It should replace the 1D Mark3. I think there will not be a 1D Mark4 since too many Japanese are superstitious and believe the number 4 brings bad luck. Canon will simply rename it. I think also the 1Ds Mark4 will never be announced for the same reason, Canon will probably call il 1Dx or something similar (why not EOS 1D-f for "full frame"?). A third FF body in the xD series is simply unrealistic. So we could have: xD series: professional DSLR. 1Dx = FF; 3D = APS-H; 5D = cheap FF; 7D = APS-C. (There's room for an eventual 9D... cheaper APS-H?) xxD series: semi-professional (prosumer) DSLR. xxxD series: consumer DSLR. xxxxD series: entry level DSLR. EF f/2 zoom: I hope this one will finally be what I am looking for, a 35-70 f/2 L IS USM. Such a lens, although only a 2x zoom, would be fantastic, perfectly filling the gap between the EF 16-35 f/2.8 L II USM and the EF 70-200 f/2.8 L (II) IS USM. And it could be f/2 and yet weigh as much as the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM, or even a bit less. Moreover, it would be the fastest zoom lens ever, and we all know how much Canon enjoys being the first in doing something amazingly new... What a prodigious walkaround lens this would be, though only 2x! And wedding and indoor sport photographers would love it! I don't believe a 24-60 f/2 is realistic or practical because it simply would weigh too much. Full Line of EF-S Primes: It depends on how many lenses we expect a "full line of primes" should be composed of. I believe a FULL LINE of primes should include no less than 7-8 lenses. I don't think Canon will announce more than 3 EF-S primes simultaneously. But a 21mm, a 35mm and a 70mm would be fine to start with. Mirrorless Rebel: I hope this will soon come true. I had planned to buy the olympus EP-1 next year to be used with my many beloved old manual focus Zuiko OM lenses, but a Canon would be too cool! My guess (my wish!) is:

As for price, it is debatable. The price is based largely on the inverse of volume and cost. that is why the 50mm f1.8 is so cheap.

With companies touting the whole point of moving to lenses built for smaller-frame cameras being smaller and lighter glass, I'd like to see that happen in an EF-S prime lineup. I think Nikon's DX prime is proof enough that there's a market out there. Yeah, thanks for the snark in your comment, but 50mm on a 1.6-crop body is worthless for me.

Smaller. 2. lighter weight, 3 Can be a lot faster. this will make it to be a perfect "walk around lens. I would like to see Canon make a EF-S 28mm f 1.4 lens. or even a GOOD EF-S 28mm 1.8 lens for the APS-C. they can really optimize the design to take the advantage of a smaller ensor area.

This equal to the diagonal dimension of the sensor.It is equivalent to 45mm which is the standard focal length for a long time for the 35mm cameras. until SLR bumped the "standard" lens to 55mm due to technical requirement for the mirror box. As technology improved. They back it down to be 50mm. 28mm will be the “perfect” standard lens.

So it could easily not have a price increase. I'm hoping the 1D will stay at $3999 and toast the D3s. The 3D seems like too close to the 1D in price/features, unless they did something radical like make a super cinema targeted 3D with 4K recording and XLR inputs and a grip and LCD designed for optimal video handheld use I can't see why they'd make a 3D.
