My pulse is racing even if the specs are close to what has been posted.

Guys, I understand many of you (like me) start to drive crazy.
But must things like japanese cars and internal or external flashes or the advantage/disadvantage of huge pic sizes be discussed here?

As far I can read, this is the 5D rumor thread. It will be only a couple of some more days till we KNOW. It would help me and my timetable to feed that thread with content to the topic instead of endless & useless discussions about "why I prefere a build in flash/why it is nonsense" etc. Believe me. The camera is finished and all your unfullfilled wishes will remain so. You should discuss that in a "flash" thread or in a new "why I am so happy/unhappy about 5D2 because it does not have xyz" thread later.

Those specs look good but nothing is official so its just dreaming right now. Hopefully they don't use a 21mp sensor and still have 3fps I would much rather have a 16mp sensor with 5-6fps but who know what the official specs are just rumors.... If the camera ends up being 3fps I will just look into buying a 1D3 or 1DIIN not a big deal they should go down in price a bit anyway hopefully.

I think most people would notice that the 7 is much brighter that the "D" I say nice Photoshop job but you blow it !!
Most dreamer will say it's not what they expected... because they didn't have the buck to lay out in the first place!
I'm glad some of you did Flip to Nikon, it puts me higher on the list!!

Ok, here is one from Aug 18th (Northlight):

"From the Xitek forum I'm also sent reports that the new 5D will come in at $2500 and that there will be an FF 'Digital Elan' next Spring (think 7D). New lenses would include an IS 100mm macro and a 35-70 F2."

If anyone heard anything else about an IS 100mm , please let me know.

Ralph, the discussion about whether or not there should be a built-in flash in the 5D II is as "useless" or as relevant as discussing whether one thinks the 5D II will be 16mp or 21mp .... or whether it should be 14-bit or 16-bit .... or whether it should have a high-def screen, 100% VF, 19 AF points, AF micro-adjust, dual card slot, etc, etc ..... you get the drift?

Yes, I think so. I do not admit.
For me its okay, when one says he/she wishes an integrated flash and sombody else does not (wish). What I mentioned as useless ic that it seems to be that people fight against each other and want to convince the other about what is pro and what not. And they use 2 pages to do so. Imo that must not be discussed not here in that form. But please go ahead, if one needs.

Can you give a link? Did not find this post.
"Digital Elan" sounds nice. "Canon EOS Elan" sounds better to me.

Kind of looks like that, since no writing on the filter thread thing.

Will the FD lens fit an EOS 5D II? Why are we talking about FD lenses here?

Try and put URL in to separate windows and switch between them, it is clear that one of them have been altered some..

Seriosly, it looks like a 5D with 7 instead of 5. Exactly the same prism design. Look at the new Canon ad.

EDIT: It’s got a black shoe too!

Who cares about the camera, I just pray that the tag line is not "Delighting You Always". How stupid is that?

I had one. An 85mm 1.2L with the red line around it and it was glued to my T90 most of the time. Here it is:
