Canon announced their new “enthusiast” level full frame camera –  EOS 5D Mark III on March 2, 2012. It is the replacement of the previous model 5D Mark II and although there are no many new features, Canon have listened to their customers and “fixed” the major things they were criticized for – auto-focus, weather sealing, shooting frame rate, etc.
I won’t describe the detailed characteristics of this camera in details as you can see those at so many places online.

As March hit the calendar, Nikon D700 prices started to drop down, as it was rumored before. First, they went down in Europe and it was followed in some USA stores now.

Nikon D700 is a legendary camera among Nikon users. It has been a preferred camera for weddings, landscape and all sorts of events, despite its low resolution of 12Mpx.
The camera stores started to lower down the prices with fear. The bravest of all was Cameta Camera, with their drop of $200 and Amazon with their D700 price of $2519.93.

On February 7, 2012, Nikon announced their new camera D800, which has the remarkable 36.4MPx Full frame (FX) sensor.

I will start with “I really wanted to hate this camera” cliche and I will describe the reasons for that below. At the moment of the announcement I actually “forgot” everything bad and I really think that Nikon did a great job with this camera. I’m looking forward to have one of those “miracles” in my hands as soon as they are available on the market. I already pre-order mine. Meanwhile you should hurry up and if you still didn’t pre-order yours – DO IT RIGHT NOW!!! Soon there will be a huge demand for this camera and if you don’t want to wait endlessly to see it in stock – better pre-order it now. You can do that at Amazon – for D800 here (sold out) and D800E here (sold out) or at Adorama – for D800 here and D800E here.
