shotbytom: 400D is the correct/original name from Japan i say, it just happen they put a different tag on when they come to the North America. goto dpreview.com, it will give u a bit more detail

Guaranteed the 5D III will keep the same ISO performance of the 5D II (or maybe half a stop better) and bump the MP to 32mp or thereabouts.

The buttons will be different (think video buttons on the 7D/60D/550D), AF MIGHT be a new module, but nothing like the 7D.

Nothing but another incremental upgrade. That's Canon.

Probably be the 60d's 9 point cross type. Lame.

Just my wild guess here to add to the others.

I see the 7D as the sports shooter speedster and the 5d mkIII as the portrait/landscape togs body.

If this agrees with Canon's thoughts then we should see the 5DmkIII being set up for those types of duties thus the feature set should be complementary to that type of work.

No more than 5 FPS, We MAY see the 19 point AF of the 7D and I think we should as a people tog likes to place the subject all over the frame.
100% VF
Better weather sealing, at least as good as the 7D. I think it should be better.
5 frame HDR shooting fully programmable as to EV adjustments thus the 5 FPS need this for landscapes.
A dedicated video button like the 7D.
Also let's take this one a notch above the 7D and make the buttons FULLY programmable.
How about a Histogram tied to the RAW file and the review image auto zoomed on the focus point at 5 or 10 times mag, my choice?
Better live view auto focus too.
Clean up the banding noise and how about true 14 bit dynamic range?

That should do for this go round. DO NOT take any performance away from the mkIII that already exists in the mkII. WE want true forward movement. Not two steps forward and one step back.

Price? A few hundred $'s less than the 5DmkII. If they can do what they did with the 7D they surely can do it for the 5DmkIII.

I am looking for a FF small body brother for my 7D. If Canon wants to fool around I will wait and they will have to wait also for my $$$. As nice as the 5DmkII's images can be I will never own one due to the poor AF choice Canon made. Rock steady AF in reasonable light is a must not an option. The 7D does well here and so should the 5DmkIII.

That's all I have to say about that.


7D, 20D, G10, T90, A-1, Canon 17-40L, Canon 70-200 2.8 IS L, Canon 100-400L, Canon 500D, 2 ea Canon 580 ex, Canon ST-E2, Velbon El Carmagne 630 Carbon fiber tripod with an Acratech Ultimate Ballhead, Acratech Leveling Base, Velbon Carbon Fiber SHERPA PRO POD NEO POD 8, Tons of RRS plates and quick release mounts, and flash stands diffusors and back drops, ETC...

Sure...that's the correct name if you're in Japan! That's the point of my post...he was in Arizona, so was he selling a 400D with no warranty in the US or an American Rebel version of the same camera??

As far a soda..I mean pop..I always order a coke...I don't care if it's pepsi or coke....same-same....but I draw the line at Rebel/400D!!

If the 5D III comes with the same AF as the 5D C/5D II, I won't even bother.:rolleyes:

I hope for the 7D AF system and a reasonable price tag!

The Nikon guy might say "I just hope that they upgrade their video recording and resolution...since Canon is way ahead on that"

I never use AF ever so if and when a 5DIII becomes reality I will most likely upgrade.
