I'm sure this is something many people have been waiting to see - B&H and Adorama currently have the EOS 5D Mark II on sale for $2,499.95 in a kit that includes a bag and two Sandisk Extreme III 4GB CF cards. A very nice $200 savings over the initial MSRP. Jump on it now! Through the links on the Site, of course. []
Or get the refurbished one from Adorama for even less.... ;-)
How soon 'til the 5D mkIII buzz starts?

Yeah I've always followed the 5D closely. I was able to get my mkII 3 Days after they were released. So I figure it will a couple more years before I'm shelling out for the mkIII. But I love the rumor mills and all the speculation.
According to the rumor mills, the 1Ds MK IV should be announced in a couple of months. According to a source quoted by CanonRumors, the specs look something like this:
- 32MP
- Looks like a 1D4 with a bigger bump on top
- New sRAW modes
- Feels very similar to use to the 1D4
- AF looks to be the same as the 1D4
- Similar features to 1D4 in most areas – inc. ISO
- Low light performance noticeably improved on 1Ds3
- 5FPS
I must say that 5FPS sounds a bit hopeful for a 32MP camera...so we'll just have to see.
