1D4 Frame Rate
An anonymous email says the new 1D4 will be a 12fps camera. This is the reason it is staying APS-H.
60D
New battery and battery grip?
Apparently so.
The Bp-511 has been around a long time and is overdue to be replaced with a chipped and more expensive battery. A new battery grip will contain new ergonomic features. Those features are unknown at this time.
2000D
New source says the new Rebel will not have a tilt and swivel screen.

I'm in Cusco at the moment and having a wonderful time. I've only spent 1 full day here.
Thanks to everyone for the donations, I will post a pic of the kids you helped later in the week.

Well they did have the 1N-RS too that never got updated to 1V-RS because of the leap to digital, but I see your point. The first 1 series digital was the 1D, with an APS-H sensor, there was no Canon digital FF until the 1Ds came out. At that point Canon could have dumped the APS-H for FF but perhaps due to technical limitations of the time felt they could not both satisfy the demands for higher resolution and the speed for the different markets.
Now, I do believe it would be possible to make a high resolution pro body that could increase fps when dropping to lower resolutions, and also offering multiple choices for dynamic crop, but we will not see that camera because too many Canon users aparently do not want choices and prefer to keep lame sensors around like APS-H. It would be better for Canon to make only one pro body, higher production numbers decrease costs and increase profits, their reason to exist, but no, they wont do it because of all the APS-H whiners would cry because they dont want FF ever.
I WANT FULL FRAME, 20FPS, NO NOISE AT ISO 25 600 AND IT HAS TO BE UNDER 1000$

A 16MP FF 1DMkIV would have the same pixel size as the 1DMkIII, not the 1DMkII. If the 1DMkIIn sensor had been scaled up to FF, it would have had about 12MP and had about the same pixel size as the 5D and Nikon D3 and D700.
The thing is that a full frame, dynamic crop, sensor will sell more bodies, driving costs down. If you only sell to the crop frame market your missing out on a huge group of people who want pro full frame, have the $5000 to spend, but can’t make the jump to $9000 for an ‘S’ body. The five grand in the bank market has got to be over twice the size of the the nine grand market. If the difference between the extra engineering costs of a ff fast camera and an H camera are less than the potential gain of access to a larger market than it makes financial sense to create the ff body. If their is no gain then they’ll stick with APS-H. What we really want doesn’t matter as much as what we’ll buy.
lol, more truth here than I would like there to be
