All that's needed is a spark sometimes
I received an email in response to the report the November 24, 2009 announcement day had been pushed back until January.
“Yes, it has been delayed until January now, this is the second time this has happened although this time not due to a technical issues but more marketing. If everything goes to plan (which hardly happens to be honest), January will be a killer month for announcements:
1Ds Mark IV together with the new duo of high end lenses. The 70-200 2.8 IS II and of course the 24-70 II IS.”
CR's Take
The lenses I'm not shocked by, they've sort of become the lenses that will always be replaced. I'll be taking a wait and see approach.
However, a 1Ds4 announcement already? I thought the 1D4 was early…. this would be crazy.

I am not surprised of the news 1D and I think that there will also be a new “5D” “sooner than we would have expected” which be like the 7D but fullframe. When the 5d markII went out it was obvious it was an “unfinished” product (I think it was only to sell the remaining all parts in stock).
I agree, I will only buy if it has IS
I have the 14LII, 24LII, 35L and 85L II…wish they all had IS too but Canon seems to have difficulty putting IS in fast primes :( hope they find a way soon as it will increase their usefulness incredibly
If I would wish for anything in my 5d mark II. It would be to have a good focus system like the 7d and an 5fps speed. Having said that, none is critical for my work. I don’t think a 5d mark III will be coming anytime soon.
agreed.
What are you smoking? The A900 is a sweet camera. Have you ever used it? I have, the quality at ISO 100-400 is outstanding, plus you’ve got some of the best glass in the world! I shoot with Canon but you’ve got to give respect where its due.
