Very skeptical. It would have to be something very revolutionary to make me want to upgrade my 5DIII.
Only thing that comes to mind that would tempt me would be using DPAF to eliminate the need for AFMA – Camera looks at the on-sensor focus and then calibrates the lens to get precise focus through the viewfinder.

Numbers 1 and 2 would be great. Your number 4 item is odd, who here would want dual SD only? I'd venture to say most, if not all, users with cameras at this level are well invested in CF cards.

Both nikon D4/s had glow in dark buttons. Olympus slr was the first one to come with glow in dark buttons. (Image taken from fstopper)
I would like to see Cfast 2.0 card slots instead of cf which is ageing memory card standard.

Mate get real - you pretty much want a 1D-X level camera. Canon aren't going to give you all that in a 5-series. Even the dual CF slots looks pretty exclusive to the 1-series. Cameras like the 6D show a willingness to dumb stuff down between models and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Nothing in that list says I need a 12+ FPS, All day battery, Ridiculous ISO performing, Large gripped sports machine gun. I expect the 1Dxi to deliver much more than that list.
No that list completes what already was darn near a perfect wedding/portrait/studio camera.

I think it's intentional crippling - if the SD slot had UHS-I, it would compete with the 1D X's 2nd CF slot.

I'd love it to be the case. I have the 5d2 and the upgrade to the 3 wasn't worth it to me so the mark 4 will definitely be on my radar.9VIII said:

Totally nailed the refresh on each of these cameras! Now the fun part....
I think the 5DIII is an excellent camera. But I think they failed big time by not having built-in WiFi and removable focus screen. How can they make it better? Resolve these two issues. If it has built in WiFi, have dual CF slots. None of this SD silliness. Built in *** would be nice. A built-in transmitter/controller for their flash units as someone mentioned earlier. That's an excellent idea. Minimum three groups to control. Five would be better. Better ISO performance and maybe a stop higher on the top end. Maybe an extra stop better in color dynamic range. USB3/Thunderbolt. I don't care much about video... But I think they'll have 4k in it....
The 5DIII is an amazing camera as-is. I think it would take a huge improvement and fantastic new functions for people to upgrade.
I would love to have a 1DX as my workhorse, do-anything camera. The refresh would have to be something out of this world to make make it a worthy update. Built-in WiFi and ***. An extra stop in upper ISO performance would be nice. But I would rather see SUPERIOR ISO performance from 100 - 50k. Built-in radio transmitter/controller for flash units. Remove the network connector and replace with USB3 and Thunderbolt. Color dynamic range and sharpness that is approaching Medium Format. Again, I couldn't care less about video so... But I think they'll have more and improved video and this will require CFast.
I have a feeling that with the new uber-lenses from Zeiss and Sigma, that they had insider information on Canon's latest. Yes, the Nikon D800(x) can take advantage of these lenses. But that's a tiny tiny market. So in terms of sensor performance, I'm hoping we'll see tech. that will take us into the next 5 -7 years.... Like the previous sensors.
Since it looks like the big MP is not going to happen after all, I think they are going to make the 1DX upgrade a little more suitable for fashion/landscape photographers. The 1DX. Maybe the best overall DSLR in the world. Is really a sports shooter's camera. Sure it's good enough for other uses. But Medium Format is the future for certain pros.
The new Pentax 645Z is currently the in-between camera. Similar AF and ISO performance of the better DSLRs. Better image quality than a top DSLR, but not like the Phase One or Hassy. And certainly cheaper than the Phase One and Hassy. If I was a full time wedding or event photographer, I'd probably go with the Pentax 645Z. Even with the bucks a wedding photographer can make, having a couple of Phase Ones would be crazy money. But two 645Zs is totally doable. And the wedding business is HUGE. If Canon wants to keep and grow their market, they gotta compete with MF.
It's going to be a tough 6 months!!!

Looking at the Northlight website and going back quite a few months there seems to be a lot of "throw mud at the wall and see if it sticks" going on.
I'm sure replacements are in the works. When will we see them is the question...so in the meantime enjoy what you've got.

If this rumor will come true it will meet my expectations on the Canon DSLR roadmap.
For all those complaining about Canons sensor tech I am hoping, that this new tech will be really improving and maybe then they could be a little bit more relaxed. But I don't believe they will
If the sensors will become that good, I hope the price will be too high for me to be tempted or low enough that I can afford it. But the least I don't expect

Could you please update the text, because there is already a 5D Mark III.Canon Rumors said:
Some of the specs here in the wish list for the 5D sounds like too much for the 5D, but think, it will take at least one year (2 years are more realistic) for the arrival of the new cam. Today only a few people needs 4K Video, but in two years it's like the same with Wifi today. The 6D is the lower cam, but has got Wifi, *** and the amazing -3ev AF, which the 5DIII has not inside.

Don't forget that northlight said that the release of the 7D2 was only a month or so away....... And announced that a year and a half ago..... With a spec list that was inferior to the 70D and no mention of DPAF. I don't believe anything they claim.R1-7D said:Looking at the Northlight website and going back quite a few months there seems to be a lot of "throw mud at the wall and see if it sticks" going on.

The roadmap for the 1DX update might be a bit different than previous 1D cameras; the biggest difference is there is no crop sensor anymore. It's a reasonable assumption that developing a full frame sensor takes more resources and is therefore less likely to receive as frequent updates as in the past when compared to previous 1D models. Of course, this is just an assumption.
In my own opinion of the matter, what's the point of rushing an update? Nikon just updated their D4 with the D4s, but the 1DX is still arguably current and still has superior frame rate, autofocus and resolution. It's also selling better than Nikon's offering. No point in updating if you don't have to.
There's always an update in the works. When the iPhone 6 launches in September you can bet your buns Jony Ive has the 6s already planned out. With the 1DX, despite being announced in October of 2011, it wasn't even in stores until late June or July of 2012. Even if a new 1D body is announced (which I doubt for this year), it will most likely be a good six to nine months before we actually see one available for purchase.
My own guess would be late 2015 or early to mid 2016 for the new 1D. Like I said before, enjoy what you're currently shooting.
