Canon EOS-5D Mk II's full launch leaked? - Page 3

Tee Why · 21st of July 2008 (Mon)

Was just reading Photography Monthly (UK mag) and they seem to be joining in on the rumor mongering as well with their own little article.
They are stating that they were told 16MP with a new sensor with digic III live view.
3 inch LCD, full weather seals like a 1D and a 6fps IIRC.

Who know... Personally, anything over $1000 or 12mp is too much for me anyway. Maybe if used 5D's get cheaper, I'll consider it.

This is reality.

If full weather seals, 6fps, high iso capability and similar stuff is real, I'm so getting one :P

Sounds about just right to me! Now, if the price is right, it's going to be a winner for sure!

I hope they are right, just about exactly what I want and I'll get it if the price is below the $4000 I've set aside for a body upgade.

Yep, if that's true, I'll be getting one for sure. Guaranteed the IQ won't be worse than the current 5D, even @ 16mp.

6FPS? When the current 1Ds only gets 5? And the same weathersealing, you say?
I don't trust your magazine's rumours

Yawn. This is what people have been expecting for over 1 year, the last Aug when we were waiting for the 5D2. Why not add some innovative stuff here.

gpx4 · 22nd of July 2008 (Tue)

Pleaze be patient.

Canon is back on the drawing boards figuring out how to catch up.
Give it another year.

Another year?

At this rate, by then Nikon will have FF bodies with on-board Quad processors.

I can't wait to see what is the real deal to see if I get the 5D mk2 or the 1Ds mk3.

The MK2 should be an in between 1Dmk2 and 1Ds mk3 like more fps than 1Ds mk3 but less than 1D mk3 more pixels than a 1d MK3 but less than a 1Ds mk3 a good combo for general users

pumaknight · 22nd of July 2008 (Tue)

There is no resaon for the new "5d" to be pegged in spec behind the 1ds mk3.

Nikon have shown that this is not such a big requirement between camera bodies with eh mini D3 aka D700.

I can see Canon pushing the new "5D" as far as their technology will allow and then short lifing teh 1ds mk3 next year.

But that is just me and a gut feeling

I would lvoe the new "5D" to have those sort of specs but with a near to 1 AF system as they can.
