<strong>*UPDATE 2*

</strong>Hoax, misprint or other. The ISBN resolves to a 5D Mark II book by the same author. <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III/dp/2744094382/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329147648&sr=1-4">5D Mark III</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III/dp/2744094382/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_4">5D Mark II</a> on Amazon France. The 5D3 book is showing up across lots of book selling sites. Could be a placeholder, could be someone having fun.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone that wrote in about it.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>It has also shown up at <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III-Garcia/9782744094385-item.html?ikwid=5d mark iii&ikwsec=Home">Chapters in Canada</a>. <em>(thanks terry)</em></p>
<p><strong>From Amazon France

</strong>A new book dedicated to a 5D Mark III has appeared on the Amazon.fr web site. The release date for the book is March 9, 2012. The book apparently comes from Pearson, which is pretty reputable. The author  has done books for the 60D and 7D as well as others. Books appearing on Amazon before a camera announcement does happen from time to time.</p>
<p><strong>5D Mark III/X Announcement date?</strong>

The last announcement date I received about the next 5D, was March 2, 2012. That’s a Friday, which is unusual, but not unique.</p>
<p>However, there is no date that I am 100% confident of.</p>

Actually, it 'appeared' way back in November, and was discussed in this CR thread.

Re: 5D Mark III Book Shows Up at Amazon France

Let the (latest) frenzy begin... ;D

Hmmm... If this release date is accurate, we'll have the 1DX, 24-70mm f/2.8L II and the 5D replacement all set, putting an end to the majority of the rumors/speculation of the past ~2 years!

Given this book has been listed in the past, sounds like things are starting to move and the date is solidifying

The publication date has not changed, and you can be sure that Canon did not have a firm release date back in October when Thailand was flooding. I think Neuro's original expanation back then makes sense.

Aren't 99% of the dates for these kind of things placeholders?

Usually, I wouldn't read much into this at all.

It is interesting that it's listed as 288 pages, although maybe the last version was 288 as well, I'll have to check. I'm still swimming in Neuro's salt scoop. I'd say it's a fun work distraction at best, publishers do this a lot.

Re: 5D Mark III Book Shows Up at Amazon France

Trade shows gives us only some clue when some new body can be announced (it can happen before or at the show - like those new lenses). Let's repeat shows that will take place in February and at the beginnig of March.

February
+ 16-23: WPPI (full conference) in Las Vegas (USA) - the trade show is February 20-22


March
+ 4-7: Focus on Imaging in Birmingham (UK)
+ 6-10: CeBIT in Hannover (Germany)


So release date of this book is 9th of March, right ? Let's assume it's not some hoax. I doubt that there will be announcement on WPPI (or before) - we would have some more credible specs/more info from different sources now as the show begins in 3 days (or a week if you count show, not conference). I don't think that Canon will hold that info that secure - especialy with all this hype about 5D successor (but I'd like to be wrong :) ).

I will rather bet on CeBIT if you ask me - just my 2 cents to this post.

A release at the WPPI makes sense to me. The 5 series has always been geared towards the wedding and portrait photographers. I think there is something like 20,000 photographers that register for that conference. That's 20k possible sales and most have back-ups. Talk about hitting your target market!

20,000 x $3000 = $60 million

Sure, it's possible that there will be announcement at WPPI. I'm not saying there won't - I just think that if announcement is that close we would have some credible specs list from known/good sources - nothing like that yet. Just my thought - don't smite me for that :)

...as for your counting, 20 000+ photogs (that will attend this show) are not only Canon shooters. But for sure, those wedding & portrait guys are in the market for new 5D :)

Re: 5D Mark III Book Shows Up at Amazon France

As Neuro stated the book was first ""announced" in November with March date.

Given speculation about the name of the next 5D camera I think it just publishers info recycling.
