Its not likely that Canon will wait a whole 2 months to release the 5d III. The D800 is competition and canon needs to compete.

Thanks for sharing but, until I see the actual Canon announcement (or lack there of), I really don't think anyone outside Canon actually knows anything for sure. And I'm not an expert or in a position to know but, I know a little bit about marketing.ksieb said:
I think Canon would be shooting themselves in the proverbial foot (AGAIN) if they allowed so much hype to build up only to release another Rebels. If I didn't know better, I'd swear there were four or five Canon Rebels released last year but, I know for sure there were two and neither was all that. I just don't think they really need to release another one given the T3i and T3 models they introduced just over a year ago when they have yet to introduce a new pro model other than the 1D X.
Keep in mind that in that same time period, Nikon has introduced the D4 and D800/D800E models with rumors swirling that they'll replace the D300s as well. So basically, Nikon may end up with three all new, pro level bodies out that match or exceed anything Canon has put out since 2007. There is a reason for the large shift toward Nikon and at the top of the list is apparently ignoring the market. I don't know who Canon has used for their test group and leadership these last few years but, they need to execute them and pick a new group and new leaders if they don't get this next camera right or waste more time putting out cameras for soccer moms rather than pros.

I don't have the best memory, but late in 2005 I remember the 5d coming in at $3299 body only. And the 5Dii was announced in the $2699 range, it dropped in price and was a huge improvement in IQ. I hope Canon can continue to deliver good value.

I am pretty certain it is coming Friday... If indeed this scenario occurred you describe, he didn't have the facts, likely... Though, probably the T$i will be announced soon, too...

If Canon reps knew this kind of information, we'd have every detail of every release about 3 minutes after the reps. There are a lot of reps out there, and it's just a law of human nature. You can't tell that many people and keep it this under wraps. He could be lucky or have a good guess, but I can almost guarantee you he doesn't know the details.

I wouldn't take this seriously at all, the reps are the type of people that think the information will just come to them first. They aren't actively seeking it or hunting around for it, just waiting. I'm sure he'll find out when we do.
As for the T4i being the new camera, it seems kinda crazy to think that Canon would release a true consumer camera on the 25th anniversary of EOS. You would think they would want an epic product for an epic milestone. Plus, we've gotten the T2i, T3i, 7D, and 60D since the 5DII came out, we're due for a new 5D and everyone knows it, even Canon. And last, we have pictures of the damn thing in the wild. That being said, I can't imagine that we're far away, even if March 2nd did end up being the wrong date.

I mentioned the T4i last week, it'll come with a new 18-135 with a silent AF motor. Other than that, no one is talking about it. I think the world is focused on the more sought after 5D3.

I don't think they'd be building that massive stage in Shanghai just to announce B-list product. We're gonna see 5D something.

Yes you did.... but in the Buzz of the 5D... it really got lost. I see the effects of it... the t2i is now $399 in some stores... thats a steal for a 7D class sensor.
