Canon 5D Mark III UPDATE Announcement

We previously wrote that the announcement for the 5D Mark III would be set for Monday/Tuesday Feb 28th but it now looks to be for Friday March 2nd according to CanonRumors.com. The specs may be surprising as the megapixels only jump from 21 to 22. The autofocus gets a makeover closer to its older sibling the 1DX with a 61pt system. The item that we're excited about is the dual card slot: one compact flash and one SD. Also, we should see a major reduction in noise levels that will be on par with the newly announced Canon 1DX. As with anything, time will tell for sure.
