Well, there is a chatter about new high MPx body:

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1210264

Ive read about above 32 MPx, 45 MPx and 47 MPx. Im sure there is market for such product and I think it could be a new line with 5D-like body. Probably announced sometimes early next year (I wont guess availability with Canon after 1D-X announcement/availability). It could have 4K video with high MPx.

Yeah, and the guy also said it was going to be a 1Ds Mark IV. That sounds plausible.

Hmm, camera labels are hard to guess. And thats not important at all (for me). For Canon it could be wise to announce 36+ MPx camera to quiet all chatter about small resolution...and...to "have more" than Nikon.

The 1DX will join my 1D4 for action shots

What I am looking for is a new, improved body to go alongside my 1DS3. I suspect the 1DX will manage the portrait shooting however I do a significant amount of static shots, where colour/metering is more important than either AF or FPS

A high mps body would give me the option of better prints above 16x12

OK I could go D800 but how are their TS lens? - perhaps a Canon body will be the best option methinks.

Here is my entirely speculative take on what might be happening.

The new FF body is the new 70D and will look very much like the 60D. It will have a touch screen, as will all future Canon SLRs.

The 7DII will debut a new APS-C sensor and will essentially be an APS-C 5DIII. However, it will retain and probably extend its fps advantage over the 5DIII. It won't have a pop-up flash.

The Rebel line will remain but, since the M now caters for those wanting compactness, the T5i will grow a little in size - not to the size of the 70D but enough to be considered the 70D's APS-C equivalent.

I must admit, my speculation is driven by my inherent desire for neatness! - simplified upgrade paths for 70D and 700D owners, while strengthening the reasons to own both a 5DIII and a 7DII.
