I think Dan has the timing as "right" as it can be guessed.


For my money, the 5DMKIII would have to offer something really SPECTACULAR to warrant an upgrade from the 5DMKII. I do a lot of portrait work and shoot a fair amount of weddings, and I haven't found myself asking for any additional features.


If Canon's listening in and trying to decide what would spark my interest, they shouldn't focus on another increase in resolution. Imight be motivated bya big jump in high ISO performance, but only if i can actually use it for enlargements. The images from the 1DMKIV don't give me the impression ISO-100,000 isusable...
