Just read Brian's news story about the 200-400, is that a 1DX or is it a mystery body?

There are two different bodies in the pictures: a 1Dx and an unreleased body. The first three pictures (I believe) show the 1Dx. The last three show the unreleased camera body.
Notice in the last three the on/off switch is on the control dial on the top/left of the camera body. Also, it has an unreleased battery grip (because it has a control knob on the grip). The camera also sports the lock button on the control dial.

Here is the link to the story.
The first appears to be the 1D X, as Sean said.
The second is a hybrid camera that combines both the 5D II and 7D in to one FF camera. Much the same way that the 1D X combined the 1Ds III and 1D IV.
If you are not satisfied with this answer let me know. I can make up another one.
Not satisfied. Try again. :-)Quote:

I think you are on the right track Rick, but I too would like you to try harder.
Perhaps a visit to a Sushi bar might unravel some answers, Daniel always got good info from Sushi bars.
Could this be the mythical 6D X that nobody is talking about?
I am sure Daniel will know. But he is probably sworn to secrecy as well. I would speculate the 5D III but it just doesn't make sense. Why would the new 5D III with its mediocre AF system and 32mp sensor be hooked up to a 600mm lens. Unless of course this fellow was just testing out the resolution on a lens that will probably be in the top 3 of Canon's sharpest lenses.Quote:

6D?...wouldn't that be the split camera that combines the 7D and 5D....6D is right in the middle ....
I think it's gotta be the 5D III..just my opinion..can't wait till I get to have a FF camera!
If it's a 7D II, where's the flip up flash? I don't see the line. Or, is my eye sight missing it?
The best guess is that it's the new 5D III. By the size of the camera, it looks to be a full-framer. It's also interesting that the screen looks to be a 16x9 ratio (or something close to it), which is another hint that it's a camera intended to be used widely by independent filmmakers.
Even if the 5D's autofocus won't be as full-featured or as fast as that of the 1Dx or even the 7D, who's to say they weren't testing a newer/better Al Servo algorithm? They could still improve the 5D's autofocus while still leaving a performance gap compared to other cameras. We all know a 5D Mark II successor is in the works; the evidence suggests this is a small glimpse.
I'm thinking of the 1D X 200-400 as my hiking, hand holdable rig. Any thoughts??? Monopod?? Or not with these guns!!
If you're in the market for a 1Dx and a 200-400, you don't need a monopod; your arms are already pre-conditioned by whipping out that 27lb wallet everywhere you go...
Therefore, you're steady as a rock.
That's funny, I don't think the wallet is that heavy, but it would probably need to be, to be in the market for that combo.Quote:
