Ah of course I forgot about good old rip off britain. Seems to be quite a price gap between the MKIII and MKII.

If those specs are true then it is quite a step up especially on AF points.

5D MkII is already 21.1mp so apart from increase in focus points (up from 9+6) and an extra memory card, what else is on the cards.

I'd certainly not consider an upgrade on the basis of better focusing, I can't recall having that many problems with the focusing now.

Apparently it is going to be announced on the 2nd of March, people are also speculating as to whether Canon will still continue to manufacture the MKII and drop the price.
