#EOS5DMarkIII manuals available for download

The pocket guide and the instruction manual for the [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III[/shoplink] can now be downloaded from Canon’s USA site (click here to download).

I also heard that B&H will have the EOS 5D Mark III in stock starting by tomorrow, Friday 16th (click here to check).

And I found another preview of the 5D Mark III, by cameralabs.

Canon EOS 1D X ready for pre-order

Right now B&H told me that they have the Canon EOS 1D X ready for pre-order (click here). Price is $6,799 and it will start shipping by the end of April.

EDIT: Adorama is also accepting pre-orders for the 1D X (click here)

CPN (Canon Professional Network) has a good article about Frits van Eldik shooting an F1 event with a EOS 1D X. Have a look here to read about the technical specifications of Canon’s next flagship, or read this to get more insight. Canon’s 1D X page is still a work in progress (no manual for download yet), but for sure worth to have a look.

The guys over at techradar (video above) have a hands-on review with lots of details (click here to read). Another hands-on os provided by imaging-resource. And, hey!, even Wikipedia has an entry for the 1D X :-).

Maintenance notice

Dear Readers,

this was a weekend spent in maintenance and tweaking of the site. While most of the work was targeted to things that are going on behind the scenes (for instance: CanonWatch is now optimized for all major smart phones), I also introduced some new functionalities, like the box on the right column where you can register and login.

But there is another feature I built into CanonWatch, and that I hope you will enjoy and find useful. You can see the latest 20 pics shot with a [shoplink 1785 ebay]Canon G1 X[/shoplink] as they show up on Flickr, with a lot of information for each picture. The page (click here) can be accessed using the link in the “PicDroid”-box in the right column. As soon as the 5D Mark III will be available, I will make a similar page for this camera.

Thanks for your support!
