Where did you find this information? CanonRumors.com? Sorry, but the fellow that runs that site really knows nothing about patents, what they mean, or how they are used in commerce. EOS 5D Mark III

You should expect it take a few years off your life. If anything, it should be for entertainment purposes only. Geeze. Yup, yup and yup. [Gear List | Flickr

Only the 70-200f2.8 II exists... And 55-250 X-Pro1 + 18-55 f/2.8-4 OIS + 55-200 f/3.8-4.5 OIS
