I hope they incorporate the 24-70 is on it. It will still be an absolute monster of a lens without it..

ronderick said:As for kit lens, I would imagine a redesign of the 24-105L somewhere down the road. Since the original one was released as the kit for 5D in 2005, it's about time - especially with the recent 24-120 from Nikon). IMHO, the 24-105L is wwwaaaayyyy more versatile than the 24-70L and a more sound candidate for the kit lens.

Yes I use the 7D bulti-in as a wireless controller a lot, have never used it as a direct flash (so far ). However, I've understood that built in flash is a bit of a compromise concerning weatherproofing, so on a more high end camera I rather do without.

Hell, I'd pay $10,000 for a 200-500 f/2.8-4, especially if they could keep the maximum aperture at f/2.8 from 200mm to 350mm. (350mm/2.8 = 500mm/4 = 125mm)

WarStreet said:Therefore, since cameras are finite, how could canon improve the 5DIII without damaging the 1DS series ? Only by merging 1DS with 1D with a price a bit above the 1DIV. They can't force the current 1D pro users to pay much higher prices. It is a possibility that the new merged 1D to be an FF high res camera with 5fps, with 1.3 crop ability reaching 10fps? With this, canon can give the 5DIII a 7D AF without a problem, since it will still be a 4fps camera, without special functionality and durability of the 1D, and the price difference with the new 1D is smaller too. The more we get near the limit of what we need, the more the prices will drop. The 60D is an example, and I feel the new 1Ds/1D will be next. I have doubts about the pricing of the 5DIII.
This is just what I am predicting, but I am 100% sure that I will get the 5DIII

kubelik said:Bob, any idea of how to do a rough calculation to see if that would be possible? I have no idea how these things are formulated but it seems wild that a 2.5x zoom with the same max aperture as a prime would be able to weigh less than the prime?
Bob Howland said:A lot of people seem to think of fixed maximum apertures as some sort of Holy Grail. I think it's very overrated for telephoto lenses.

neuroanatomist said:For those who shoot in Manual mode, a variable aperture is a pain in the butt. If you use an autoexposure mode (Av, Tv), it's much less of an issue. I wouldn't say that it's overrated, though - a fixed aperture telezoom means one that's faster at the long end, meaning more useful in low-light situations, or sharper if you stop down since you're not shooting wide open at the long end.
But, I agree that people don't consider the tradeoffs - for example, would people who complain about the variable aperture of the Canon 100-400mm lens and wish it was a constant f/4 really want it to be 15" long and weigh 8 pounds, not to mention costing several thousand dollars more? I think most people who want that constant aperture want it without having to pay the premium in weight and cost.
