March 2nd – 5D3 / 5DX Announcement

Another round of 5D3 rumors are surfacing with Feb 27 (CR) / March 2nd (NL) launch date. Pretty much same specs, a  22MP, 6fps, 61 focus points (41 cross) same as 1DX system, 100-25600 Basic ISO 1024k dots LCD display 3:2 wide, Best Video quality in a DSLR (not again!). So far, there is no sign of 30+ MP sensor yet. With this specs, I don’t know how many current 5D II owner will jump into it and why?

However, March 2nd is Friday, pretty unusual for Canon announcement. Probably, March 2nd date is focusing on UK Focus show on March 5th.
