The Canon 5D Mark III is currently on special offer promotions from major retailers down to just $2975 (as seen here), so my guess is we might not expect another price drop until after January 5th. This isn’t as good as the previous [...]

The OEM BG-E11 Battery Grip for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III (seen here) runs for over $300 dollars, still out of reach for something I don’t think I would use very much at this time. I have had aftermarket battery grips for my 5D Mark II, 7D, T2i, and 60D to add more grip [...]
