New pro bodies on the horizon?
I received an email today from someone in the Twin Cities area who works in a higher end retail environment. Apparently they were privy to some information saying both EOS-1 bodies would be discontinued soon if they hadn't already.

I tried to get this information better substantiated. No luck yet.

Both EOS-1's at the same time? Why not? They're basically the same shell with a different mirror box & sensor. The public opinion of the current Mark III's is less that desired. Canon doesn't currently have a flagship “wow” camera.

1D replacement? Yes.

1Ds replacement? I'm not so sure.

  2. “the ability to transform into a printer”
    and an iPod, cellphone, gps unit, and a beer cooler. :-P

  3. I have no Ef-s glass, not that I wouldn’t like some of it,
    just that I plan on going FF soon and Ef-s has no upgrade path… a dead end.
    now if Canon made the xxD line pro quality, with full weather sealing, pro AF, and a higher grade Ef-s line…
