Why do I get no match for a whois search on canon5d.com on the internic website?

Wow I love the specs. I'd trade in my 20D for one of these in a heartbeat *if* it has a quiet shutter. Weather sealing would be nice too.

I was wondering the same thing after doing a whois from the command line. Internic's DB must not be updated yet, which makes sense since the 5D rumor only started today.

Dell has mine back ordered but I got it at 70% off due to their pricing error and stacking coupons.

My sources also tell of unconfirmed issues with 5D test users being abducted by aliens

... or maybe I've just watched X-Files too much (watching an episode just now...)

I still don't get the "invisible" focus points... I mean, I had a D30 and the lack of "red" confirmation killed me. However, I guess with a 96% coverage and 0.71x (ie about the same viewfinder size as the Eos 3), it's going to be a little easier to see what's going on.

Like I said, I'll pay $3k (when I'm done school) not to have to convert focal lengths for the wife and to be able to put back on the 85L on this bad boy for some sick backgrounds.

hehe. I have my pre-ordered 5D in the buy and sell now that I've read the spec of the 3D rumours and it does 5fps, the old 5D now feels so slow

shlotkins:

it might be for the servo AF to increase it's ability to "hand off" to the other focusing points.

Let's see.... Specs say full-frame, but the image shows an EF-S lens mounted on it? This screams fake to me.

--oops. was looking at the 20D image... damn they look too similar.

Looks real to me, and makes a lot of sense as well. It's like a 1D series body with the vertical grip chopped off, and then transformed into a BEEFY, (and juicy) 20D body.

People keep saying that this camera is an "upgrade" to whatever camera, but it's really not. This is a whole new line. It can replace your old 1Ds, but they're still two totally different cameras. The 1Ds2 is still a more appropriate upgrade to the 1Ds.

This "5D" looks really awesome though. The 3fps doesn't bother me, since I hardly use the 5fps I have on the 20D. I'm guessing when the 1Ds series becomes a 22mp camera, we'll have a 3D, with the same body, except 45 AF points, more FPS, and 16megapixels.

What I don't like is that it has a crappy 9 AF points on a 3 or 4k camera. WTF?

With this new full frame camera, a whole new price point of photographers will be able to experience Canon's mediocre wide angle lens performance.

While this (if real) may not be the perfect camera for every purpose, it looks excellent for most serious amateur work + pro weddings, also studio and landscape if not quite top end of the market. It could also be used for sports and PJ work, if not ideal at 3 fps. It seems to have a decent size of buffer, which matters more than absolute frame rate. Recall that most of the great PJ photographers of the past used hand-wound Leicas at 2 fps or less. If it's real, I want one!

Canon WAs aren't too bad except on test charts IMHO.

Consumer super-zooms are pretty good too if you ignore their faults.
