It's about time the 1.3x crop factor gets retired.

IMHO, Canon's release of the EF 8-15mm is an indication Canon is not planning to retire the APS-H sensor based cameras.

Finally, let us hope that we get a killer 5d MarkIII, with great DR, high clean ISO, 7D AF, 5-6 fps shooting capability with some improvements and a 2500$ price tag :)
I am saving every penny for next 5d Canon full frame.
Cu,

I wouldnt buy a 5D Mark II now. Why? Because Murphy´s law. If I bought one in less than six months there would be a 5D mark III out at the same price and 5D2 price would fall.

Flake:
There's something about a 5D MkIII before the 1Ds that just doesn't sit right. The current 1Ds is probably not as good as the 5D MkII in terms of absolute image quality, if a 5D MKIII comes out then many photographers will buy it, because then it will far eclipse the 1Ds MkIII and be Canons top camera. Inevitably this will take away from sales of the flagship model when it is released. If the release was the other way around Photographers would have a choice of a brand new flagship model which outperforms every other camera in the range, and for those who can afford it, there's no other real option but to buy it. A 5D MkIII give the chance for those unable to afford the 1Ds price to buy into something close (probably the same sensor I can't see Canon developing two different FF ones).
Having said that Canons marketing department have made some spectacular howlers in the past!
I terms of sales of 5D MKII and D700, both models are a little long in the tooth, but in todays economic climate it's hardly surprising that people are not spending big bucks on what many would see as a luxury.
