The hits keep on coming.
It has recently been suggested to me that there will not be a 1Ds Mark IV at all.
The 5D Mark III (or whatever it’s called) will be aimed to take over the market for 1Ds users.
I know a couple of 1Ds3 users that are using 5D Mark II’s most of the
time now. Both folks say if the 5D3 ups its build quality and AF,
they’d never buy a 1Ds again. If it’s priced at under $3000, a lot of
people will probably feel the same way.
The same person says it’s possible that a new camera at the top of
the lineup aimed solely at the medium format market, but not a medium
format camera, will come to fruition. The design will be a radical
departure (possibly modular).
CR’s Take
We’ve heard rumblings about this in the past.
Canon fans say all the time that they want Canon to be “revolutionary
again”. However, when a rumor points to a big departure (which doesn’t
happen frequently), it’s generally put down for being untrue or
unrealistic.
I have a lot of trouble seeing a point to the 1Ds line as its
currently implemented, I’d say a radical departure is a strong
possibilit <span style="color: #ff0000;"]cr
If so what would the price for a 5 D Mark III be. Or will there be a 4 D Mark I in order to keep features and price of the cameras in the right order. Let´s see what comes out.

This is true! I also have a source of inside information on this that confirms the 1Ds4 is being replaced by a 5D3. Also, they

No 1Ds IV? But wait, Roland...back in October, you said that you ordered one... [:S]
Re: No 1Ds Mark IV anymore but a 5 D Mark III instead.
I think the 1Ds IV will have the muched talked about 32mp. They will tote it to compete with Medium Format.
It will be priced accordingly at a suggested retail price of $16K, and you can buy one of the new 400mm tele to go with it for $11k and a person will be set for all his high quality 400mm imaging needs.
Now instead of comparing Canon to Nikon...we will be comparing Canon to Hasselblad
Also...I want two $10,000 cadillac

...and just in case Daniel-san's dry, acerbic wit was still sufficiently opaque, just for kicks try Googling the name of his 'friend' from Japan...
Re: No 1Ds Mark IV anymore but a 5 D Mark III instead.
Its a reliable source, I read it on the internet so it must be true.
I still want my $10,000 cadillac. I may need to go to a diffrent dealer in town. They were kind of rude when I called earlier and told them what I wanted.

Yahoo Maps says its a 7 hour and 9 minute drive. I bet if I call them they will deliver.
But...letsthink about this a second. For $1000 more I could have the new 400mm L II.
I just realized Canon lenses now cost more than cadillacs [:@]
