Soooooo, did they mean PMA? Photokina is not until September this year, so it better not be April 2009!
Can anyone clarify this? Or is the factual errors proof this is just another load of crap?
Matt,
I think the implication from the above rumor is that the release is April 2008.
However, it’s just a rumor for now. There’s been no verification. Camera makers have been known to release new cameras at other times than just major trade shows.
Look at Olympus and the E-420 - a full month after PMA. I would expect more of these non-tradeshow announcements with the crowded DSLR market that we’re now seeing. It gives the manufacturers a little more exclusivity in the press when their not competing with a dozen other new DSLRs hitting at the same time.

I agree - the OEM’s do pretty much what they want, WRT releasing new products.
The upside of releasing it now is: whatever they bring out will get EVERYONE’S attention and will not get overlooked or lost in the general hoopla of PMA or Photokina. As it might be the “only thing going” in April, it will be the hoopla.
April 2009 is, IMHO, too late for the 5D update…they need to get it out there while everyone is anxiously anticipating it..

[…] Well I am in the market for a new camera. I sold my Canon 20D a while back and have been sailing by with one body, my 30D. I do not want to spend the money to get a Mark III though I would love to have one. I don’t believe that it has enough to offer me to make it worth the four grand right now. The 5D has been a camera that I have thought about a lot off and on over the last year but with Canon releasing and then phasing out cameras so often I was a bit apprehensive to make the $2199 purchase from BHPhotoVideo right now. I did some searching on Google and came across some information about the possible release of a second generation 5D coming out early June. I really need 2 camera bodies and do not want to spend the money on the 5D if it’s second gen will be released in June. […]
Wow, I cant wait, Just like I couldn’t wait the other 10 times a 5D MKII rumor managed get everyone excited but never delivered. This is complete BS , speculation, whatever you want to call it… This same thing has been brought up every 3 months for the last 1.5 years. So take this article for what it’s worth, NOTHING….
It’s a nice dream, but there’s no way Canon is going to blow the rest of their upper line out of the water with a camera with all of these specs for only $3500. If it happens, which I doubt, you’ll have to stand in line for a year just to get to hold one.
can you say Bulls–t…the price alone is marketable suicide. I can be wrong?
