5d Mark iii price?

[wickidwombat]

If you want it to be a better overall camera than the 5D II in terms of built guilty, shutter life, quality of buttons, weather sealing, Dual cf, better AF, Etc.. then you will also ask for a higher price.

i hope it would be all those and wishing for a 3500-4000$ price range.

Exactly! I just really want a 1D/1Dx build functionality with no integrated battery grip and excessive bulk
keep build the 5Dmk2 and sell them as entry level FF which they are. It's not going to change the fact that 5D mk2 take great pictures just because a new model comes out.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of 5D2 which are not already sold. Therefore I expect that it will be at least 25%-30% higher as the current 5D2 (unfortunately).

I'd like to buy this body, but the maximum cost can be 2300€. That's it. I'm not a pro. Other way, no new body.

Canon has been pushing up prices across the range, but particularly at the high end. They claim that the improvements are worth it, I'm not convinced however. If I wanted the ultimate in image quality and money was no object, I wouldn't be buying any DSLR. It's a weak excuse for something which many people here earn a living from, and there's no way that clients would accept us pushing our prices at the same rate Canon has because of our rising costs.

In the UK the 5D MkII has a list price of £2300 (including our horrendous taxes) on the street it's around £1500 list in the US is $2500, I can't see it being listed for more than £3000 (a psychological point) with street prices comming down to £1800 in time, in the US $3500 will probably be about right

2782$ the D800 in switzerland, and it will still lower (before being available)
so the 5D III should compete with it

I really hope I can afford this, but Im wanting to get good glass too so im thinking its doubtful. If its over £2K gbp then ill have to get a 5dmkii. I just hope a new release doesnt cause a vacuum and push the 5dmkii prices up. Or ill wait to xmas. There seems to be an amazon trend that high end cameras are 15-20% cheaper in their first december of release

P.S if anybody from the U.K is definately buying the new camera regardless of price, please p.m me if ur 5dmkii is in good condition. Id be happy for a used camera for a reasonable price.

On US Canon website price of an old 24-70 I is set to 1399$ and price of 24-70 II - 2299$, 5dmk2 - 2499$. Is it expectable to see 5d3 for less than 3.5-4k$?

How about this:

If Canon releases a camera actually named "5D mark 3", (as opposed to a "successor" named 5DX, 3D or whatever) it will have only a modest increase in Yen....say a 1o% increase over the introduction price of 5D2. However, due to exchange rate changes, the price increase in dollars, euros or pounds will appear much higher.

And of course, for poor bastards like myself who live in a country whose currency has collapsed in recent years, the 5D3 will cost two or three times what the 5D2 cost here originally. So, stop complaining

The 5d mark 2 was retailed at a discount untill a few days ago. Now adorama placed it back up at 2,399. This means the new body will be even higher so they dont need to discount the mark2

I hope the Bank of Japan can do something about the price : , just like 3 days ago... More of the QE BoJ please! If this goes on as projected, than I hope for a intro price under 3000 USD - 2799 eg.
This is meant to be the FF for the folk in the end, not for the pro-s - they'll get their share within the smaller digits (1, 3, plenty of x-es behind etc)

Or if you live in a country like Norway, where the Krone is very strong, but we just REALLY like high prices nonetheless

Interesting post on that "other brand" rumors site. They have a price list that shows the new Nikon D800 cost to dealers at $2,699.96 U.S. and the MSRP at $2,999.95.

I would expect the 5DIII to sell for essentially the same price as the D800. If Canon offers similar pricing margins for their dealers, I wouldn't expect to see much of a discount.

Just took a look at netonnet.no . For the 5d2 price there, you can probably take a flight down to Germany, buy a 5D2 and go back and have some money remaining in the pocket...

Canon typically is able to undercut nikon prices by a couple of hundred dollars due to their lower cost of production. The 5D MK II came in at $200 under the D700, the 60D came in at less than the D7000, the 7D sold for less than the D300S.

The only time I've seen a suggestion that turns this around is Canons estimated price of $6800 for the D1X versus $6000 for the Nikon D4 The actual price is not yet set, so we have to wait. I asked my local dealer 5 days ago, and he only hinted that prices will be competitive and that orders were placed for both models a week before.
