So either you are an evil troll .
Have gone mad .
Are breaking an NDA and about to get sued for 300k .
Or Canon is nervous and wanted you to leak this info to give people some hope (although they really need talk about yes we will improve DR and won't skimp on 4k and will get this stuff into a non-10k 1Ds body next year too (although maybe they dip 1Ds to 5k range) if they want to assuage people's worries and thoughts of just nabbing A7R/A7S/D810 and such now) .
So this is supposed to happen at the PhotoPlus International Conference there? Why didnt it happen at Photokina? What is the thought behind the release at a different venue?
I'll admit to being let down by no announcement at Photokina of a high MP body. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I am really jonesing for something from Canon to match or better the D800/810. The 7D2 is a nice development, and paired with a new FF body, it would pretty well cover all the bases for me.
We'll see.
Meanwhile, I'll inventory what I could sell off to help finance a new mega-DSLR from Canon!
Yes, I would imagine we will see the updated 100-400 as well as it makes more sense to release a $2500 zoom with a $9K high MP 1D then a $1800 7D2. I knew Canon had something up it's sleeve.
I think there is a very reasonable possibility the 1DsX will be exactly 44.7 megapixels or 8192x5461 pixels.
That is to more easily implement 4K video. The 4k production standard is 4096x2160. If you have an image sensor of 8192x5461 it is a much simpler to bin two pixels to one and end up with an image size 4096x2731 which is just a simple crop away from 4096x2160...
