Thank you for your reply Rich. I am going to look in to the Photokina, great idea. You stated that Canon has rumored a release of a less expensive FF camera to compete with Nikon at the Photokina. What Nikon do you think is the cheapest FF camera? I am guessing that this less expensive Nikon is the one that Canon will compete with, and if so, what price do you think Canon will sell their FF camera for?

It seam counter productive to me that Canon just released the Rebel t4i and the 5D MKIII in the past 6 months, and they will release another camera? Is this standard in the industry?

You have certainly got me thinking and I appreciate that, thank you again Rich.

If you are waiting on Canon to release a new camera based on a rumor you may be waiting until your daughter/son graduate high school before you get a camera at all. You can't trust rumors you hear about Canon. In the past we have only seen a small percentage of the rumors ever materialize as the real thing. You could almost attribute the rumors that were correct to random chance, enough guesses and someone will get it right. Some could claim accuracy because they did predict the release of a 5D III, but most of those people also predicted the release of a 1Ds IV.

In the past you could predict that the next generation of Canon cameras would have a much higher pixel count since for the past dozen years each new release had a higher and higher count, those making those predictions in the last round of cameras failed miserably as Canon lowered the pixel count with the flagship camera.

My advice is ignore the rumors and choose from what is available now.

Anyway, if you decide to go Full Frame I would go with the 5D III. Cameras are just like computers after three or so years they are old news. The 5D II is old news now, where the 5D III should have a good two or three year run. The 5D II is still a good camera, but it is technology over three years old. You will not have a problem using either 5D, as it will have a setting that is automatic and lets the camera decide all the settings. You will only have to point it and shoot to get it to work. You can take control of the settings more and more as you learn.

Sure, my pleasure!

Yes, it's only a rumor at this point, but since Photokina is only 4 weeks away, you may want to see if anything new will be announced. I wouldn't wait until the end of the year though!

As HDNitehawk mentioned, a lot of these rumors don't pan out!

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about Nikon's lineup. It would be impossible for me to speculate on a price for a rumored Camera.

It's not unusual for these companies to release more than a few cameras a year.

I hope that helps!
