Some interesting rumors about Canon's future plan.

Canon Future Release (http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html)

[rae128]

is it really necessary to have a right and left handed dslr? im sure that a left handed dont have a problem with the current standard shutter button placement... im not sure whether canon really want to do dat. Bigger than FF? IS is a standard in the future? hopefully the price of current IS lenses will drop quarter of its price or maybe half!... hehehe.. eyeing the 70-200 f2.8L IS.... :tongue_roll:

All I can say, the people at Canon are working hard. I hope the 1Ds MkIII will break new grounds!
