carlwakefield Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 <p>I just saw the online discount price for the CANON EOS 1Ds Mark III Body fell from 8000 sfr to 4300. Does that mean canon is just about to release a new model. What other reason could there be with just a massive price drop? Any body heard anything.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlwakefield Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 <p>There are three sites in Switzeland offering this.<br> <a href="http://www.toppreise.ch/prod_121505.html">http://www.toppreise.ch/prod_121505.html</a> <br> They can not all be scams. The only problem will between order date and delivery. But I am sure its no scam.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 <blockquote> <p>They can not all be scams.</p> </blockquote> <p>? ? There are more than three sites in Brooklyn NY all offering marvelous deals on 5D mkii cameras, for example, and they are all scams. Just advising caution. The USA sellers don't seem to be offering any similar deals yet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlwakefield Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 <p>JDM I agree and would also feel that way but these swiss companies have been around for years are well known. The next week will tell if more do the same. I think it indicates a new body from Canon will be released. The price drop is since two days so its new. Somebody must know about this. Let wait and see.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zml Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 <p>Actually, the price in legitimate places in Europe has been on a little upswing lately. (It hovers around $6000 in the US. And IMO at $6000 it is the best value in high-end cameras ever.)</p> <p>As for the new model - those in the know ain't talking and those who talk know absolutely nothing about it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_wilson Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 <p>The rumour is 30 - 32 megapixel in the fall but this is just a rumour. It would be consistant with the three prior generations. This is in line with prior behaviour, the 1Ds has 11mp vs 4.15 for the 1D and launched 11 months later. The 1DsII had 16.7 Mp vs 8.2 for the 1DII and launched 7 months later. The 1DsIII had 21.1 MP vs 10.1 for the 1DIII and launched 6 months later. A August - November launch of a 30 - 32 MP camera would seem about right.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frederick_stevens2 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 <p>Put 'Simply Electronics Complaints' into Google and stand back! I had a very bad experience with them and it took me a long time to get my money back! And the lies were incredible and they had no stock!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlwakefield Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 <p>OK Guys I have to say I could not resist buying for that price.<br> Yes you were right I never received the camera and I have had to fight with the company and get legal help from the credit card company and have finally now got my money back. It was to good to be true.<br> Regards Carl</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
