(No) Canon 5D Mark III

CANON C300 CINEMA EOS CAMERA

So Canon came out with this fantastic new line of camcorders called the Cinema EOS system. The first one announced, the C300 was announced today and will cost around $16.000,- Here's a clip that cinematographer Vincent LaForet made with the prototype. But you know, I really don't care how great the new Canon C300 is, unless they will use the exact same hardware and put it in a camcorder under $6000,- or a DSLR package for $2500,-...
Looks like Canon hasn't alienated from its large base of budget/filmers and/or DSLR-users and will continue to serve us. Here's a little excerpt from Canon's pressrelease that promises a new DSLR for filmers:

"Canon Inc. today announced that the company is developing a new-concept EOS-series digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Incorporating an enhanced version of the video-capture capability offered in the current EOS-series lineup, the new camera will be ideally suited for cinematographic and other digital high-resolution production applications. The model will be equipped with a 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor and, enabling the recording of 4K video."

CANON 5D MARK III (OR WHATEVER THEY WILL CALL IT)

Wonder how this camera will compare to the C300. It's hard to be succesful these days: not only do you have to compete with the competition, but increasingly with your own cameras as well... So... bring out the 5D Mark III, Canon and try and make me sell my Canon 550D and Panasonic GH2!
