I hope this is true. I use my M5 several times a day. It is such a handy camera with an acceptable selection of lenses.

My favorite feature is that nothing in the MkIII compels me to upgrade from my MkII. I'd like to thank Canon for saving me $7000.

Well I certainly agree. The other problem has to due with an identical situation with the 400/2.8 Mks II & III. Perhaps the same person making the mistake updating the website twice. What does "the source" have to say about the 400/2.8 III, same identical performance? It is very unusual to...

Go to the the Mk II Overview page and click the red "read more". You should get a sample image and the 3 sets of MTF curves.

I'd be just as surprised that the MTF curves for the Mk II and III are identical (save for the corner point) given the drastic change in optical layout between them. I can't believe it. Perhaps both the Japan and USA figures are wrong. That is infinitely more plausible than the Mk II and III...

I got it from here https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/lenses/ef/super-telephoto/ef-600mm-f-4l-is-iii-usm . I would find it nearly impossible to end up with essentially identical MTF curves (at both apertures) when there is such a large increase in distance between...

Although this is apples to oranges, the MTF curves of this new lens are much improved compared to the EF 50/1.4 II or the first 12mm of the EF 35/1.4. Obviously it is much more difficult to do a full frame 35mm rather than optimizing for a 1.6x crop, but still this strikes me as impressive...

Note sure where you got the MTF plot for the mk II, but this is the plot I downloaded from Canon moments ago. The Mk II appears to be significantly better than the Mk III. And the same goes for the 400 Mk III.

I find Kai's reviews pretty useless, but this one from Dpreview is great. Thanks for posting.

Looking at the page source for the corrupted version, many of the links to stylesheets are blocked by canonrumors.com itself. The offending links are all http, not https, and it is possible that the server is configured to block mixed use of secure and insecure links. There is also at least one...

OK, here is a clue. Compare http://www.canonrumors.com to https://www.canonrumors.com. The latter one is the one with problems. Update: changing the https to http on the (any?) corrupted page seems to fix the problem.

Clicking any of the main navigation links in the left column (Home through Buyer's Guide) takes me to an improperly formatted page (see attachment). Looks like a CSS problem - at least with Safari on my iMac.

Bingo, We have a winner! I like that inline composition and posting never leaves the page. Very nice. BTW, I see I have 16 points. How many do I need to accumulate before I can cash them in for a new 600mm DO?

Well, it is ... different. I think I like the appearance and the layout of the new forum. My biggest issue right now is that clicking on a front page story's (nn Comments) link does not take me directly to the story thread. Instead it takes me to the main index of topics and threads. Now I...

Re: A Bit More About the New \ Cute! No, I do not find the weight of either my 300mm or 500mm to be excessive. I also think it would difficult to improve on their optical performance. Personally, I was hoping for either an update to the 200f2 or the release of the 600DO. I'd like a longer...

Re: A Bit More About the New \ Yawn

I will not be upgrading. V2IS is good enough.

I hope they emerge in one piece. DxO PL (formerly DxO Optics Pro) is SW I use on almost every photo I take. I would hate to find a replacement, because I do not think one exists.

Well for me, it means I deleted my account yesterday. I wish Flickr had remained an independent entity and that Yahoo! (Marissa Mayer) had never bought them. It went downhill from that moment onward.

I also shoot the 500/4 II handheld with the 1.4x and it is right at the limit of what I'd want to handhold for an entire airshow. I'm really hoping the 600 DO comes in at or below that weight. BTW, I do not consider myself strong.
