D800 v. 5D3 threads: What should Canon's takeaway be?
docsmith:
Wow...I think I am in agreement with just about every post.... ;D
I doubt Canon will take away much. Unless it begins to affect their sales or the select photographers that they listen too begin to say something.
What I would like Canon to take away is to reduce the read noise to give shadows as clean as the D800 and expand DR. Hopefully that is as simple as improving the analog/digital converter.

well to a lot of canon people around here including me, they probably sell nothing at all for the next 4 years, how's that working for Canon? You can't really pick parents but sure as hell you can pick companies..
i wont be selling my Canon equipment anytime soon and I'm still shooting happily with my 5d2 but i will invest in D800 plus a couple of lenses.

There's nothing revolutionary in the 5D3. It's a very safe, very conservative camera. Having owned one for a couple of weeks, it really does feel almost exactly like owning a 7D with better IQ. There's nothing revolutionary about it. Canon needs to learn to push the envelope and to exceed expectations.

But since it is just an "update" of the 5D series (with LOTS of updates) why does it have to be revolutionary? Why can't it be what it is, a 5D refresh. And wouldn't incorporating the top of the line focusing system into a consumer camera count as a big deal?
The 5D is an incredibly successful sub-brand for Canon, it was & always will be revolutionary. Perhaps they will release a new brand to be revolutionary in a new way.
