1Ds Mark IV/1D Mark V Spec List [CR1]

[kubelik]

that is possibly the best concept camera I've ever seen. with a built in "money" button, there's no longer any reason not to shell out for the highest-end body on the market ... and the button to the left of it sure wouldn't garner many complaints either.

I'm suprised it doesn't have a side-mounted hotshoe

what would the price be on something like the 1d

5000?
6000?
7000?

i hope that they dont get greedy stretch it and goes much higher then 6000

I think that's the million dollar question. I can see either one of two scenarios playing out:

1) Canon sells the rumored 1D/1Ds replacement at the price point of the current 1D of $5K. The problem with merging the 1D line, then selling it for $7K, is that sports shooters accustomed to paying $5K for a 1DIV would have to pay a premium for features (full frame, extra MP's, etc) they don't necessarily want or need.

2) The 1D/1Ds replacement will fill in the price slot of the 1DsIV and sell for $7K, which will create a huge price gap in the model line between the 5D and 1D. This would set the stage nicely for more studio/landscape/portrait-oriented camera that packs just as many megapixels, or perhaps more, than the 1D, but in a smaller body with a simpler AF system and lower frame rate. Build quality would be somewhere in between the 1D and 5D, with dual card slots to boot.

It's just all wild speculation at this point, and hopefully Canonites will know something definitive within the next month.

1Ds bodies typically run $8,000 or thereabouts. I doubt if a 1DS Mark IV will be less.

Then i realy realy hope they will get something in the 4k-5k area. Or else i cant upgrade anytime soon.
