Now if Canon would only change the name of this camera to "5d3" and the curre "5d3" to "6d" everything would be in order. :)
So I guess Canon is moving away from hardware, look out Microsoft!!!
Does it steal souls too. If so, I am in.
This shouldnt surprise anyone, I understand the Canon 5dIII team has been doing significant research into replacing the locking metal mount and using tape to mount lenses on the 5dIV and then doubling the price.
Zvonko: they just shouldn't ever make ugly red ones
It is a very clever attempt to avoid cannibalizing their other products. As evidenced by the responses here, merely changing to an unusual color will put off a lot of people who have money, dont think cameras should be red and dont mind spending more money for a black camera which may even have lower IQ. Brilliant!

Try a coating like Krylon 1311. PITA but its only like $8 a bottle. By the way, laser print usually cracks when paper is folded, though I guess there may be new technology there for color laser printers.
