From past few days HOT rumors coming >> No more 1Ds Mark IV ??<<
Now what left in our hand is 5D Mark II….to make 5D flaghip camera Canon have to improve metering systems of current 5D, Weather sealed Construction, improved Battery life/size and a bit more Ergonomics like 1ds model.
CR and NL also talking about the upcoming medium format camera of canon…
Canon Pro70
AS Said by CR
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 user………
……………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).
As said by NL
A bit more info (thanks) on the follow up to the 1Ds3. The tight link between the 1D and ‘Ds’ versions is likely to be broken. The top camera will no longer be a 1D with an FF sensor/shutter/viewfinder, and is likely to have a different name.
Canon is aiming at competing much more with medium format.
