Your serving porpoise? I think I'll have the dolphin instead.

Mmm... deep-fried dolphin...

Gotta say, that's one of the funniest misspellings I've ever seen! Knowing Simon it could be on porpoise.

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week.

Personally, I can't wait for the wealth of cheap 5Ds to flood after September.

My 40D will be in the flood, but not my 5D. It will move to backup.

I suspect there will be many 5D / 5D II shooters out there.......

I'm converting my MK1 to IR

We have a price now... About 19000 Yuan... 19 focus points 21mp 5 fps

That is about EUR1900. (same as current 5D price)

Comparing this to the price for the 50D = RMB10500 / EUR1050

And the current list price for the 5D = RMB19500/ EUR1950

If this price is correct, there will be room for another body!

Same price as the A900

Interesting.

Some possibilities then:

- if there will be a 7D it could either mean there will be room for a 5dmk2 at presumably a higher price point i.e. a 1Ds3 without the brick size i.e 5D size - a cut down size 1Ds3, but with 50D sensor technology etc

- or there will be no new 5D at all as they will continue to be the entry point for FF DSLRs and will keep selling well for that reason.

However none of this makes sense if you consider the pricing v label hierarchy, i.e. a 7D should be lower down the scale than a 5D in terms of cost and function, logically therefore either a 5D2 or a 3D should still follow? (i.e. be released very soon)

Watch this space...

Whatever happens, don't start a "NEW 3D RUMOUR !!" thread, Simon!

"presumably" or "prosumerly" higher price point?

Just kidding, I was thinking along the same lines as you say in this post, and my guess is there will be 3D and it will be both a higher-end replacement of 5D + it will replace the 1D3 as well (the long-standing rumour of phasing out 1.3X and replacing it with FF).

I like that look.

So, according to Canon's Marketing department (aka the three bears)

13 mp or less -- not enough (nikon) "THIS ONE IS TOOOOOOO SMALL!"
22 mp or more -- too many (Sony) "THIS ONE IS TOOOOOO BIG!"
13.1 mp to 21.9 mp -- "THIS ONE IS JUUUUUUUST RIGHT!"

I seriously do not want and would not buy a camera that was bigger than the current 5D, so I hope they don't ditch the 5D shape for whatever the next itteration of it is, a different camera by all means but please not on the 5D2
