High Megapixel Camera to Come in Two Variants? [CR1]

An unknown person has sent us a bunch of cryptic information about Canon's roadmap over the next 6-9 months. I have been unable to confirm any of it, but hopefully this post will help shed some light on things.

We're told that Canon will introduce a high megapixel camera in Q1 of 2015 and it will be released in two variants. What those two variants are wasn't mentioned. I do not see Canon doing what Nikon did with the D800 and D800E, I'm thinking that the second variant could possibly be an astronomy version, like the 60Da and 20Da. The other possibility could be an EOS and Cinema EOS version of the camera, and everyone can drool at the possibility of an affordable 4K DSLR from Canon.

It was also stressed that the cameras being talked about wouldn't be in the $8000-$9000 range like has been discussed recently, and likely cost half of that.

More to come
