Canon 5D MK III (3)

28 mp? damn, kind of excessive, isn't it?

Say that to a 40Mp Hasselblad? if its a Good and upgraded Sensor,it'll be rather Good quality

 

[NateS]

28 is too much for me too. I don't think my computer could even handle a 28mp raw file for editing. I hope it is 28mp though that way if I jump ship to Canon, the 5d2 will be cheaper on the used market.

Nah.. you can print 21" wide at 300ppi! Sexy.

Hey Cfusion! Did you know that the porn industry hold their expo also during the same week as the CES in Vegas??? Know why? They know CES is a huge thing and people come from all over the world so they want to attract those people also.

This is from last year. But they do it every year Well since you're going to CES

Wow, now I have TWO reasons to go to Vegas next month! I wasn't aware CES was going to be there too.

Personally, I'd rather they leave the pixel count alone and focus on improved AF and noise. I'm getting a full frame next year and presently have no lenses to fit on one, so I don't know if I'll go for the 5DIII or the D800. 2011 is going to be an exciting year for photography, me thinks.

Haha, yep. Turns out a friend of mine actually does ad design for a porn site and goes to that epxo every year (along with CES). I've never been, but I may have to check it out this year. :mrgreen:

 

[MohaimenK]

Hey if they do have a 5D Mk3 ask Canon to let you borrow it for some heavy testing and take it across the street and take some pix then post them here for some C&C!

 

[cfusionpm]

I'll have a CF and SD card ready!

40mp??? They already have 60mp and I think either a 80mp or coming out with one? But here's another one

I believe that 28 mp is too much, the files are large enough as it is. Let the other items, such as AF become the focal interest....along with a quieter shutter.

iirc, the 21mp sensor in the 5D MKII is equal in pixel density to an 8MP 1.6x APS-C sensor, so you won't have the problems like an 18mp 1.6x APS-C sensor found in the 7D. With an improvement of the sensor and everything else, the only negative I could see is with the file sizes themselves. Other than that, a lot of studio and landscape photographers won't mind the 28mp sensor, as long as it doesn't impace image quality.

 

[Village Idiot]

I want a Mkii,if the Mkiii is released next year,i'll still be going for the mkii,as it'll be cheaper,and it's still a good camera.so im looking forward to the news

I'll sell you mine at that point.

 

[RauschPhotography]

Sounds amazing! I'll probably hold on for a little while, see what's been upgraded and then make up my mind.

i have 5D & 5Dmii - canon will need to increase the step up between models for the miii, if they are to really show some added value.

 

[Mugen80]

I was close to buying the MK 2 today! Is there any news on a release date for the MK 3 or any updated news on the specs?
