No surprise. Competitor to the Nikon D300s. They always go hand-and-hand. Odd numbering convention used though. I would have expected 60D or something like that, not a number greater than the 5D. Still … got sweet spec’s.

Hmm. This probably is what I should’ve waited for instead of getting the T1i. Been pretty happy with that camera though, and you can’t make pictures with a camera you don’t have.

I think it’s nice that they are providing a range of cameras, but I hope they don’t start delineating products artificially by omitting firmware features.

Canon has previously said that its upgrade cycle for pro-level DSLRs is 3 years and I believe the spokesperson was directly referring to the 5D at that time.

What are the refresh periods for Canon SLRs?

More precisely, when would the 5D Mark II be updated? I’m curious about waiting for the next model or getting the Mk II. I have a 40D and am looking to replace it in a few months.
