Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
This appears to be the official images of the 5D Mark III along with a possible spec list for the camera. (via CR)
Note that there are a couple of things in the spec list that seem a little odd – like the plethora of video formats. We should know something for sure later tonight though.
More images and full spec list below. [Read more…]
Above is a supposed to be one of the press invites for the 5D Mark III due out at midnight Thursday night. (via CR)
Something is coming Thursday night at midnight EST. Of course, I’ll have full details up as soon as I know something official. We may even get some leaks ahead of time (usually the case).
What we’re expecting is the Canon 5D Mark III – a 22MP full frame DSLR that captures 1080p video with the same codec we see in the 1D X (edit-friendly ALL-I and the more compressed IPB). [Read more…]
I was sitting here squinting at some of the lower resolution photos of the Canon 5D Mark III looking to see what that top port was on the left side and someone emailed me a link to a high-res crop. [Read more…]
Looks like the Canon 5D Mark III has slipped out with some pics of the real camera a little early. More below. [Read more…]
Canon Rumors is predicting next week as a for sure thing for the Canon 5D Mark II replacement. Presumably, it will be called the 5D Mark III; however, there have been rumblings that Canon will go with the 5D X name and apparently play off the recent release of the 1D X.
Semantics about naming schemes aside, below is what’s supposed to be the actual specs for the 5D III/X. [Read more…]
Canon Rumors says that February 28 looks like the big day for a camera announcement from Canon. Craig is calling for “a full frame camera” although the exact model name is unknown to date. [Read more…]
A tipster recently sent me word that the Canon 5D Mark II would remain in Canon’s lineup in the near future. However, another new DSLR model would be released soon (instead of a 5D Mark III) and would be a step-up from the 5D Mark II. [Read more…]
Is this the Canon 5D Mark III?
An unknown Canon camera appeared in Kenya this week, along with prototype versions of the Canon 200-400mm lens and Canon 600mm lens. Lots of speculation has ensued as to whether this is the Canon 5D Mark III.
The above photo comes from the Aperture Academy blog and shows a Canon camera body attached to the new 600mm lens. The person using the camera and lenses is claimed to be a Canon employee who is testing new equipment. [Read more…]
This is some kind of New Year resolution for Canon – that is, if all these rumors come to light by the end of the year.
More juice on the Canon 5D Mark III suggests further that the camera would maintain a reasonable MP-count (if not the same as the Canon 1D X). The rumor mill also continues to churn on an announcement for the 5D Mark III in the next few months. For the record, my money is still on an announcement in time for the 2012 NAB Show.
In addition to the 5D Mark III, rumors are swirling that the infamous Canon 3D is a live project. No spec details other than to suggest that it is a “photographer’s camera.” What that means, I dunno. The simplest of guesses has me leaning toward no/minor video functionality, which would go hand-in-hand with earlier rumors of the 5D Mark III as a very video-centric camera.
Hmm? A 5D line as the video-focused line and a 3D line as the stills-focused line? The 3D name would tend to lead to less confusion if the camera didn’t have video capture at all… [Read more…]
How about some new juice on the Canon 5D Mark III? Keith over at Northlight posted some interesting things he heard on the 5D Mark III, stating:
[T]he 5D2 replacement will be aimed at ‘cleaning up’ in the DSLR video market, complementing the video specific 1 series mentioned at the recent Hollywood announcement. [Read more…]
