I&#8217;m excited about both these offerings and I only hope my pre-order went in early enough to get a hold of one of the Mark III&#8217;s when they ship!

I personally mostly use center spot focusing for weddings, it&#8217;s just easier to move the camera after grabbing focus than to change the focus point, but I can see it being useful for food and product photography. <\/p>\n<p>Canon&#8217;s also announced a new flash, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/847537-REG\/Canon_5296B002_Speedlite_600EX.html\/BI\/8667\/KBID\/9824\/DFF\/d10-v1-t8-x3-y22\">600EX<\/a>.
