A Word About the Canon EOS 5D Successor
Interesting bit just tossed our way by the Canon rep when we asked about a 5D follow-up, slightly paraphrased: The EOS-1Ds line (their full-frame pro DSLRs) is on a three-year upgrade cycle. The 1Ds Mark II came out in 2004, and the Mark III dropped in 2007. The EOS 5D came out in 2005.
Draw your own conclusions.

The longer we wait for the 5D replacement to be announced, the better it will be once it arrives.
I think the replacement is going to blow everyone’s mind…ah, for the good of course.
In a way I’m glad it is not coming out for nearly another year, as I am expecting it to eclipse the D3 eventhough the D3 is in a higher category. And as to the D300, who cares about it? It may be a great camera, and maybe even better then the 40D, but in regard to the replacement for the 5D, who cares about the D300…it’s irrelevent as far as I’m concerned…
I hope the 5D replacement comes out before 2009! I have been a Canon person.. from the old film EOS 20 camera to the 20D.. Currently have been considering and debating whether to switch to Nikon.. I had been cosidering the Canon 40D but the Nikon D300 seems to eclipse it so I’m torn! I don’t really like the Nikon look (toy-ish compared to Canon in terms of looks).. This is why I hope the 5D replacemets get here soon! my sister’s wedding is March 2009 haha
