According to the picture here: http://detail.zol.com.cn/picture_index_628/index6276988.shtml

26.4 MP
ISO expandable to 102,400
19 point AF system, 3 cross type points
DIGIC 5
4.9 (?) fps continuous shooting

No idea what the source is. Looks like a screengrab of an english/US website.

If that means the native ISO range will be 100-12,800....terrific...I could live with that.

We hopefully will find out on the 28th.

This was listed on that website more than 7 months ago and I believe the source was from http://www.cameragearguide.com/

Yep. Spot on. I found it on that website: http://www.cameragearguide.com/3395/rumor-canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-released-in-may-for-canon-expo-2011-in-shanghai-china-we-doubt-it/

Date: May 2011. PLEASE DISREGARD!!!

I believe most of us were fine with an incremental update until a few months ago. When D800 rumours came out, and the recent rumours about pro AF and metering in the 5DIII/X, I fear we have been hyped beyond recovery.

Anything Canon releases will get a lot of whines unless it matches the best specifications the rumours have pegged it at.

How unfortunate.

As long as it matches the D800 (except the high MP count), I'll be more than happy.

If the 4K body was this close to release then wouldnt it have made sense for Canon to show/tell more about it at the C300 launch? I got the impression that it was still some way away and was included only to counteract RED's release.

I would not be supprized if we see both a high MP and high ISO 5D body annouced(if not released) at the same time, one less big annoucement its true but also a chance to send more people away happy and steal more of Nikon's thunder.

If there is an Canon announcement of a 5D MkII replacement in the next few days it'll be one of the best kept secrets Canon have ever managed! 10 days before the 5D MkII we knew virtually all the specs (despite a fog of wrong rumours) and yet all we seem to have is a very few hazy details.

So either they haven't actually decided which model to manufacture until the D800 reaction is fully considered, or maybe they have decided and this time are keeping it very secret, or alternatively the rumours are just wrong & there won't be a release on the 28th

This is obviously great news! I do wonder just like Flake how come we dont have more solid info on the new camera less then two weeks before its announcement. There is still uncertainty around mkIII versus an "X" version, the psec are fluctuating a bit...very interesting how different that is from the spec of the D800 which were pretty bang on months before its announcements. I guess Canon is doing a good job this time around...

It's interesting that the CR3 status only applies to an announcement of a camera body and not 'what camera body'.

I will not be disappointed with what ever they announce for the simple reason i have 2 5D2's that, apart from the AF niggle, are still more than adequate for my needs.

So if the announcement doesn't appeal to me - Canon won't be getting my money!
