Canon 5D Mark III Rumors

Glad you looked!

Now there are no official release notifications for this or any of that other sh1t in store anywhere.

However..........


What if there was a release next year! and Yes I'm very well aware of the 7D and all of its upgrades that were released blah blah,but its not an FF

What would you like to see in an MKIII if Canon was working on one ...and why ?

Come on kids....

1. Better AF
2. Output in the new 50mbps MPEG-2 Full HD (4:2:2) standard that they have just adopted for their camcorders
3. Jet Rockets

More FPS and all the rest of the new updates like the 7D and 1D Mark IV have.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

wrong subforum.

lets wait for 1Ds 4 and see what that gives us ... then we can speculate about 5D3

It will cure my OCD and it will make me stop biting my nails. It will have 2160p HD video at any frame rate of your choosing, and it will be 78.3mp. ISO will go up to 204800 but it wont be usable, but ISO 51200 will look cleaner than ISO 400 on the current 1DIV. Also it will have (the then outdated) 7D AF, and will be 4.6 frame per second. However dont count on it being able to AF in dim light or track a subject for sports. After all, its not what this camera was made for

Ok, maybe it's not the time to speculate, but here is my wishlist. Besides the obvious AF that I will not list, and the first point, these should be doable. And it would REALLY enhance my experience.

1. more silent shutter. Probably it's hard to get it as soft as an M9, but boy that would be sweet!
2. get an exposure lock in manual mode. Once you click it, you can adjust the aperture and the shutter speeds changes to match your chosen exposure. And it stays fixed until clicked again to release it. I like to shoot manual. But when I need to go from a portrait to a group shot, I now need to count the clicks in aperture and dial this in when changing the shutter speed. Just plain stupid, I think!
3. A histogram of the true RAW file, not of the embedded JPEG. The white balance trick trows me off for composition based on color. This should have been realized much sooner!
4. A metering that truly measures the raw output. I mean the meter when you look in the viewfinder. It should start blinking when there really is no information left. At this moment, I can get about 5 clicks further than the +2 and still have detail left in that spot. It would be MUCH easier to use spot metering with this feature and do a correct exposure to the right thing.

I think that apart from the first one, these improvements could be cheap to implement. Please!

1. More megapixels
2. Articulating screen
3. Lighter and smaller
4. Better battery life

In addition to AF for MFlenses ,I want bad photo / good photo idiot lights, a pixel strecher, etc ...

maybe a 5D mkIIn, but not a mkIII

I want a (good photo / bad photo) idiot warning indicator with 3 settings: POTN, Public, and Family.

better battery life?

3000 shots last weekend on jpeg

Id love to see a 5d2 with some of the 7D features
Pop up flash with wireless flash command
Better AF
A little faster fps would be nice

having said that I'll settle with a real 5d2

seems they are talking about moving up the date of the 5dmkIII 6 months up. check out canon rumors.

Trade in so I can change my 1 month old MkII
