shirozina Offline Image Upload: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? I was filling in a bug/feedback report on my Capture One beta 4 and in the pulldown menu to enter he camera there it is ! Nov 18, 2007 at 01:48 PM

Tentacle Offline Image Upload: Off Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? Can you post a screenshot of that? (Not that those can't be faked, mind you...) Nov 18, 2007 at 02:38 PM

StevenPA Offline Buy and Sell: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? I don't think shirozina would lie about something like this. Unless you're looking for something else in the screenshot? Nov 18, 2007 at 02:44 PM

I'd like to be able to point users from another forum, who have no idea whatsoever as to the credibility of any user here, to the screenshot. Nov 18, 2007 at 02:54 PM

Probably the best way to secure a perfect result (so's you know he's not mucking with the screenshot, as you alluded to above) would be to fill out the Capture one beta 4 feedback report.

shirozina Offline Image Upload: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? Even better than a screenshot - here is the link; http://www.phaseone.com/feedback/customerfeedback2.asp?Product=Capture%20One&Platform=PC&Version=4.0.12289.12266b&ComputerModel=Intel(R)%20Pentium(R)%20M%20processor%202.26GHz%20(1%20CPU)%20142MB%20free%20of%202047MB%20total&OS=Microsoft%20Windows%20NT%205.1.2600%20Service%20Pack%202 Nov 18, 2007 at 03:02 PM

Which, as far as I could learn from the Phase One website, is done through an URL that's launched from within the Capture One beta 4 software itself. Which I haven't installed. To do so would have been an option of course, but the issue is taken care of. Thank you. Nov 18, 2007 at 03:05 PM

lexvo Offline Image Upload: Off Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? So now the speculations can start Nov 18, 2007 at 03:17 PM

sjms Offline Buy and Sell: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? what speculation it was a forgone conclusion. PMA in january? new toy announcement. gotta have something to give them. Nov 18, 2007 at 03:20 PM

shirozina Offline Image Upload: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? At least we now know the name - could have been 6D, 5Ds etc Nov 18, 2007 at 03:45 PM

Tentacle Offline Image Upload: Off Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? And it makes it highly likely that there are pre-production bodies out in the wild. Which in turn further solidifies the PMA08 introduction speculation. Nov 18, 2007 at 03:49 PM

mfurman Offline Buy and Sell: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? Thank you for the link. Very interesting. Nov 18, 2007 at 03:55 PM

The Capture one site is truly making reference to a 5DmkII. Imo, this was a good way to get a free advertisement, and it worked perfectly... Nov 18, 2007 at 04:06 PM

shirozina Offline Image Upload: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? Free advertisement? - Bingo? - I'm not sure what you 2 infering. Nov 18, 2007 at 04:44 PM

Tentacle Offline Image Upload: Off Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? shirozina wrote: Free advertisement? - Bingo? - I'm not sure what you 2 infering. They are referring to viral marketing / viral advertising. A very valid point, I have to admit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_marketing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_marketing This new nugget of information spreads like the proverbial wildfire on various photography boards and presto, both PhaseOne and Canon will get free PR as result of it.

shirozina Offline Image Upload: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? I can assure everyone that I have no connection with either corporation other than as a customer/end user of their products. But then if I was planting a 'viral' ad I would deny it wouldn't I. But there would be no point not denying it either as by now it's probably doing the rounds on photo sites all over the net. Maybe Canon and Phase One should pay me for doing their PR - I'd better send them an invoice! Nov 18, 2007 at 05:33 PM

PMA in january? new toy announcement. gotta have something to give them. I meant speculations about the specs. they'll give you the needed info when they leak it through the proper channels. i don't have time to speculate on its specs. i do know it will be an upgrade from the previous model. it will be 14bit. it will be FF. it will be a higher pixel count. self cleaning system. it will support live view. and of course improved metering and AF as each generation usually does. the obvious key words are bigger. better, and improved.

danmitchell Offline Image Upload: Off Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? While it is interesting to see this in their popup menu, it probably isn't all that meaningful or all that big of a deal. The designation on the popup doesn't necessarily tell us what the camera will be called. In the absence of a real name, this could simply how they chose to refer to it. (Sort of like in these forums, right? :-) And, as others pointed out, the idea that a "5DII" might be coming isn't exactly a surprise. But kudos to you for noticing this in their menu. That was fun.

Maybe Canon and Phase One should pay me for doing their PR - I'd better send them an invoice! Plausible deniability is such a nice thing Could this be viral marketing? Yes. Then again, it could be an innocent mistake. Even if it is viral, it could have been left in the pull-down menu, to be discovered by an independent and observant user. It could have been whispered to you shirozina. But like you said, if it were, you would deny it. End result? It has a lot of people talking about it. Good luck sending that invoice Nov 18, 2007 at 07:08 PM

bcaslis Offline Buy and Sell: On Phase One let slip - 5D MK2? Interesting. I was at a local dealer yesterday having a "Canon Expo". There were there with all the Canon equipment including several 1Ds Mark IIIs. When asked about the 5D Mark II, the Canon guy in charge said "not anytime soon". When he was asked about February, he didn't say anything but shook his head slightly to say "no" to one of the store employees. May be nothing or that he didn't know, but I sure got the impression that it was going to be awhile before getting anything. And it wasn't like they were trying to sell more 1Ds Mark IIIs, the store already has a list 100 long for it and not expecting that many anytime soon. Nov 18, 2007 at 07:28 PM

Not suprising considering how close-mouthed Canon has been in the past. Doesn't mean it's not in the hands of several beta-testers somewhere that have signed ND agreements. I'd expect a "Canon Guy" to be particularly close-mouthed lest the company find out he leaked the info and can him. Nov 18, 2007 at 08:10 PM
