All my main point is, is that because the competition has their high mp sensor in the D8xx series (and not yet, if ever, a D4X pro body), it would make more sense for Canon to follow suit and put theirs in a 5D body.
I doubt anyone in this thread believes that Canon will not release a high MP 5D4 at some point but they\'re a business first and foremost. If they can get people to buy a $9K body with superior build in advance of a more affordable 5D4 more power to them. Other companies would love to be in that position.
Also, there are many people out there that like the ergonomics of the 1D bodies.
Bah, I hate 1D ergonomics...stupid big, ugly, heavy, over priced bricks Just kidding, I\'ve had two 1D bodies and loved them both. The 1DX is truly superb and I actually feel priviledged to own one. To be honest if Canon release a very high spec, high mp, bells and whistles 1D for $9k, I\'d be more than happy with a circa 30mp, 14-15 stops of DR 5D body, if Canon released that so as not to step on the 1D\'s toes. Obviously all this is speculation and we have no real idea of what Canon is up to. It is pretty though, to think that Canon might have some great new products heading to the market in the near future.
