I realize no one knows the answer but what's your best guess as to the Canon 200-400 being released in 2012.

Thanks

It's already 2012 down here in Australia, still no Canon 200-400 though.

My guess would be when the London Olympics start. I figure the 5D3 and 7D2 could also get released by then, but I'm not counting my chickens just yet...

Rod, I will not try to act like I know, but I know you need one and when you get it you will make it sing and dance for you!!
Can't wait to see some results from the 2 of you together!!

Last conversation I had with CPS was its officially only announced as "an intention to build" and at this stage there is not even a working sample made only mock ups, so dont hold your breath.

The 1DX on the other hand has many fully working pre production units out in service at major events already, they had them at the Rugby back in New Zealand quite a while back

It will be a while. Let's see what is announced in Feb, then add another 6-9 months to the planned launch date.

In the meantime, you could always buy a Nikon 200-400 f4.

I looked into that a few years ago when the 1Ds II was the best Canon and there was no FX Nikon yet. At the time one person wanted $5000-7000 for the conversion to EF, not including the 200-400/4 Nikkor.
