Title: Canon 5D* New Model, magazine corroboration of rumored specs
Post by: BJL on March 01, 2012, 09:05:15 pm: Those specs seem mostly corroborated by this French magazine page image:
http://g3.img-dpreview.com/FD377A1ABF6E4474A8D20FD8304D527E.jpg
which seems to be originally from the French magazine Photo, so I should credit their site http://www.photo.fr

The image is in this thread with some translations:

My guess: the pixel count has been increased just slightly from the 5616 x 3744 of the 5DMkII and 1DsMkIII to precisely 5760x3840, for video-related reasons.
