I am wanting to upgrade from my 40d to the 5D. Has anyone heard rumors of canon coming out with a new version of the 5D? It seems like each time I upgrade a new model is just around the corner.
Thanks

Canon released a new version of the 5D more than a year ago. You gotta get out of that cave more often man.

When you say a new version of the 5D, are you referring to an upgrade from the 5D Classic or the 5D Mark II? The Mark II has been out for a while, and the 5D Mark III is rumored for next year I believe.

Don't get the 5D II because the 5D III is just around the corner :cool:

It's a function of finances, I am a hobbits not a pro. I know the advantages and have wanted it for awhile but can now move up!

That's what I was thinking. I figured it was about due, have been buying better lenses lately. I may wait a little to see what happens.

Hobbits live in burrows, not caves.

But seriously, the 5D Mark II has been out more than a year but I would not expect a 5D Mark III in less than another year.

Thanks Jeffrey, I can't spell either! The time in between versions is the big question. Thanks everyone for the info.
