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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s most of the
time now. Both folks say if the 5D3 ups its build quality and AF,
they&rsquo;d never buy a 1Ds again. If it&rsquo;s priced at under $3000, a lot of
people will probably feel the same way.


The same person says it&rsquo;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&rsquo;s Take

We&rsquo;ve heard rumblings about this in the past.


Canon fans say all the time that they want Canon to be &ldquo;revolutionary
again&rdquo;. However, when a rumor points to a big departure (which doesn&rsquo;t
happen frequently), it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&acute;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

Were are you getting this information?

When I went to Japan, I met a guy nameFujio Mitarai at a sushi bar.We became good friends and he's been exchanging e-mails ever since. When I noticed that his e-mail address was "fujio.mitarai@canon.jp", I asked him if some details about future Canon developments, so he sent them to me. He's also been sending me real estate advice, such as what a good price would be in today's economy for a bridge. []

...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...

[HDNitehawk]

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.

Google says he's a noted bridge salesman based in London. I still don't get it. [:S]

[neuroanatomist]

No 1Ds IV? But wait, Roland...back in October, you said that you ordered one... [:S]

[HDNitehawk]

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

It now appears that Roland is a prophetic genius....
