At DPR, a 5D2 rumour at last! It seems that the 5D Mk2 is to be announced in April (22nd)

A set of specifications is offered too...


Looks to be a concoction of many wish lists I've seen, but then again no-one said that Canon -had- to restrict their announcements to PMA (Jan/Feb) and Photokina time (Aug/Sept). The high ISO would be nice and would tempt me to get one as an alternative/backup to my 1Ds3 (I rarely need high ISO and 21MP for my work)

• 15.3 MP full frame CMOS sensor (vastly improved light-gathering capacity per pixel: improved micro lenses; miniaturized micro circuitry; enhanced signal/noise ratio)
• Weather sealing same as 1Ds Mark III

• 14 bit A/D conversion
• ISO 12800 (C.F. up to 25600)

It seems too that rebates are starting in Canada on the 15th? I've not got details yet but saw a comment on a board, that they were doubled with two items on the list?
