1D Mark V

[Matt.s.Maneri]

Im completely skeptical about what I have been hearing about this body coming out in later 2011 however, I wanted to make a post to see what my friends on The DP thought about this. When do you speculate it coming out? A lot has been floating around since the 1D Mark III released in 07 and the 1D Mark IV in 09 this is obviously the basis for a 1D Mark V in 11.





So let me know what you think.

I don't think it's going to be released this year, the 1Ds IV is not released yet and with this tsunami and earthquake in Japan it's going to be delayed even further. Mabye if the 1Ds IV was out and about and without this disaster in Japan the three year life cycle might hold some water.

well If you read Canons report on the earthquake they are almost up and running and are expected to be 100% by April 15th

I would think they are going to need to play catch-up for awhile on existing orders. Plus, once a new product is announced ...it still takes quite before it actually hits the market.

Keep in mind the cultural tendancy toward understatement, and note that they stated, "With regard to the multiple operation sites and Canon Group companies in Japan that sustained no direct damage due to the earthquake and its aftermath, the Company is left with no alternative but to continue adjusting some production activities due to rolling blackouts and procurement conditions for raw materials, parts and other supplies."

Matt,


I have to agree with those before me, even if there were no earthquake or tsunami the 1D IV is low on the list of new models destined to be released. We will (or at least I think would have before the disaster) see the 1Ds IV andthen if I had to guess (which isreally whatwe are all doing here) would be the 5D III and an 8D. Throw in the disaser, which is going to take longer to recover from than the reports thus far indicate (again only my guess), it may be a while before current items are available again, much less new product.

I am waiting for the new 1 Ds Mark IV to come out. At the time being I have 2 EOS 7 D but I want FF DLSRs. The lenses 16-35, 24-70, 24-105 and


70-300 DO which I bought when I had 2 1D Mark IV are waiting for the new model. I sold the 1D Mark IV bodies because they were not FF cameras


and with the crob factor you loose space with the wide angle lenses. I think we will have to wait. 15 th April is over and nothing happened. I wrote several e-mails to Canon in USA, Germany and GReat Britain concerning this matter. - No answer, or the answer was: We don

I have on good authority, that the 1Ds IV will be released next month on the 15th, along with a new and improved 35mm F1.4L II and a 24-70mm F2.8L II Zoom.


From the same source I found out that tonights lottery numbers will be 3, 12, 19, 8, 42 and the power ball number be 18.
