Canon 5D mark III will be announced on February 28

Update of 24-70 better have IS on it or they are wasting their time!

This is just going to drive the price up and isn't even necessary.

Looks like canon rumors has the same information. 5D Mark III « Canon Rumors

I am liking the latest specs in the rumors far better than those that had been posted before! We shall see!

They are updating 35L? wth? Update of 24-70 better have IS on it or they are wasting their time!

Someone wanna enlighten me on WHY everyone is wanting IS/OS/VR on a lens of this focal length? It doesn't make sense to me. You have to be above a shutter speed of 1/70 at the full zoom in order to be out of the camera shake danger zone... I am RARELY (if EVER) shooting hand held below 1/80 anyway... so? What am I missing here? It's not going to help in any type of portraiture. Only still life. If you photograph a living person, landscape with breezes... with a shutter that low the IS isn't going to do anything to prevent the motion blur, so it's kind of redundant and just a money pit IMO.

The D800 is supposed to be $3k, with the AA filter-less one at $3300.

Traitor. :er:

All of the rumors point to a $4k price tag for the D800. Hopefully you are right though.

So, what's an AA filter?

There's plenty of links there that will tell you all about it.

But, basically, it's a filter infront of the sensor that will intentionally take out ome detail so you don't get any aliasing or moiré. But, you do lose some detail.
