"22nd An interesting comment (thanks) that says that the new higher MP camera will appear a year or so after the 5D3, so next spring is suggested for the launch. The emphasis was on a 'studio' camera to recapture ground from the D800, and that Canon were acknowledging that the 1D X was not it.
Just what defines a studio camera wasn't clear. I also asked if this meant a 'real' 1Ds3 replacement, but was told that if I wanted a 1 series body, then the 1D X was it... not unexpected, but I was perhaps still holding out a glimmer of hope :-)"

a studio camera? low fps, very high quality/detail at low iso…i guess that's a studio camera

good colour reproduction/depth at iso100; integrated RT-600 trigger with flash sync at 1/500s, or a line of LeafShutter lenses?; RC6 compatible (why is the 1DX not?); maybe not weather-sealed for moisture, but shock-proof for when the work-experience kid trips over the tripod?

A 3D line actually makes sense to me.

There will NEVER be a "3D" line, unless, of course, it actually takes 3D pictures. So, it will most likely be a 2D or a 4D.

Um, ok.

it would be nice if it could do a 6fps crop mode like the D800, that makes the D800 infinitely more of an all around camera, it's not just studio or tripod landscape only

and the dynamic range is key

very interesting, I thought that it would come sooner than that eg. Photokina
