Pretty sure this guy is a time traveler

Found this little gem while looking for possible shipping dates for the Mk3

This guys almost nailed the announcement date, and ship date for the MK3...... nearly 3 years ago!

Here's a screenshot.

Hmmm... or has amazing connections inside Canon...

So, he said it would be announced on a Saturday??

I don't think there is anything amazing about that, there has never been a new Canon product announced on a Saturday.

Its only a remore coincidence that he was a day off. Given enough monkeys and enough time, eventually, they will type the works of William Shakespear.

Nice, but the really big question is do you think Canon managed to get the ECF system to work?

oh, and what's an ECF system?

Thanks ! First time I saw it referred to as ECF

An announcement date, then a shipping date a bit later? Trawl the internet, find one close, highlight in red.

Chance of getting it close? Small.
Lots of people guessing.
Chance of a few of them being close? Quite high.


Or to be cheekier - his main concept was wrong - he gave that date to be true, *unless* ECF was having problems.
Or has anyone got a 5DMkIII with ECF on order?

I think he failed. Failed to take leap year into consideration. Therefore if you factor in the extra day……yes…...He time traveled.

That's exactly what I was thinking... damn you leap year!!! haha.

It's too bad his user name wasn't "MartyMcFly"

The 5D Mk. IIII will be announced on Wednesday June 3, 2015, plus or minus one day. It will render the 5D3 almost worthless
