attached to a grip? You sure? You sure it wasn't just the shape of the camera?
Did you get to shoot with it?
im pretty sure it was, sure it had a battery pack on it. it was bigger than my 7d. i havent held a 1D series camera so maybe it was the camera? i dunno.
the availability for the camera and the new 24-70, 24 and 28 lenses (for australia) were;
1Dx and 24-70mm 2.8 II - April
24mm IS and 28mm IS - June
maybe some
5d replacement news as well? pretty vague though. when asked about the new 5d the canon rep replied "i dont know when there will be a new 5D" i was expecting her to say 5dmkiii, so maybe there will be a 'split' of the 5d line.
i wanted to open up the sides panel to see the dual card slots but had very limited time. she (Canon rep) told us not to put a card in. it's very rugged and weather sealed. i glanced over the buttons, button layout has a nice aesthetic look to it. if i recall properly (my memory is fuzzy) its like the 7d's layour a bit, with the button options on the side. it's lighter than what i expected. the woman was there for less than 30 mins, she had a meeting with the national newspaper, most likely going to be interviewed about the camera.
i wont post the pic til tomorrow coz i've got a few more important things to do. i think i have to mms someone, get them to email me the pic so i can download the pic from my ipad and upload it here. my old school literally had no memory didnt have my P&S with me so i had to delete some stuff on my phone to take 1 pic. might have to use PS to brighten up the pic so you can see the "x" properly.
