Honestly, This is exactly what i want in a camera and the future existance of my 7D, 10-22 and 17-55IS is in doubt.

FINALLY!!!! I was a bit scared, that Canon could come up with an insane number of MP. Fortunately, they decided to go with just 22MP. And for the rest I'm with you: that's the camera I wanted.

My missus has already been informed, that there won't be any shopping trips for the next few months. I guess her laughter was meant as "OK!" ...

What an awesome camera it will be.
Given the excellent IQ from the now 3 or 4 year old mk2 I'm thinking it's going to be a brilliant combination. With the new AF module direct from the 1Dx plus HDR shooting etc it's going o be a bigger seller than the multi zillion unit mk2.
22 is a great compromise in mp really focusing on IQ over all else.
Having seen the effects of diffraction on files from my 1Ds go soft at F14+ any more than 24 is asking for trouble.
With a stellar new 24-70 on the way the best zoom on the world at the moment the 70-200 the new 5D is going to get some insane images!
No where is my 1Dx!

Buying one will be a problem these days of economic stress for most of us I think!

Hahaha, how to break it to my misses im not going to be flying to america for her graduation because I'll be bankrupt from buying this camera!

It's rather uncanny, I was talking to Mr Rowson only the other day about my ideal camera and its like Canon said, right we'll do you every so slightly so better.
I wanted ~21MP I got 22.
I wanted the 7D's AF I got the 1dX'.
I wanted 5 fps I got 6.

Also only having a 3 shot AEB has been driving me nuts recently! Now i get 9!

THANK YOU CANON!

Not too thrilled about the price though.

Since my secondary body is on its last legs I might not be able to gather the $3500 in time, so I might just go with a used 1D2/3 or 5D/2 and a 16-28 or 16-35 after selling my 12-24 (1.6x only).

At this point what I care the most is low light performance, I have a 7D for the fast shooting, but I want something with much better performance. Oh, and better performance at ISO 100 too.

ISO 6400 stuff looks fantastic...

With the 1Dx coming in at 18mp I'm wondering just how good that's going to be IFAD 22mp these are so clean.

They are only Jpeg though be interested to see the Raws...wondering if they will go the Nikon route applying pre file creation noise reduction to the Raw files to clean them...I hope not much prefer to edit what I've shot directly rather than a file which has been altered prior to saving.

Great times!

Hoping to have my 5D3 by Saturday when i go to LHR! It's going to be an awesome camera body to have. My 5D2 does 85% of what i want from a camera, this one will do 99% of what i want from a camera body!

[brianw999]

Keep an eye out Chris....I might be there Saturday as well.

Your choice whether you come and say hello........or run like hell !!

[chris78cpr]

I'll come over to show you what a real camera looks like, show you the way of Canon!

My current plan involves getting this in early June. Depends on finances, but I passed the even more difficult barier. The girlfriend has given me an OK to get it then!
