EOS 1D X announced?

Http://www.canonrumors​.com

Go now!!

18.1 megapixel
14fps (are you kidding me?)
Built-in Gigabit Ethernet (again, are you KIDDING me???)

If that is the true press release, this body sounds like a beast.

I'm scared to see how much it will cost.

Me too! REALLY scared!! And how much it will weigh!

14 fps

wow!

Dual DIGIC 5 processors...

With all the specs, I bet it's in the $5,000 range easily.

EDIT: canonrumors.com has all the specs in a list now, this thing is a MONSTER!!

No it will be around $8000

Interesting, can't wait to see the full spec list.

And more important for me, the trickle down to bodies I can actually afford.

Specs:

Full Frame
18.1MP
Dual DIGIC 5+ – 17 Times The Processing Power of DIGIC 4
ISO 100-51200 Native
100,000 Pixel RGB Metering Sensor
EOS iSA (Intelligent Subject Analysis)
61 Point AF
21 f/5.6 Cross Type Sensors
20 f/4 Cross Type Sensors
5 f/2.8 Cross Type Senors
EOS iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking & Recognition Auto Focus)
12 Frames Per Second
14 Frames Per Second JPG Only
400,000 Shot Rated Sensor
Ethernet Connection
March Availability

With APS-H being discontinued and the 1D lines being merged, I would have hoped the 1Ds III would be a starting point. If the specs are correct, it is a step backwards in some respects.

I think most people thought the MP's would be higher, past 21 like the 5d2. But can you see someone trying to walk around with an Ethernwt cable hanging from the body?

There's a large Canon CPS event on tonight in Auckland. Coinciding with the end of the Rugby World Cup - I wonder if they will reveal anything tonight?

If they do, you BETTER let us know!

I thought that was odd too. For one thing, an Ethernet interface is rather large compared to mini USB or HDMI unless they use a dongle like those old PCMCIA Ethernet adapters for laptops about 15 years ago. Maybe they mean wifi instead.

14 fps

Only 14 fps JPG with the mirror locked up. 12 fps regular.

Why such a price hike? It'll be $5999.99. Switching from aps-h to 35mm sensor does not add $2000+ to a camera! It's not Canon's flagship model, a 1Ds4 will be $8500.

This is not a merging of the 1-series (no the 1D series since here is the 1D and the 1Ds). Wait for a high pixel count 1Ds4 next year. They might try to spin this as something more than it is (a 1D5) to get pros to buy this and then also get them to buy the 1Ds3 replacement (high pixel count) next year. Similar to how Nikon brought out the D3H (calling it the D3) and then the d3x a year later.
