I am quite impressed with the leak control carried out by Canon.

However, it may imply 2 things:
(i) Specs may not be as impressive as hyped/hoped, and Canon has fears that leaks may jeopardize its impact (even the impressive Nikon D3 specs were leaked before actual release)
(ii) The greater the secrecy, the higher the hopes. And if the camera does not live up to all this hype, the disappointment may be immense and may cause a massive sellout.

So, I urge folks here to keep their hopes in check.

PS: There were rumors that Canon execs were relieved when they first heard the Nikon D700 specs. This mirrored the reaction Nikon had when the 1Ds3 specs were released last year: "a Nikon exec said that they'd "breathed a huge sigh of relief" when they saw Canon's announcements of this Monday", as described here. Well, we certainly hope Canon has some good grounds for their confidence (and not just because the 5D replacement has video capabilities... :bsmilie: )

Nope. Just to be realistic. Hopefully, it won't be another disappointment like the Panasonic G1.

On a different note, the collapse of major American banks and the poor showing of Singapore's growth in the second quarter are signs that we should perhaps save up some money... :bsmilie:

pana G1 not bad wat... it's a step in the right EVIL direction.

Agree about time to start saving more... at least until Canon gives us 1DsX at current 50D price. comes wif pellicle mirrors that gives always-on super accurate, super fast AF tat locks on and tracks a fire-fly in flight ISO so high and clean that shoot fire-fly also no need flash.... hahaha.

(no joklng about the period of saving tho... china and india might be huge, but their purchasing power is limited.)

We're literally at the crossroads this last few hours!

It has come down to this: If the new model keeps the "5D" name with a Mark II insignia, it will be what most aspire it to be. If it's a 7D, 6D etc, it will be yet another forgettable DSLR from the non-1D stable.

Yes, Master Yoda. :think:

Yes, Master Yoda. :think:

If I'm yoda... I wouldn't be cracking my head if the chicken or the egg comes first.

Anyway, not really my focus... I'm thinking when 1D4 is coming (now that there's Digic IV)
