1D Mark III & 1Ds Mark III Done? [CR1]

New pro bodies on the horizon?
I received an email today from someone in the Twin Cities area who works in a higher end retail environment. Apparently they were privy to some information saying both EOS-1 bodies would be discontinued soon if they hadn’t already.

I tried to get this information better substantiated. No luck yet.

Both EOS-1′s at the same time? Why not? They’re basically the same shell with a different mirror box & sensor. The public opinion of the current Mark III’s is less that desired. Canon doesn’t currently have a flagship “wow” camera.

1D replacement? Yes.

1Ds replacement? I’m not so sure.
