NEW 5D RUMOUR !!

I think someone tried that but it didnt get far

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

I'm sure Canon will not notice my Photoshop skillz... anyway, my source within Canon is saying that the next 5D will have the same shape as the old one....

Okay, so Photokina starts on Tues 23rd. Canon will probably make the "big announcement" one week before, so that'll be in 7 days from now. wOOt!

I think this is definitely it! 7 days sounds right to me too

I seriously hope the 21MP, 100% VF, 19 point AF are true because if they are I am in heaven - well I will be when I can afford it next year - but i'll be in heaven just knowing they have given it everything that was on the top of my list. wow!

Eevn if the sony has 24 MP it current 5D lokks like it hads batter IQ (if not resolution) than that so the mk2 should be an absolute stunner in terms of IQ

Thumbs UP!

Those specs sound wonderful, I hope they're true! It will be huge files but the megapixels will be very useful. I'm sure the noise will be low too.

I wonder what the price will be for all that? Do you hear $2500 to $2900?

I've been waiting for this camera a year now!

Pricewise I expect it to come in just under what the first 5D came in at, which was about £2500, so I would guess anywhere between £2000 and 2350

That is dependant of course on the mk2 being aimed at the same market section ( whatever that was)

It will be cheaper than that if they rename it as the 7D (guess £1600) or more expensive if they rename it as the 3D (guess £3000), that's what I suspect anyway..

If they declare it in Sept, we shou;d see it on the shelves in Oct, price battle consistaing of add ons in Oct/Nov, slight price drop for December (Xmas) another price drop late Jan to restart sales, price held for Feb/March money back coupons with bunled lens by April, May another small p[rice drop and that's when I'll buy

I'm gonna buy in December, a few days before Christmas. Off to NY for the hols

Only I've got to hide the packaging somehow.. maybe ship it back to the UK seperately

Oh. And I'll let the early users iron out any problems first as well

I'm not getting involved in another Mk III fiasco. Canon still haven't fixed that one!

yup, that's another good reason to wait , not just for the price to drop but to iron out the problems

Look at you all. So brave and brazen in June, when you know it's months away. But now, the day is nigh, and you're all skitish.

Man up, y'all! I want serial #0000001! YAH!!!!!

GIMME GIMME GIMME THE FIRST ONE!!!!!

If the rumored specs with pro AF, weather sealing, and 100% VF are true, I'll be FIRST IN LINE.

... to wait for the early adopters (otherwise known as beta testers) to find all the bugs.

haha, QFT

It's 7D guys not 5D MK II, It would seem they save the "MK's" for the high end stuff. I'm an avid Canon fan, But gee whiz that Sony A900 Looks tasty.. Real tasty

the a900 sure looks good actually in body IS, better iso-performance than many gives it credit for, good build quality, weatherproofing... The problem is getting rid of my fullframe canon mount lenses (70-200, 85 1.8, 50 1.4, 24 1.4) and getting replacement sony lenses.. (pheeew, expensive :P). My alternative glass is easy, just get a few m42-sony adapters I can re-shim my rokkors and just put adapters on my Zeisses :P
