I've read a few posts noting multiple bodies this year. So, what if the 5D3 (if that is what the OP specifically asked about) is the monster megapixel camera? A lot of people seem to think that spec camera will be due later in the year - and that was then honestly confirmed by the Canon Rep.
And that could mean the spec and rumour we currently have (02 Mar 2012, 22MP, 61pt pro-like AF, $3500, etc) could be the elusive/evasive 3D or 5DX??? May explain product placement too after merging the 1D line.
Maybe I'm dreaming and delirious from following all these threads the last few days & nights. Is it Friday yet......?

I rang up my local, and I said I was interested in an unofficial pre-order of the 5d111
, girl said they were very excited as the Cannon rep was in and was walking out as I was speaking to her. I asked if she could find out about any lens bundles that may be available? She said that she would find out for me & shoot me an email.
An email came which said "It has not been announced"
She was covering her butt, Friday will see the 5Dmk111

How does that encounter on the phone with that sales lady confirm/translate into a March 2nd announcement?

If the OP thought that his information was credible, then he is right to post it (although I agree that he should have protected his source). I've no idea how senior his rep is, but we've heard all this before in the run up to the 1D X announcement. Plenty of CR's followers were asking their pro-reps about the 1D X and were told that it wasn't appearing on the date that Craig's source(s) stated. They were either wrong, or under instruction to obfuscate.

Found on a french forum http://www.eos-numerique.com (from an unknown source called fpy) :
"INVITATION PERSONNELLE ET CONFIDENTIELLE
NE PAS DIFFUSER, NE PAS TRANSMETTRE
A 9h30 vendredi 2 mars"
Google Translation :
"PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL INVITATION
DO NOT RELEASE, DO NOT SEND
At 9:30 am Friday, March 2"

If Canon intends to keep things secret until 2 March, surely their reps would have neither the freedom nor, possibly, the information to confirm anything to dealers before the due date. If I were a Canon rep continually being asked about the 5D3, I would think the best way of calling off the hounds would be to (mis)inform dealers that the 5D3 won't be announced on 2 March, regardless of the truth.
One thing that bugs me about the recent 5D3 pictures, though: would they still have pre-production 5D3s in the field so close to an announcement?
On balance, my money is still on CR being right.

Google translated - the Admin "I confirm that Friday, March 2 Canon will make his announcement of the new 5DMKIII Some features: 22 Million Pixels 6 frames / sec Battery LP-E6 New AF faster Various improvements in the video Price: + / - 3250 €"
FPY's post is post #65 on page 3 I think :
"PERSONAL INVITATION AND CONFIDENTIAL
NOT FOR RELEASE, DO NOT SEND A 9:30 Friday, March 2"
http://www.eos-numerique.com/members/fpy/ (you'd need to sign up to check out his other posts)
Not unlike the 5D Mark II - which saw a raise of prices (but also a change in battery)

I deleted the posts in this thread that named some person that is allegedly with Canon Canada. Naming people can lead to bad things for that person, so I'm going to be on the side of caution.
