beyond that ... how about not making personal attacks on the forums here?

Agreed.
I've been monitoring the forum, and have removed posts with personal remarks as I find them.
Think carefully before you post, I don't like to interrupt a thread, but I will remove posts, or even ban someone if they continually post objectional material.
Do report spam, I remove it as soon as I find it.
Off topic posts should be avoided as well, it makes it much more pleasant for readers if you stick to the topic.
Thanks

While the future of the 1D line seems a bit foggy at the moment one of my guesses would be 22MP FF 1D V.
For sure, there will be a successor to the 1Ds as well. Both models are designed (not necessarily implemented) at the same time as they have impact on each other especially when the 1D MKV is FF.

The 1DIV is an 'n' version of the 1DIII, so no 1D Mark IVn.

although I find the rumor a bit strange and unbelievable as well, I disagree on the idea that the 1DIV is basically a 1DIII "N" ... a totally new sensor, fixed AF system, and video implementation? doesn't seem like a minor refresh, that's a totally different product

When 5D was introduced it was intended to be the affordable FF camera that was a good a compromise between pro-level and high end amateur. That is why it was such a big hit and sold so much… it basically catered to everyone and had something that was appealing to a wide spectrum of people with an affordable price tag. Canon will loose a’lot of customers if they decide to reposition this camera either way..too many extra features with a bigger price tag will push away hobbyist like me and lowering the quality to lower the price will push away the pro level photographers and videographers..5D walked a fine line and that is why it was such a success for Cannon..
I just want this camera to be updated so that it does not have outdated technology (like its outdated AF system) and maybe an improved video (a usable AF of some type in video mode would be really nice but not a must)... But I definitely don’t want anything crazy like huge megapixel count or 3k, 4k video..1D has its place and 5D has its own..Taking 5D to 1D level and leaving only the 7D as intro-pro level doesn’t seem like a wise strategy..
If Canon does go crazy with the price for the 5D and leaves no other affordable FF option then I would definitely consider a move to Nikon or Sony depending on what they come up with this year. Ohh and I hope it doesn’t take forever for Canon to release the 5D mark III..

I could imagine Canon releasing a 1DIVn by adding one little tweak...
Remove the APS-H chip and replace it with a FF one...
That's when we'll hear the cries for blood >:(

I think it's somewhat personal, so I'd say it is marginal update to my likeing.
Nevertheless, judgements are always based on something, here you go:
* I have hard times considering fixes as a step up. Fixes are malfunctionality which must (note modality) corrected
* Video seems just to be put in, it even lacks some flexibility which lesser models have
* the new sensor was complete disappointment for me, I expected a sports model concentrate more on the ISO front and more fruitful pixels (the smaller sensels in the MK4 are definitely better than in the MK3, but they could have been even better if bigger by using the same technology).
