<p><strong>New EOS-1 to launch in 2014

</strong>According to NL, Canon plans to launch a new EOS-1 in 2014, around the same time as a rumored Nikon D4x. This camera will be Canon’s first foray into the high megapixel realm for a DSLR. There will also be lenses to match launching at the same time as an EOS-1D Xs (name to be decided).</p>
<p>Apparently Canon does not want to launch this new camera the same way they did with the EOS-1D X. If you remember, Canon announced their flagship before Nikon’s D4, only to watch the D4 get announced and begin shipping before we actually saw an EOS-1D X at retailers.</p>

We can only cross our fingers and hope ...

 

[Maui5150]

So high megapixel? For Canon that means what? 24MP Might be pushing it... Prob closer to 23.8MP

 

[Kumakun]

I'm guessing it is going to be a little expensive.

 

[Ricku]

Like I said before. Canon's "Answer" to the Nikon D800 (and future D900, and the Sony A7R) will come as a big bulky elephant sized 1D-body, with a price tag that most people can't touch.

Oh Canon..

 

[LukieLauXD]

My dad has been waiting forever to replace his 1Ds Mark III since he wants a 1Ds instead of a 1D, but cameras are so expensive to replace anyways T-T I'm currently using a 5D Mark II and I'm going to be interested in upgrading to a 1D Mark 4 when the 1DsX whatever comes out.

 

[dolina]

The 1D X marked its 25th month and I am sorely looking forward to its replacement next year.

 

[TrabimanUK]

But will they be doing a white version?

Ok, then...but what are Nikon and Sony's "Answers" to the 5DIII, which has outsold the D800 and will vastly outsell the a7R? :

Why do people think Canon needs to play Nikon's game? The D800 was Nikon's attempt to play the game by Canon's rules (we'll see your 8-9 MP increase, and raise you by another 14 MP), and Nikon lost.

not that more MP would make a difference for your images....

25 months? How do you think us 7D owners feel?

How do you think the 1ds3 owners feel :

Oh Canon..

But it will have a fast AF system that actually works ;-)

When someone attacks a Canon body, you always resort to raw sales. That'S not very interesting.

Huge Mistake Dear Canon

A 1 series body with the traditonal 1 series size, weight & price tag will sell like cold hotcakes. If Canon intends to release a 5D3 X, then okay, maybe Canon isn't as stupid as I am thinking they are right now. Canon has been steadily leaking users to the D800E and now most likely to the A7r. This will be tantamount to the damn breaking.

We would all like to have a perfect, no-compromise body, having all components leading-edge, straight out of R&D, and using most current fab processes. Such a camera would be either unaffordable or unprofitable or both. The reason for the "raw sales" argument is to reiterate, yet again, that all manufacturers make compromises to keep their products profitable (not just the body, but the whole line). Nikon made compromises on the D800 (and D600), Canon makes compromises on their bodies. Those who are willing to accept the D800 compromises complain that Canon didn't make the same compromises (and the reverse is also true).

The "raw sales" argument is to remind you (and all the other D800 salivators) that not everyone will choose the same compromises and, in fact, you may be in the minority. Yes, yes: we can always argue about whether Canon's sales successes are entirely due to marketing, but I find it hard to believe that Nikon's marketing is completely incompetent.

In short, the "raw sales" argument means Canon (and Nikon and Pentax and Sony and...) are businesses who are trying to make a buck, they are not interested in creating your perfect body.

Yes, that's much more interesting than complaining that Canon won't sell a $10,000 "perfect" camera for $2,500.

 

[arbitrage]

Be prepared for the first $10,000 body that isn't in the cinema lineup.

This is what I'd call the "Canon stretch."

While the camera was announced (Hey, we've got a great camera we're going to sell next year!!!) in October 2011, it was not generally released for at least six months. As I recall, it was late spring last year when the 1DX finally went from breathless fantasy to reality.

Given their history I'd suggest you may be "sorely looking forward" for a long, long time.

The 1D X marked its 25th month and I am sorely looking forward to its replacement next year.

According to sales figures, their market research team has been doing an excellent job of predicting the market. No, I won't buy a 1-series body, but lots of others will.

Canon has been steadily leaking users to the D800E

Citation? Or is this just your unsubstantiated opinion?

I've long said most people seem to give Nikon more credit than they deserve for influencing Canon. Certainly Canon takes them into some consideration in their product decisions, but I believe there are many factors they take far more seriously than what Nikon may or may not be doing.

For Canon, I think Nikon is really no more than the neighbor's noisy dog.
