Addressing the Canon EOS 5D replacement question
I’m getting a lot of email asking when a 5D replacement will be available, so I’m guessing many more of you are wondering as well.
Unfortunately, the answer is – I don’t know.
I avoid posting unsubstantiated rumors here – and I have heard a lot of these regarding the 5D replacement. I think most are complete guesses (though some are realistic-sounding guesses). Canon is very good at keeping new product information confidential until (or close to) their formal announcements. The next time Canon historically announces new products is in August.
I expected a 5D replacement to be on the list in January, but obviously it was not there. So, August is my next best guess for the announcement of a 5D replacement with availability in 1-3 months (another guess) for those pre-ordering immediately (demand is going to be very high) after the announcement. Keep an eye on this page – I’ll immediately post any Canon-related information I get.
All that said, the 5D is still an excellent body at an excellent price - I expect a replacement to cost considerably more than the current 5D price (I’m still guessing of course).
