EOS 5D Mark III Replacement Talk [CR2]

[westr70]

personally...my 5DIII's are doing a great job. A 5D4 needs some killer features for me to consider upgrading. Which at the moment, I don't have an obvious need.

+1 Same here.

Mar 2, 2012 would mark the third year of 5D Mark III. It isn't that far fetch that 2015 will be the year of new full frame cameras for the 1, 5 and 6 Series.

I would be very surprise if it does not have built-in WiFi or NFC as the Sony Alpha 7 II & Nikon D750 have these features.

I hope the replacement without AA filter will have these connectivity features.

technically alot of those in 2012 were released after the canon releases - for example the D4 was announced Jan 2012, the D800 and D800E was announced Feb 2012. Not to mention that the D810 and D610 were released because of floundering QA issues with the prior releases.

Canon already had a full frame camera with Wifi - they were actually first out the door with that.

are all canon Full frames up for renewal - yes. I suspect we'll see the 1 series followed by 5 and 6.

I do doubt we'll see wifi / nfc on the 1Dx or the 5d bodies though.
