We’ve been waiting a long time for the 5D Mark III; and finally, after years of rumors and waiting, the announcement is set for tomorrow.  Unsurprisingly, the full specs have been leaked and are as follows.  I’m a bit surprised there aren’t any specs for GPS – perhaps that’s still coming?

Thanks to Canon Rumors for the list
