Canon EOS-1D X Gets Permanent Price Drop

[Canon Rumors]

<p>It appears the Canon EOS-1D X is now permanently $5999 in the USA. This was the price of the camera after an $800 mail-in discount during Canon’s last round of rebates.</p>
<p>The new rebates for February no longer list the Canon EOS-1DX, so there’s no further discount beyond the new price.</p>

Nice! Gray market units have been cheaper for a while now.

And now they will get even cheaper ;D

I said it when the 1DC dropped $4k and now with the 1DX drop I will double down on it... those two models are going bye-bye to be replaced by a single 1DX2/1DXC/Whatever.

Good news So the upgrade is around the corner I assume?

Imho not necessarily - it's just that with the "premium" tag now shared with the new 5dsr and the high-fps 7d2 available, they have to re-evaluate their new lineup and lower the price accordingly. Last not least, the price drop of the 4k cine version puts pressure onto it from above.

Can we expect a similar further and permanent price drop for the 5d3?

Thanks Marsu42 The great points because I did see the Price drop in the 1DC I'm just curious because I'm thinking of purchasing the 1DX to go with my 5D Mark II & III.
