    Canon C500, done it..... i mean.... no I haven't, anyone else?

    Don't know about the rest of you. I was kinda hoping for a pancake lens announcement.

    Maybe later I guess.

    The way things are going, I'll be watching Hollywood movies shot on the C500 before I get my 1D X. Delayed again, darn it. June, they're saying now...

    Not all is lost. You could get a 1D C, it looks like it might do everything the 1D X does and more. Maybe the C will beat the June delivery date.

    If it makes you feel any better, I have been hearing "things" about a 5d III recall. Don't know if it is bogus or not. Not sure what they would be recalling.

    It'd be the non-issue of the light leak, no doubt.

    Seen the back of the 1DC?


    It might do almost everything that the 1DX does, like the 12/14fps, but live-view isn't one of them.
    (Or pellicle mirror? Electronic Viewfinder? BYO HDMI screen?)

    Just when I thought I was being able to "drive" the buttons on my 3ti. LOL oops pee'd my pants.

    I am starting to think the "form factor" guys are going to start howling how this makes no sense, the body is too small, my fingers get cramped, it looks silly on my full sized shoulder rig/stabilizer, etc.

    Lens attached to a sensor with outputs to a computer which then is connected a whole series of really clumsy (cause that what we are) human interfaces. Our fingers are too big & too few, eyes to lack resolution, etc. Sort does start to beg the question of form factor - which "components" should be cobbled together in which fashion? Perhaps some sort of 2nd "full size" (what ever that means) control panel, LCD, etc.

    While I am at it, I am dissapointed google earth is not real time video too or perhaps yet.

    This would have been a good place to test drive the N-Focus system where the camera focuses on what your looking at.
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    I think you have the wrong back picture of the 1D C, it looks to me to be identical to the 1D X.

    Yeah, that was just the photo at the top of the CR page.
    Now that I think about it, the right doesn't even look like the left, it's more bulbous at the back (is that the C300 maybe?).
    Bryan's photos do look a lot more 1D-esque...
