Buy 1DX now or wait for an upgrade?

If they do introduce a high MP body that is not a 1 series, then it will have to avoid stepping on the 5D3's toes.

<4 fps, and the 6D's AF system. Done.

yea that would sure do it all right.   It would be an interesting separastion of the market, i.e. come in both "above" and "below" the D800.

Now that magic lantern has supposedly hacked the 5D3 to deliver raw video that is comparable or superior to the Black Magic cinema camera at a similar price, I suspect even more 5D3's will be sold than before.

I finally got around to seeing "Iron Man 3" yesterday.  The 3D is a total waste here, in my opinion.  But I watched to the end of the credits on a friends' advice, since there's a mildy witty scene that pops up there.  I also noticed they credited Canon EOS as one of the camera systems used...I assume they used the 1Dc, or something else?

yea it will be interesting to see if Canon produces a 6D-"ish" big megapickle body.  Assuming better sensor technology, the implication would be that such a camera would equal or outrun the 6D in every way, which means it will either kill the 6D or be priced accordingly.    But with a higher price would come increased expectation for, or frustration with the low end AF, which is an argument in favor of something better.  But it can't be too much better than the 6D because the 6D is already Canon's statement of separation between entry level FF and 5D3, and such a camera can't kill either of those.  Is there room for a FF body "in between" 6D and 5D3 without killing either?
