Thinking it's probably the 5D III/X for both stills and cinema, or possibly the 3D. I don't think Canon needs a 9D, seeing as by their way of naming their products, it would be between the 60D and 7D. What would they do with it to make it worth buying over the 7D?? Hmmm... :-\

I honestly think it is a 3dx. If I read the article correctly, the image was taken on an African Safari? Logic would dictate that shooting an animal in the wild a camera best suited for this would have high fps rate which the 5d is not known to have. If the 3d comes to the market (praying that it does) I would think that Canon would create the 3d as a digital still camera (no video, high fps) and a new 5d (video, slow fps). Since I am a mere mortal, no psychic powers, it is just fun to speculate on what is coming next.

I'm going all in on a 5D Mark III for stills. It will still have the video recording capabilities of all the other recent DSLRs but I don't think it will be more geared towards cinema.

What is this insistence on Canon creating a camera without video? I can understand stills photographers frustration at R&D effort into DSLR video that could be spent on other features (but don't forget the extra revenue that Canon makes from video users), but to not have a feature in one camera in the range that is in all the others seems a bit daft. Video is not a feature that I use, but why would I object to something that is free? Does an extra switch/button that you don't use really bother you that much? You must seriously have a grudge against the almighty about the male nipple thing! :)

Yes maybe the poll should have been what do you WANT it to be. However I think we already know that most people want a next generation 5D.

Perhaps I was assuming that it isn't an APS-C 7D due to its large flashless pentaprism. That's why I didnt include it as an option. Also I assumed that terms Mk3 and MK2 signified the next generation of that model regardless of its eventual name. 3D and 9D might be a new generation / line.

The point of the poll is what do you think it ACTUALLY is regardless of your wants and needs ;D
