Has anyone heard anything about the 5D mkiii recently?
I've heard a couple of things I haven't posted about.
The newest flavour is a split of the 5D line into 2 cameras. Followed by the abolishment of the 1D line.
This has been thrown around for a couple years now. Nothing concrete though.
i have no info behind me, but i seriously doubt this. the 1d and 5d lines are aimed at two entirely different groups. 1d is the traditional full frame pro camera. it makes sense for it to stick around a long time as their flagship models. 5d is a full frame in a small body (no vertical grip) designed for people who just want full frame for the first time, or who want it in a compact body. I would love to see a 5Ds the same was there is an "s" 1D. I would love for this 5ds to have a lower resolution but a higher burst speed. That is my dream camera, a small body full fram than can shoot 8+ fps... I don't need a ton of resolution, especially to help keep price down.
to the point, i highly doubt the two lines will be made into 1
