Canon announces 22mp EOS-5D Mk 3...and hey it's got a direct print button!

yeah well i could do without the direct print button, and once again canon disregards the pre production reviews, all the ones i read flamed canon once again over the lack of an easy way to lock up the mirror. but having said that, i have spent since 0800 this morning reading every review of the preproduction models i could find online. and i then did something i have never ever done before, that's right i clicked on through to b&h and preordered a very expensive camera that's not even available yet. why you ask? well this is the upgraded auto focus system that i've been waiting for, in a body i want, i anticipate doing some more motor sports shooting this year, and i was even considering a 7d body just for that reason. but now it seems my needs are being met. so if this is in my hands by 7/1 it'll be ready for mid july motorcycle racing, maybe some sprint cars. and this will be making the trip to pixelmania for certain. i'm pretty sure b&h wouldn't be accepting orders already if they did not have some sort of firm delivery schedule, i don't know where i am on the waiting list, but maybe since i ordered so fast i won't be too far down the list
 
I may be following your lead Gary. ; One feature I was hoping for in this camera is the ability to move the spot metering from the center area to another AF point. The 1DX has it, but I don't think I care to spend another $3000+ for that capability.
 
I will be posting a B&H preorder link shortly. ; Stand by!

I very well may forego the 1dx in lieu of the 5d3. ;
 
and... ; can we get rid of the darn direct print button already!? ; MIRROR-LOCKUP!
