Hey guys, I just made a video and a blog post detailing my thoughts on what the successor to the 5D Mark II is going to look like. I'd really appreciate it if you took the time to look at the post and watch the video. Thanks!

It's going to look like a big black box, with a smaller black box fitted snugly to its open end that you slide around for focusing.

My guess is that it will have the generic look of just about most other Canon DSLR cameras. Not much excitement there unless a couple of moved buttons makes you jump through the roof.

I hear it's going to have an awesome button. Of course, I have also been told it will have a gps guided beer locator too.

It will look almost differently the same as the 5DII isn't.



7D, 450D | 17-55, 10-22, 55-250, 50 1.8, 580EXII | YN568II | YN622 x3 | Magic Lantern | (Still) Jonesing for a 70-200 2.8...
Turns out a gripped 7D + 622 + 580exII + 70-200 2.8 IS MK2 is BLOODY HEAVY! Who knew?!!

Glue a Pez dispenser to the 5Dii n and you have the look of the 5Diii. Canon has been listening to their customers, the customers want candy.

Somehow it's hard to take seriously a video that is done in a bedroom:)

The Internet is filled with people that think they know what is best for Canon. In their own little world they are absolutely correct but Canon has to appease the masses and not everyone is going to come out happy. Of course they do listen to their customers but it tends to be more in the area of the pros that work their cameras hard and take the time to let them know what they need.

I will continue to wait for the next 1 series body as I don't see the prosumer bodies standing up to hard continued use.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

You lost me when you wrote that it will have an AF system WORSE than the 7D. I have no idea how anyone could come to that conclusion.
