Oh, and the new one better come with a microwave otherwise many people will be disappointed
You make a good point. The 5D is a great camera, and will the new one, if there is a new one, have the same image quality?

I have a 5D and a MarkIII. I'm selling my MarkIII and getting another 5D. Nothing wrong with the MarkIII, just not shooting action shots as I anticipated.

So, do I get a 5D now, for a great price, or wait for the new model, that may have some more bells and whistles, but no substantially better IQ? And, will there be a run on the current 5D, if the new one turns out to have some sort of AF problem, or other problem, leaving me wishing I had gotten the original 5D?

I'm inclined to hop over to B&H, get a 5D since I know it is a camera proven to produce great looking pictures.

The next best thing is better...ONLY ... if it is really the next best thing.
