Life's never boring when you're insane
How do you guys have those photos next to your name an gear lists in your signature? I can't figure out where they keep any of those options.
Anyways, they always said the 5DII would be kept in the lineup as long as supplies lasted, so I guess maybe they just ran out of old bodies to sell?

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Also, gotta say I'm glad to see it go. It was a deservingly popular camera for a long time, but the 5DIII is definitely a huge step up in a lot of ways. Namely image quality.
Then again, now that they're dropping the two anomaly SLRs (5DII and T3 as soon as the B is out), they only have one SLR in the whole range that isn't 18MP. That looks to me like a lack of creativity.

Not a chance. 1Dx, 5DmkIII, 6D pretty much cover everything.
I think the only shoe(s) left for them to drop are the 7D and 60D area . . . and I donna thinka wesa gonna like the price.

Ehm, 5D3 and 6D? that's two if I count correctly? But, on the other hand I do agree that Canon needs more diversity in their lower end bodies. is it 8 or 9 bodies now with 18 mp? 7D, 60D, SL1, 700D, 650D, 600D, 550D, 1DX (yes it is 18mp, hehe)...did I miss anyone?ragmanjin said:

I am fairly certain that there is no image quality improvement at low ISO. Actually, most landscape photographers I talk to think that the mark ii is slightly better than the mark iii in image quality. The most obvious upgrade I see is better performance at high ISO and autofocus.

All good things come to end - with technological products sooner than later.
WIth the 5DM3 and 6D, the 5DM2 is hard sell. So I suspect Canon sold off their remaining inventory and then dropped the camera from its current offerings.

You're right, I forgot about the 6D. Other than that and the 5DIII, though every camera in their lineup is 18MP, whether APS-C or FF, on-chip phase detection or otherwise, etc. All I'm saying is, people hassled them to stop the premature MP race back in the day, but I don't think people meant to say "find one number and stick with it in every camera for 10 years."

All go0d things come to an end, so I guess this is the end for arguably the most popular FF DSLR of all time

The 5d2 is dropped from their USA website, but they still list the Rebel t2i??? (Along with the t3, t3i, t4i, t5i, SL1). Isn't it about time some of those went away?

I saw that, too. Apparently Canon is going to drop the T4i and have the T3i run alongside the T5i (probably just updating the name badge from a "4" to a "5" since that's the only difference between the models. New camera solely to sell their new STM kit lens?). I can't imagine the T2i sticking around for much longer, but they must still have a fair bit of stock if it's still up there.
....I don't see why. Nothing's really changed for stills since. I'd pay $300 less for the same camera sans swivelly-screen.
Oh wait, I did.
T3's probably going to be hanging around for a while, though.

Not quite, as you're only considering resolution. If you've ever played with a RAW file from the 1DX in Lightroom, you'd quickly realize that the resolution doesn't matter at all with that camera.

No, resolution is exactly and specifically what I'm talking about. A "range" of cameras should have a range of resolutions, but Canon seems to think 18MP is the one-size-fits-all resolution. Seasoned photojournalists and complete newbies alike, everyone gets one resolution. Like Henry Ford: "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it's black."
