5D3 no longer listed on Canon Canada's web page

[Tugela]

It seems the 5D3 is no longer listed on the current camera list on Canon Canada's web page.

I guess that means that it is discontinued and that a replacement is imminent.

Maybe. What did it mean when the 6D disappeared from the Canon UK website about a year ago (then reappeared a short while later)?

If you scroll down the page a little, it shows up just below the EOS-M. Must just be a glitch with the page display.

Normally the web pages get updated with or shortly after the official announcement. Not before that.

This means, if a camera disappears from it's web presence, it's just a fault - like the mentioned 6D.
Or it is a faulty internal test from the web page programmers for forthcoming announcement.
(but then the new successor will be visible as well and not only the old one disappears)

Occam's razor - the OP didn't actually look carefully. Oh, and Canon Canada still lists the 7D, so I guess that means it's still produced? That, or a little thought on the matter would suggest the Canon Canada web page is a poor guide to what's actually current.

tl;dr – nothing to see here, move along

Let's be realistic.



This means IT'S TIME FOR 5DV RUMORS!

...and a picture of a box! ;D

We're just the poor country cousins up here, Neuro. Big Brother from south of the border may not always keep us up to date. :'(

It does mean that they are fiddling around with the code for that page, if it appears at the bottom in its own section.

When a camera goes "off the page" due to no longer being a sold product, the page is still on the site but is no longer on the main product links. It can still be accessed through the search functions however.

So, it does suggest that change is imminent.

So, what does the presence of the 7D on that page suggest, to you?

That they're not very good at 'fiddling' about with the code ? ;D

Maybe they're saying that as the 5d3 is now so cheap through grey market sellers, that you'd be mad to buy it through official channels.

he 5D M III is on the 2nd page on the US site. I think that they just use a sort order that is different than what some of us expect.

Yet Canon Canada still sells it on their e-store.....
