5D Mark II

so now that the truth is out on the 1D Mark III. here are my predictions for the 5D replacement:

- still full frame
- will keep 12.8 MP resolution
- 5 FPS
- single DIGIC III processor
- 50 - 6400 ISO (lower noise)
- increased buffer
- anti-dust technology


[fingers crossed]

That actually sounds logical enough

OOOHHHH ISO 6400...dreamy....I would LOVE that!

throw in eye-control focus and you've got a winner!
Seriously, 5d is already a great camera, but I would love to see ECF in a dslr.

That sounds fairly accurate to me...

If it hits 8 fps... Im gonna have an interesting decision to make. <grin>

I doubt you will see 5D hit 5 fps. I believe that 5fps are fast enough for probably 60-75% of the people who purchase the 1D MK XXX version of camera's. We are already seeing people today defecting from the 1D MK II N Camera's to the 5D. Their one main gripe is the FPS on the 5D. If Canon increases the FPS, then I think this would start taking people away from the 1D MK III, even with all of its fantastic upgrades.

Sorry boys, but as far as we have "listen" , and you already know that "the truth is out there"; Canon is not going to introduce any modifaction/news in the 5D line until next year (the FF market is Canon property - for the moment )

I agree with you, no competition, why release anything right now

In order to have a 5D Mark-II with 8FPS, it will need 4 x DiGiC-III working in tandem !

How can you forget WEATHER SEALING?!
The most important thing that the 5D needs without a doubt. It's already a pearler of a camera, but if they gave us weather sealing (and come on Canon, us amateur landscapers DO shoot in the rain!) it would be perfect.

I'm still hopeful a new 5d is coming

My comments:

1. 5fps will needs 2 DIGIC III processors. So it will stay at 3 fps or at most 4 fps.
2. There will be no weather sealing. If there is, people will buy the cheaper 5D instead of the more expensive 1D.

You'd think we'd be happy. Everyone that purchased a 5D or 30D with the 2x rebates still has a latest and greatest toy. Let this be a lesson, buy the gear you need today not what may be tomorrow...

If anything, I'm ticked the flash gun a had to save up for is now being replaced after what seems like only a few months--this twice now my 420EX was replaced with the 430EX a year after I purchased the bugger.

And that all future L's may start to become 82mm zooms. Crackers you thought 77mm B+W filters ate the money from your wallet.

ok, im not saying its coming out this year. but definitely those specs are about right for the next 5D.

doesn't seem worth upgrading for with the loss you'd take on selling a 5d1 and potential msrp of the 5d2.

with all the deep changes the 1d3 made you should be hoping for some of those, light highlight tone priority, flash exposure meter in cam etc
