Regardless of what Canon *might* do in the future, if the press release is to be taken on its face, the intent is clear: Canon has merged the 1D and 1Ds lines into the 1D X, which is exactly what I stated. Whether they may decide to offer something else in the future is not something anyone--even Canon themselves--can claim to know.
I realize that this move is unpleasant news for some people. But once the denial passes, the only thing left is the reality of the situation. I can\'t say I\'m a fan of it myself. But I call it like I see it, and the evidence has borne itself out. As I predicted, the 1D X is going to be a very expensive flagship body.
I agree completely... My \"guess\" is that the price will be in the range of $6500 to $8000.
Does this apparent platform merger mean that Canon will not be challenging the medium format market? (In terms of resolution and the ability for extremely large prints.)
It will be very interesting to see where the 5Dx series goes or whether a 3Dx line emerges. My own \"conjecture\" is that we\'ll still see a platform with larger pixel densities and a video feature set which could compete with RED on the low end...
