5d mark IIn ??

It's high time Canon replace the 5DMKII. It's passe by now.

Once a body appears on the sell forum, it's ancient history.

I agree with you about that Trey - in the same way that the American way of writing a date is illogical. We would write today's date, for instance, as 26/2/2010, that is the smallest unit (day) to the biggest (year). The American system is 2/26/2010 which, to me at least, doesn't make much sense.

in software some of us organize the date as year, month, day because it represents the natural order of an increasing integer (0 prefixed to single digits) better for sorting by date

20100226

Largest unit first makes more sense because it provides context (which year are we talking about and what month?). The system that does make sense is what I use for my photos: Year/Month/Day. Organizationally, it is superior.

Americans are smart enough to realize that most dates apply to the current year and can make that assumption, so we move the year to the end... hence Month/Day/Year. You Brits are funny...

I think you misunderstand. I would agree with you that the system you use for your photos makes sense ie from the largest unit to the smallest (although I wasn't really talking just about photo filing). It's logical in the same way that the British system (smallest unit to largest) is logical. What isn't logical is the American system of medium unit followed by small unit followed by large unit. "So we move the year to the end" as we do in the British system of course.

And, of course, when you said that 'You Brits are funny' you forgot to add 'in my opinion'.

It's funny because it's different... and we're Americans.

In my opinion Brits are rarely funny.

(I hope people can sense sarcasm over the internet)

Really the whole date thing is silly anyway. Can't we come up with a calendar and clock system that isn't off by 6 hours per year and requires lots of time zones?

I'm suprised there's not more traffic fatalites considering you all drive on the wrong side of the road

But it's all right if they all drive on the wrong side!

Although it is high time and past time Canon releases a 5D MK II replacement or sister model, my guess is as other members have said it will be awhille before they finally make us happy .

sure, different times of day would simply mean different things in other places.

Wouldn't be too crazy

If there is a 5DMIIn, it will get the new exposure system and maybe the 21 point AF from the 7D. That's all I would expect.

I wouldn't put too much stock on whatever picture was posted, the user is no longer active on Flickr.

Usually pictures on flickr (of that nature) are photoshoped, and not a representation of a actual camera.
