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.Originally Posted by Magijr
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.
