The new 5D Mark III ?!?! PICS!

[waving_odd]

Great find! I guess this debunks the "confirmation" on kuaDDro.com that it would be called the 5D X. How reliable is that site, typically? I hadn't heard of them before seeing them referred to on the forums here recently.

Never thought the 5D X name was likely. Glad to see it's called the Mk III.

I was 90% sure it was going to be 5D Mark III, but I wasn't saying anything until it was 100%.

I do apologize for posting kuaDDro's "rumor." I just thought Digicame-info has higher reliability and its post regarding this kuaDDro's lame 5DX confirmation might be sort of reliable too. My bad.

I believe he's in Dubai where it is currently 2:45am. He said he had a shoot in the morning so I doubt we'll hear back from him anytime soon. If he only knew what's been going on while he sleeps. LOL

If only. LOL

I.E. a highly trained black ops extraction team flying in from Canon HQ tonight to disappear him and his lucky (while it lasted) friend early next morning.

"MFn" at the shutter suggests AF 7d alike?

Yes the MFn button is to cater for the newer AF system on new bodies like 7D, 1DX and etc.

Does anyone else chuckle a little when they read, “The MFn button”? I do. Like, “Push the MFn button already!”
"What's your MFn problem?”

That's MFn funny!

Looks like the eypiece has the same cover that the series 1 has rather than the adjustable wheel

I can see that Canon have included the button on the top of the mode dial to prevent accidental rotation of the mode dial like they have on the 60D.
Great idea.

Can't wait for the full specs.

Good catch. I did not notice that. I agree, not often but on occasion that will happen to me. Come on Friday!

Maybe they designed it for Samuel Jackson. LOL

And what kind of a MFn AF system did they put in this MFn system. I'm MFn sick of all these MFn snakes in the pop-up flash compartment!"

In the 3rd photo, is that a scratch on the viewfinder bulge next to the mode dial, or evidence of image manipulation?

it is just reflection from narrow metal rim around mode dial, not a scratch.

Request to Canon:

Please bring a 5D MkIII to 'Focus on Imaging' in Birmingham (UK) next week. In fact, please bring several, because I don't want to have to queue for six hours to see one!

Flange focal in Canon is just 44 mm....

For now, I will simply suggest that one day they will do away with that big clunky wheel on top of the camera. . .

They did....it's called a 1Dx. It does not have a mode dial on top of the camera.

yeah, when I first saw the images, I got confused for a sec!

. . .but now let's see that aspect come to 5D! Why not!? Price!

 

[Nikon]

Thank you for sharing the pictures, great to know a 5d Mk3 is going to be out soon. I have been saying I will get an FF camera one day for over 6 years. It is time.

So are you going to be able to post a picture from the 5d mk3 or may be post the specs?

 

[shuttersound]

Did anyone notice tht the dial on the two photos are different (2nd pic and 3rd pic)? maybe im seeing things but one is with a 60D lock and the other photo is with a normal 5D2 lock (looking from the side).

Which 2 photos were you referring to? Of the 3 photos leaked, only one showed the mode dial lock. If you compare it to the Kenya photo, it's the same - with lock.

 

[simon_gledhill2000]

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but dof preview button? Are we possibly getting customisable buttons on the other side of the lens mount 1dx style?

Simon

Some have mentioned that it might be on the other side of the lens nearer to where your right hand is on the grip-similar to the 7D.

From memory the button on the 7D is the same as 5D, xxD, etc - isn't it the 1 series that have it by the right hand?

2nd and 3rd pic from the 3 leaked photos. (compare it from the side view)
