The original price was ridiculous anyway. They couldn't have been selling very many at $11k.

Well you can expect that it won't fall below the price of a 1Dx, since that's basically what it is (along with a firmware update and beefed up internals).

Yep -- it has an added heat sink and a headphone jack. But now I kind of expect to see a new generation of 1DCs at NAB, hopefully with 10-bit, zebras/peaking, and a tilted screen, (and perhaps even a built in ND filter..).

The Yen has fallen in value

I am hoping the rest of Canon's prices will follow down

(I have a distinct recollection that the price of my 300/2.8 IS "Mk I" (You never see 'Mk I' anywhere, of course) tracked the Yen over the years) Lenses are pretty long-lived compared to cameras.

I shoot the entire last christmas party with only video light and available party light with this camera (as second shooter for the video person. He wanted me to capture the moment). The DR is so awesome.
If i had $, i would buy this .

At $7,999 with internal 4k, this camera is hard to resist now. I have rented one is loved the 4k image quality. Because of the strong low pass filter, the image looks detailed without that over-sharpened 'video' look. Workflow is very fluid as long as you edit it on Final Cut Pro X. It does not look good on Premiere without transcoding to ProRes first. (lots of banding and noise in the shadow areas).
The best image quality is from 4k and Super35mm but it's nice to have the 1080p 60fps slow motion as well.

That is the price it should have been from the start. Canon would have sold MANY more had they priced it like that since the get go.

Can I assume this camera is now close to EOL? Is there something new coming?

Sorry no $8k for a 1D C is still ridiculous. Not as ridiculous as $12k for a C300, but still, Canon's prices for anything primary intended to shoot motion are ab. surd.

My bet, if the new 5Ds has 4K video, it will hugely eat on the sales of the 1DC.
So most likely its a price reduction before a replacement will come at some time in the close future.

The thing is it doesn't make sense, other than they can get away with thinking they can charge more, with stick the improved video and 4k in a 1DX type body only as they do. Many people don't have to have 14fps and a giant body and all the extra expense and weight just to get 4k and better video.

Yes, Canon has totally lost the plot when it comes to DSLR video.
I'd almost imagine even Nikon getting a nice quality 4k in a DSLR of reasonable price and size before Canon now.

Absolutely ridiculous. But it is a typical strategy. Price it high in the beginning to capture the people (and fan boys) with more money than sense that have to have it, and in this case, the Studios with multi-million dollar budgets where an extra few grand here and there doesn't matter. Now that they exhausted those sources of sales, the price first came down from $15K to $12K and now down to "rock bottom price" of $8K (but still contains plenty of profit margin).
