New Canon 5D Mark II and 1D Mark IIIn Rumor - June 2008

Posted on May 1, 2008

Just when we thought rumors had died off for the Canon 5D Mark II and 1D Mark IIIn, up crops another over at the FredMiranda.com forums.  This one seems pretty weak on its face; however, Yakim (the poster) has been around for quite some time and generally has a pretty good ear to the ground for upcoming gear.  Still yet, take it with a grain of salt.

5D Mk II.
1D Mk III N.
2 new lenses.

The source is an old Israeli photographer which shoots Nikon, has a vast collection of Nikon equipment and has some internal knowledge in Nikon and Canon (a little). FWIW, he is well respected in Israel and is considered a reliable source.

    @Iris - Speculation abounds, but the consensus seems to be a price over $3000.

    @Z.brown - PMA 2009 is scheduled to take place March 3-5, 2009. My money’s still on Photokina 2008. Agreed on your point regarding the MK3n.

    if not in June then we can expect it on August so actually 3 years after 5D launch… Now I’m a bit skeptic after previous rumors :)
