Hello, Text is very surprising for anyone fluent in German. It does not sound right. Call a full frame camera light etc… in this market segment is surprising. I’m a potential buyer, but do not want my 3.5k€ camera to be prised as “small en light-weight”…

But, until Canon makes an announcement, we won’t know for sure, will we ?

It’s hard to be patient, though …

Cheers !

Why would someone feel it necessary to take a screensnap of this if they actually saw it on an official website? This screensnap is most likely bogus, but the person concocting it had some pretty technically aligned hopefulness.

Another fact is that the DIGIC IV chip is coming. The screensnap states that the annoucement is for the DIGIC III 5D Mark II. This is right off of of DPreview.com

“Canon senior engineer, Taki Somoishe, stated today in Las Vegas that the new Mark III Ds will ship in November in time for Christmas season. A 22mp full frame sensor with a new high speed chip coded Digic IV model. The camera will have a burst rate of 7 frames per second. The camera will not have a view screen similar to the 10 frame D model. The Mark III Ds will capture images in Jpeg, Raw and now tiff. More info to be announced in March”

“EOS 5D Mark II – verfügbar ab Juni 2008
Die EOS 5D Mark II mit Vollformat-CMOS Sensor mit 16 Megapixel. 6,5 Bilder pro Sekunde und innovativer DIGIC III Prozessor. Klein, unauffällig, leicht und handlich jedoch robuste, wetterfeste Konstruktion.”

The whole text sounds weird to me. Not what I would expect from a professional copywriter. Especially the last sentence doesn’t sound good to me. There is a least one “.” or “,” missing, too.

If the 5D II gets released I assume the text on the German website will not be the same. ;-)

Me Being fluent in German, the description does mention the fact that it will be available as of June 2008. Not necessarily fake.
