Canon 5D - put up or shut...

Ok, time to have some fun in this group. We've all seen the threads
about the supposed pending announcement of the Canon 5D. For purely
entertainment value, lets keep a running total of who thinks its real,
and who doesn't.

For terms of scoring, "yes its real" will be evaluated on the following
criteria:
1. An announcement by Canon of a 5D before the end of August.
2. The 5D is full frame.
3. The 5D has ~ 12mp resolution, +/- 2 megapixels.

Post a reply to this message, with a "Yes i think its real" or "No i
thinks its bogus" before Friday, August 20th, 11:59pm EST.

For starters, I'll say "No i think its bogus".

PS I'm being generous with the +/- 2 mps.

Someone already mentioned much eariler this year in this group that
there would be a middle of the line model and it'd a full frame camera
coming. Use google to look it up? It would be interesting if you had
raised this question at that time. Now, we're just waiting for the
offical announcement as we all [should] know it's true, along with 1D MK
II N, 430EX flash and a 24-105/4L IS lens.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and say we'll see a 5D with those specs
around the release date.

hrm... maybe i'm not following this group as closely as i should...

i'm still somewhat skeptical. a 5d maybe, but full frame?

i'd hate to be the only loser of my own thread.

Although I appreciate the moral support, looks like in the last 48
hours its all but official... lots of sites posting specs now in
anticipation of the release.

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/265500

The supposed $3500 USD is only about 2.5x that of the 20D... I'd be
more comfortable if it ends up being ~$5k -- given its supposed market
position I think it calls into question Canon's commitment to the 1.6
EF-S mount. A $3500 model today is the $1750 model of 2008...or less.

At the moment, it doesn't call ANYTHING into question, unless Canon is
actively leaking some of these specs, which is an exceptionally poor
marketing technique.

It is all speculative, and until it is officially announced, it's
useless to say it "does" anything.

$1700 is a fair guess for 2008 or 2009 for FF but I think they will
still be making 1.6 EF-S cameras for the under $1000 market in 2008.
