Enough with the teasers and leaks already Canon. I want my 1DS MkIV and my 5D MkIII! so please, quit yanking our collective photographic chains and bring the new toys to market already.
Same with you, Nikon! I’ve been waiting for the D700 replacement to pair with my D3, but so far I’ve just been using the Canon 5d as my second body. (I almost switched a few years back, but there was the 1D Mark III AF debacle, and Nikon saved me as a customer with the intro of the wonderful and perfect-for-me D3.
Yep. And the 7D has been out long enough to be in that “I want to buy one but their going to be releasing the replacement any time now so let’s wait and see what that is like.” zone.
I know that 7D replacement rumors have been circulating just about since the day before the 7D was released and that the 7D MarkII is unlikely to be out before Fall 2012, but I bought my 50D just before the 7D came out and I don’t want to repeat that mistake.
(The 50D is OK, but it has too few focusing points and I’m not convinced that the sensor is all that hot – too many megapixels for that sensor size.)
Man, I’ve been trying to come up with a logical reason to convince my spouse that I need to trade in my D100 for one of the newer Nikons. Think, damn it!
