There is a report in from Finland that speaks to the lack of stocks of the 5D + 24-105L kit — and it seems that B&H are also out of this combination too. Has 5D production stopped? We are anxiously awaiting the next incarnation of that marvelous 5D. (Mine was stolen and I am still fuming over it a year later!)

Canon might still be trying to incorporate EF-S lens support in their ‘low end’ FF camera…whatever that means.

Now a PDF file has surfaced mentioning a 52MP sensor. Hmmmm

“We have developed a new CMOS image sensor having pixels of more than 52M in APS-H size. The CMOS image sensor has the most number of pixels known to date without stitching. The sensitivity of the monochromatic image sensor is 39000e-/lx?s. The sensitivity of the color image sensor (green pixel) is 16600e-/lx?s. Pixel size is 3.2um x 3.2um. Random noise is 5.5e- with a saturation level of 24000e-. The CMOS image sensor has 5 x 5 random block readout mode and 4(2×2) adjacent pixels averaging mode. The reproduced image shows splendid high resolution.”

Hmmmm
