Canon 5D Mark III and 5D Mark II Get Price Drops
B&H has dropped the prices on the Canon 5D Mark III and Mark II models.
The 5D Mark III is priced at $3199 now (down from $3459).
The 5D mark II is priced at $1699 now (down from $1799).
It looks like Amazon and Adorama are also showing the same prices on the 5D Mark III, which means this comes from Canon and makes me wonder if Canon is feeling the pressure from Nikon and not moving as many of the higher-priced 5D Mark IIIs in comparison to Nikon’s D800 (which is still cheaper, BTW).
At $1699, the 5D Mark II is the cheapest full frame camera by a long shot over the new, “affordable” Canon 6D and Nikon D600. And, despite its age, is still a very solid camera.

Canon 5D Mark III Firmware Update Offers Uncompressed HDMI Output & Improved AF
Canon just announced a powerful firmware update for the 5D Mark III. The new firmware, due April 2013, will provide uncompressed HDMI output for 4:2:2 8-bit video capture via an external recorder.
Additionally, the 5D Mark III will gain the ability to autofocus at f/8 when equipped with Canon teleconverters (akin to the recent firmware update of the Canon 1D X).
A bit ironic that Canon announced this right after the new Magic Lantern firmware update that unlocks HDMI-out for the 5D Mark III, no?
