More FPS!
A possibility for the next 1D is variable FPS based on whether or not RAW or sRAW is selected.
“If the camera is set to sRAW 1 it will be able to shoot 12fps”
Movie Mode?
“This isn't a forgone conclusion. There is a 50/50 chance we may not see movie mode in the next 1D. If we do see it in a pro body, it will be the 1Ds4.”
CR's take: I think there will be some kind of movie mode in the camera, I don't expect anything more than what's in the 5D2.
Live View?
“A new live view technology exists, we're more likely to see it in a prosumer body.”
That's it for now

Why on earth do you want to put HD movie on stills camera ???? You cannot use both together at the same time -I work for Tv and a pro snapper – you fire the stills via email to the picture desk and you get your mini dv tape from a mini dv camera picked up by a dispatch rider to be edited they way the production editor wants it to be , Yes I understand there must be some use ,but only for a novice , if you are going to shoot an HD video via your stills camera you need a sturdy tripod and understand how to put a package together , or just use a flip camera , it is low res is possible to send via email, max 5 mins downsized in quicktime , otherwise the tv company will want to send a despatch rider to pick up the SD/CF card , a waste of camera space if you ask me -sorry about the rant !
Thanks Mark. I was afraid of that. Should have researched more before sticking foot in mouth. Obviously I don’t shoot w/a 1D but wish I did. : )
But it has already been done. It is trivial to add it to future cameras since the technical challenges you mention have been solved and presumably amortized in…what? five DSLRs so far?
Some people might argue that if the resultion is good enough you can shoot the video alone and grab stills from that. Personally, I can’t get over the lack of control and cruddy audio. But there’s no accounting for taste and those who just want as much functionality as can be thrown in.
