I really liked my 5DII, but when I bought my 7D, which had the features I wanted in the 5D sans FF, my neighbor offered to buy my 5D. I thought about it, then pulled the trigger. I'd love to see a FF with the 7D feature set and very importantly, the same battery. Looking forward to this. 3D, 5D III, don't care what the call it. I will get back into FF when they offer this, if it's not a 1D price or size.

It'll come next fall. The 1Ds IV is coming soon, probably in the Spring. 5D3 in the late fall, after the 1Ds4 sales have stabilized, but before the holidays.

That's my take anyway.

And yes, it will have an AF system similar to that of the 7D.

+1 on the last two posts.

I believe that Canon will introduce an upgrade to the 5D2 at the beginning of the holiday season next year (at least I hope).

I'd like to see the AF of the 7D included, but I'm not really interested in high througput (4-5fps is fine). I'm mostly interested in an upgraded full-frame sensor, even lower noise, more usability options, and advanced video features.

All for less than $3K (hopefully).

Isn't that the year (and maybe the date) the world comes to an end? Or begins anew?

There was a refurbished 1Ds mkIII for $4675 a week ago.

Regular price:

I will give myself another half a year.

My question about all of this is, how many cameras do Canon need to make? By my count, we already have five levels of camera on offer: the 1000D, the 3-digit D, the two-digit D, a 7D, 5D and 1DS - and that excludes the 1D as a specialist offshoot. Perhaps I've become used to being happy with what I have, but how many more niches do we need? You can reach into the virtual ingredient bag and play mix and match to come up with the 'perfect' camera for any photographer and situation, but is it worth Canon making that camera? Canon have taken a pounding in the forums for the *apparent* lack of QC on new cameras - wouldn't we rather seem them put more work into fewer new models than less work into more? I wouldn't want to be a camera salesman trying to explain the differences between them, let alone trying to cross-compare with the other brands.

I'm just glad we haven't seen an 'Already disappointed by the 5D3' thread yet!

Sure hope not .... unless they increase the size of the sensor ala Leica S2.

i hope it gets no more than 25MP. a reduction to 16 would be my preference, but that's not likely.

=/

at least it'll get the 7D's af - finally

Nothing wrong with it. Great camera. But I happen to agree with the first quote because I prefer a smaller body and smaller price. Don't know if it'll ever happen, but it'd be perfect for me.

EOS 5D Mark III

Full Frame Sensor with 23.1 MegaPixel

5892 x 3928

because 1920 * 3 = 5760, so the new Sensor will better fit for FullHD Video

1 Digic V Processor, which is faster than 2 Digic IV processors
and is much better for a wide range of video codecs

9 frames continuous per second, till card is full

Video Modes:
120 Frames per Second 1280 x 720
60 Frames per Second 1920 x 1080
24 Frames per Second 2K / (hardware is able to do, but is set off: 4K)

able to use the hole sensor in video mode for better light performance

will have a record button like the 7D, will not have a popup flash,
but will have a new wireless transmitter for the SpeedLite 580 EX III and the
SpeedLite 430 EX III, both are able to communicate with light and radio.

The name of the ne SpeedLites can also be 580 EX II R+

5D Mark III will have a GPS build in, and can get the position of the new SpeedLites
so the 5DM3 is the first camera which is able to save the hole lighting set with
the light positions.

will come 2011, the price will be at 2.500 $ till 4.500 $
depence on the feautures, that will be build in

What will come this summer or to the photokina?

There will be no 60 D, because 50 D and 7D are to near in price.
There will be no 600 D, because the 500 D is too new.
There will be no 2000 D with 12 or 15 Mepagpixels and a 720p videomode

Canon will bring out a lot of hardware for your hardware.

Microphones, videolight and the new SpeedLite series
and some pocked SSD / HDD recorder with HDMI imput, to stream vom a 7D oder 5D
to your backpack, maybe like a USB netbook as storage device,
new display and videotransmitter as batterie pack


500D will be about 450 $ with cashback 50$, 7D about 1.100 $
5D M2 will get a new firmware, with using the AF-On for liveview or video record
and a new file after a 4 GByte for continuous movies.
price will be at 1.500 $

7D will get an firmware update like you know it from Magic Latern, but it will come
from canon, better audio controll, better low level shutter without flickering stribes
and new file after 4 GByte 12.5 min. movie file

With the new 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II we will get a new file system for CF cards,
both will transmit there liveview wireless to seperate hardware.

So it will be possible to see the liveview from a 7DII on a 5DIII

the new 600, 60 will call 700 and 70 because of the 7D and 5D and 500D and 50D
maybe the 70 D and the will be 7D Mark II the same. This will be a marketing thing.

this will come maybe next year

500 D ~ 450,-
700 D ~ 800,-
(17 Megapixels, 1 Digic IV, but more pipes, 30 Frames at 1920 x 1080) better autofocus, microphone plug)
7 D ~ 1100,- (new firmware)
70 D ~ 1400,- * (20 MP with crop, rest like 7D, no new file system, no transmitters)
may have USB 3
5 D M2 ~ 1500,- (new filmware)
7 D M2 ~ 2000,- * ( 20 MP with crop, but digic 5) USB 3
5 D M3 ~ 3000,- (23,1 MP Full ) USB 3


70D, 7D2, here it is not clear if the two digits series will be come two an end.
or the 7D.


7D M2 and 5D M3 will be able to play videos and you can use them to render videos

Using a netbook via USB 2/3 it will be possible to send uncompressed or
compressed date to the 7D2 or 5D3 and get the new encoded videfile back

in edit mode it will be possible to record more audio streams for one movie file.
5D3 and 7D2 will have to holes for

2 headphones
or 2 microphones (4 channels)
or 1 headphone and 1 microphone

a firmware update for 7D1 will give the possiblity to record 3 audio streams
1 build in micro, 2 stereo plugin micro

maybe 5D3 and 7D2 be able to save more then 2 or 4 channels at the same time.

With 2 5D3 or 1 5D3 and 1 7D2 you will be able to synch the recordings.
5D3 as Master, 7D2 as slave

What about not turning the camera, but the sensor?

what I missed first time at the 7D was the lighting sensor from the 400D,
the 400D has no liveview, and I pressed the (Start/Stop) button from the
7D to set the exposure time or aperture. Because the 400D has no 2nd wheel.
Av +/- button is at the same place where the 7D has it's (liveview) button.

There it would be usefull, if the liveview will only start when I am not looking
through the viewfinder :-)

For overhead photos it would be good to have a wireless display or
a long cable, not only turning a clapping the monitor.

I would prefer glasses with build in display to clap. with cable to the HDMI.
A real HDMI is also better tha a mini HDMI port

.................

To make a movie of myself it would be nice to have a signal from the
build in lamp for the autofocus help and timer, or an acustic signal, that I will
realize when the 12.5 min. are over and the 4 GByte file was written and the
recording stops.

Firmware, Firmware, Firmware ...

I am also thinking about recording via voice commands.

And a visual clock in a display too see, how late it is at the set.
Not shooting a picture and looking at the info of the picture or jumping
in the menu.

Sometimes I have 5 min. or less, but enough time to take some beautiful pictures.

I missed the clock on the 300D, on the 400D and on the 7D.
My mobile phone has a clock and can also take pictures ;-)

_________________________
... I know, go into the menu and move to the clock, ones done,
only press the menu button, to see the clock
_________________________

... Sometimes I also wish to have JAVA games for my cameras.
snake, tetris

what about headphones?

Think 5Mark3 and 7D Mark 2 will have plugs for them.
And the 700 D will have one plug for microphone or headphone.
