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...
I think you would be binning four pixels, right?

There are other ways to get there as well.
A thought: as mentioned earlier, a 1Dx model would have to be followed by a non-1-series camera with the same or similar sensor, since there is competition at lower price points from Nikon/Sony in the high-MP space.
BTW, I\'m not yet ready to drink the Kool-Aid on this \"rumor,\" though it doesn\'t seem completely outrageous in light of, well, a whole bunch of things.
