Saving for the 3d (if that's the name)? Then predict here what the price of the high-mp body will be!
POLL: How much $$$ will the high-mp eos cost?

Canon's high MP / high DR body does not have to be insanely expensive. Just cripple the FPS, give it 16 point AF and native ISO up to 12800. It won't touch the 5D3 sales, nor the 1DX.
This camera is ment to compete with the D800 / D800E, and therefore the price tag should not exceed 4K.
But then again, it is Canon we are talking about here. The camera will probably be overpriced.

I am curious about the wiseness of conducting such a poll, that any Canon employee can see for input from a biased group of consumers, albeit an important one for such camera....?

well that would be evil.... if in this case they care about our opinion.

If Canon uses the 1Dx body, $9000+ is a real possibility. Look at what they did with the 1Dc. Of course, then potential buyers will be able to buy a D800 body plus Nikon 24-70 and 70-200 lenses instead and still have money left over.
My guess is that Canon isn't that stupid and will use a 5D3 body with two Digic 5+ processors, for a cost of $4500-5000. However, I think 3FPS would be quite adequate. I've never understood the obsession with high pixel count and high frame rate. When I do landscape photography, my frame rate is measured in tens of seconds or even minutes. And most studio strobes can't recycle faster than 2 or 3 FPS (although the real limit is how fast electricity can be sucked out of the wall).

It's not a poll "at what price will you buy it?" but "what do you think the price will be?" and the latter assumes we know their practices and pricing policy but not always intend to buy.

For whatever reason, Canon costs a little more for the same specs when it comes to their bodies - this seems to be the case pretty much across the EOS line.
When it comes to lenses though, it seems to be the opposite.

Depends if you're talking about lenses from the good ol' times or the newest releases (tele primes, new 24-70L, 100L)... recently Canon is more expensive all over - even with the new €500+ flash.

What about Option #3 a new shaped body? After all, Canon may now wish that the 1DC was not identical in appearance to the 1DX. The fact that CR guy tells us that it will not be part of the EOS range i.e. a new designation could possibly mean that it might be radically different (e.g. bigger LCD with touch screen + fewer physical buttons). Who knows. 'Price' then becomes a moot point.

Geez all this $4500-$5000 is complete wishful thinking, just like when everyone thought the 5D3 would be $2500, it's what they wanted it to be. The 1DS3 was was like $7k or so when it was released, I think this new high megapixel cam will be just as high. Canon charged it before and got away with it, they're not going to sell a 46mp cam for $4500 out of the kindness of their hearts. Just think about that figure, 46MP, no way that's going to be a reasonably priced camera.
