Canon 5D Rumor

Relevent Posts: Rumoured Specifications for the Canon 5D ii and New Release Date Rumours
The plot thickens! The German Canon website has accidentally uploaded a 5D Mark II on the website. Whether this is just to play with us or a nice marketing ploy which has been successful in the past then time will tell.
I’ll be interested to see if the model will be called a 5D Mark II as if its not a 4D then I guess that leaves the possibility to develop a cheaper fullframe camera later. This would remind me of the 350D and 20D in the past where the 20D was slightly better.
I’ve been surprised how much interest there really is floating about as I’m getting around 200-300 hits from google type ins looking for information regarding the new 5D.
In English ‘“The EOS 5D Mark II with full format CMOS Sensor with 16 megapixels. 6.5 frames per second and innovative DIGIC III Processor. Small, inconspicuous, lightweight and handy but still robust. Water-resistant construction.”‘
As for the naming… They kinda dug themselves a hole, in that they cant do what they have done with the X0D and XX0D lines as theres not really enough numbers available to have much of a lifespan. I reckon they will keep going with the MkII, MKIII etc names, unless theres a huge model change.
But then would they not become 2D and 6D? as the X0D and XX0D have always gone up in number?
Hmm
