:
5D Mark III Reports that a few select photographers in Australia have been testing prototypes of the replacement to the 5D Mark II. Australia is used a lot as a testing ground by the sounds of it. Any replacement that comes will definitely arrive in Q4 of 2011 at the earliest. A couple of folks have mentioned that Canon’s recent manufacturing woes could delay some products in 2011. 1D Mark IVn I received another interesting “rumor” that a replacement to the 1D Mark IV may in fact be a model without video and introduced in 2011. There have been a lot off issues in regards to the rights of still photographers being able to shoot video at stadium events. This is the first time I’ve heard such a thing. This is the second time I’ve heard of a 1D Mark IV replacement coming in 2011. 1Ds Mark IV Nothing worth writing about has been brought to my attention. The last I had heard, their was going to be a big departure in the model and we may not see it until 2012. 8-15 f/4L Fisheye, 300 f/2.8L IS II, 400 f/2.8L IS II All three of these lenses are still scheduled to hit the retail market in March. cr

Nnnnnoooooooo......

I have to shoot my brothers wedding the third weekend in September, and I REALLY wanted a 5D MkIII before then.

x-vision:
1D Mark IVn ???.  Naah.
The 1DIV is an 'n' version of the 1DIII, so no 1D Mark IVn.
This rumor is not from a reliable 'source'.

There was a slight chance that a 5DIII could show up in February.
Considering the lack of leaks, this is unlikely at this time.

A 1DV this year and and a 5DIII 6-12 months after is the most likely schedule right now.

I'm planning on buying a 5D3 as soon as it's available.  My brother is having a less formal, outdoor wedding, and the photographers that are in their price range, are mediocre at best.  After checking several out, they asked me to be their photographer instead, which I'm more than happy to do.  I would prefer to have a new camera before the wedding, not after.

If somehow this situation screams messed up priorities; I'm oblivious to it, and would genuinely like to be enlightened.

I actually shot my brothers wedding recently for the same reasons. Turned out fine, and yes, I still got to enjoy it as well.

JLN:
I very much doubt canon would release a camera without video from here on out, it's been a big winner for them and it costs next to nothing to enable.

As for the 5d3, I think canon will continue to drag their feet with this one and wait for the d700 successor.
So if nothing else, hurry up nikon!
