Interesting...... though for a model higher than 5D wouldnt be a number lower than 5?
not necessary.
MAYBE there will be also a 3D with a reworked 16mp ff sensor from 1Ds2, with a slight better AF (15 points maybe), with 6-8 FPS or something like 6 FF frames and 8 crop mode frames per second, partial sealing, new features that came on the new generation of cameras (microadjustment, live view, wifi, etcetcetc)....
in large lines a camera ALMOST similar to D3 from Nikon, an advanced FF camera without resolution and series1 construction, W/O incorporated grip and other profi features ....
i call that an ALL ROUNG camera for those who want a single camera, decent for allmost any type of work ...
some FPS very useful for playing kids or animals. FF and resolution for landscape and studio work..partial sealing and solid built for rougher situations, not the same of 1 series though....
a "mutt" . part camel part elephant camera...
this way, with a price similar to a used 1ds2 , 3500 $, offering the new features (live view, better high ISO performance, more FPS, menu, microadjustment, etc) Canon would shake Nikon D3 market (especially those who own a Canon setup and thought to switch to nikon) and would offer an alternative to those without great needs of top performance and without enough money who would have buyed a used 1Ds2 instead.....
i think THAT would be the first really smart decision from canon after Nikon anouncemenet....
tehy would offer an allround camera.
7D would become at the 2000$ rumor price the entry level, plane simple FF camera..12 mp, simple AF, low speed camera....around 2000-2500 $
3D would be all round camera, with a little more from everything...canon takes the money from 1Ds2 profi users who want to sell....they compete somehow with nikon D3 market....they keep those who were interested in such a camera, FF, lots of fps, etc...with a cheaper camera with some advantages , for example resolution.... around 3500-4000 $
1D3 dedicated PJ camera...1.3 crop factor very well come fo long tele PJs incredible speed, 1 series AF (hopefully resolved), 1 series built , new battery, new lineup of accesories , transmitters, etc....
1Ds3huge resolution in a profi 1 series body....
really, i do not think this presumed 3D would steal buyers from 1D3 because it will not have the same built, batery capacity, energy eating by the camera, etc...
maybe it will determineSOME photographers not to buy 2 cameras instead of one (let's say 1D3 and 5-7D, one for action and one for studio or landscape) BUT after all the MARKET force them to offer such all round good for everything and best for nothing speciality camera.......
and facing the choice of loosing market and prestige or having more models in production and service maintainance(spare parts needed also for older models...) and loosing some sales they had until now by forcing people to buy a camera for each type of work they do (1D for AF and speed, !ds for resolution for example) i think they will choose to offer such 3D camera...HOPEFULLY

, sorry Henry...in keeping with the "original" a pop up flash won't be offered.
