I missed this a few weeks ago, but over at Northlight, they posted that there would be an EOS 5D C instead of a direct EOS-1D C replacement. This is said to be due to lack of sales for the $12,000 (at launch) cinema DSLR.
From Northlight
we're told that the ‘general purpose' 5D4 will come along with 5D C specialist video DSLR. 1D C sales have not been good enough to get the return on development of a new version.
That idea may shed some light on what we posted yesterday in regards to a test camera that shoots 4K in a 5D sized body. I'll say again, the source stressed that such a camera may not appear as a consumer product, just that it has been tested.
We will note that Canon has said themselves that they're going to make more focused products in the DSLR space, and not worry about pleasing everyone with every camera.
