I was implying that the 5D series with high MP, pro AF and high FPS would be better than the 1Dx. Why would anyone want to spend twice as much?
And maybe I\'m mistaken, but didn\'t the D700 cannibalize the sales of the D3, even with less FPS than the D3.
Well 8fps is not 12fps or 14fps, 1D X has far better build, sealing, shorter blackout and lag, no doubt faster AF, smaller ISO range etc. It\'s probably more of a difference than between EOS 3 and 1V, but even if not, plenty of people still bought the 1V.
If I was a company I wouldn\'t really care how I achieved the bottom line. If I seel far more cheaper cameras than more expensive cameras and I end up with the same if not more money I\'m not worried. Don\'t forget a lot of the 1 series sales in the past have been artificial; many bought them because there was no choice really if you wanted the AF performance or speed.
