This is flawed. Your 3DX models are 1 fps apart and 1.3vs 1.0... Come on, you really think that even in fantasy land a company is going to retool for that?
The 7D at 1500 with more MP and better IQ??
The only one that's reasonable is the 1DX at 6500. Given the 6K tag of the D4, I foresee them lowering the price.
I know some people will switch to the D4 for the feature spec and offerings of other Nikon bodies.
Of course it's flawed because you can't please everyone, they should actually both be 10fps but then you would have stated that it's even more flawed or unrealistic, so I kept it conservative. So let's hear your lineup then, because we all know you are a genius...

It's not that they can't do it, they won't do it. Not in this next generation of bodies. Maybe in 2014. The 5DII came out at $3K when it was introduced. And its AF is a joke.. Why would Canon finally do "the right thing" for $500 more? With the 1Dx merging 2 product lines, that does put a gap between the prosumer stuff and the single pro body. That makes a 3D very plausible, but it would likely start with a $4xxx IMO.
I have no issues with the 5d2 AF. It's been very accurate for me.
I voted for what you've called 3DX, and I literally would buy one pretty quickly if it became available at that price. I also like the concept of the 5DX, or an even higher MP version, but that would be a much lower priority, and I probably would not buy one until a year had passed and my computer system was upgraded.
I voted for 5DX. But I think if the 1Ds III had a high-res LCD, that would be my ultimate choice.
When I clicked on this post, I was envisioning lenses; I'd have voted for 24-70 f2.8L IS, 135 f2L IS, and 400 f5.6L IS. I'd buy any of those tomorrow. I have all the other lenses I want.
Given the 1Dx and G1x are the only real cameras I voted other. Keep the money in my pocket until I see a real camera not rumored or imaginary one I would be happy with. I like the 1Dx but I prefer using a smaller body size (5D,D700, etc).
I hope that Canon would announce a smaller FF body, call it the successor of the 5D Mark II and they can call it whatever they want, before the 1D X becomes available in April. If they do, then I will cancel my pre-order for a 1D X and wait a little longer for that camera. To be honest, the FPS rate of the 1D X is way over kill for my need anyway. I like the idea of being able to use high ISO settings but I am happy just with a clean ISO 3200 setting.
28 MP for the high MP crowd? You must be joking. 24 MP is over 3 years old, and 28 is barely noticeable over 21.
I voted other. FF mirrorless camera with at least 36 MP. A new mount that would fully support the EOS mount via adapter, but also support the Leica M mount via adapter, for use with 35 mm rangefinder lenses.
