More Big Megapixel Talk [CR1]

It wouldn't make any sense for Canon to price a DSLR that high.  You might as well buy a used hassy at that price.  I bet it will be under $5000 - if this rumor is true, of course.

well everything is possible.. it could be that this camera even has the rumored square sensor.

by the way im speaking from an european viewpoint.
the 1D X costs ~8500$ here already.
so it´s not such a stretch...

Yeah, you guys get screwed.

Not if you consider I make 65k a year as a seller in a store... we can always buy half off from the US

No, I still have one year full warranty. I even used it once to adjust my 300.

EOS 5HD or EOS 1HD. Depends on the body style.

i would really like to know where a simple sales clerk (no offense) in europe makes 65k $ ... not to mention 65k euro....

yep, my sister is a anesthetist. after 5 years of university and 4 years of work she earns 2600 euro a month, after tax.  thought it could be more if she finally marrys her boyfriend.

i know a media markt department manager in germany who makes 2100 euro NETTO.
that translates into ~25000 euro a year after tax.

I meant 65k usd, not euro. That would've been fun! And of course no offense taken, I am a sales clerk by choice, no responsibillty, good money, and I get to talk photogear all day with all sorts of weird, interesting, funny and knowledgable people.

[Canon-F1]

that´s still 4000 euro a month.....

How long until we hear about people who switched to Nikon wanting to switch back to Canon.....

Anyone been over at nikonrumors and hear what they complain over? It seems that the guys here love nikon more than they do...

I thought we had all gone over this many time before that a square sensor cannot exist due to mirror clearance issues (unless of course it is 24mm x 24mm, which would be pointless)?

in case you did not notice we just put a rover on mars. 
the easiest way is to make the camera mirrorless.

and hey im not saying canon will do that im just saying it is rumored.   

We do not only  put it on mars :-D  we put a freaking rocket powered flying crane on mars and lowered it from that   After letting it fly 563,000,000 km trough Space! Just 2,4 km away from the spot we wanted   That is just like hitting a hair  280 Km away

So let canon-engineers do there job and bring us something new! 
square-sensor ?  problem with moving mirror ? let it stay and make its reflectivity electronic controllable
you are skeptical about that? look at you automatic dimming rear mirror in you car ... its exactly that
 
 just  the tip off the iceberg off  what is physically possible

How many of these people are unknowns with no history to CR, and are just repeating rumors back with a little daydreaming thrown in?
