31st Over on FM there is mention of a possible October release date for the 1Ds3:
\"the 1Ds Mk III was scheduled for an October 1st release and the prototype with the best chance of making it to production had a 22 MP sensor\"
How that matches up with the IFA launch date we heard about (31st Aug) is another question, but knowing the way rumours and news travel round it could just as well be a date for the long awaited 40D, but probably not the 5D Mk2 or fabled 3D ;-)
This morning I had a London market research company on the phone wanting to know about cameras and my business. Seems that Canon UK are getting them phoning round UK photographers to ask about their cameras and purchase plans - so just in case it didn\'t come across in the interview \"Yes I do think I\'ll be buying a new camera in the next six months\" it is also \'not very likely/likely to be Canon\' :-)
If I was of a conspiratorial nature I might wonder why -my- business was seemingly picked as one of the first to call ;-)
Reports on the various Canon forums (DPR,FM) are suggesting that relatively few 1DMk3s have so far arrived in the UK \'only 50 units had come into the U.K. in the first shipment and that \"most\" of these had gone to the Reuters and Getty agencies.\' Don\'t expect to be able to walk in to your local store to buy a 1D3 for some months yet...
It seems too that if you really want a 1D3 then some are already appearing on eBay - presumably by people trying to make a quick profit, rather than those who got one and quickly decided they didn\'t like it :-)
