Canon to Announce EOS 1Dx?
According to Peter Sills of digitalfocus.net, Canon will announce an updated version of its EOS 1D digital SLR at the end of August.
“Canon will shortly announce a new camera, called of all things the 1Dx. According to our own sources, this new camera will be a refresh of the venerable 1D and will feature an improved 8 mpixel sensor, but the same FOV crop as the 1D. Framerate will remain unchanged as the camera gains double the number of megapixels.
Expected announcement is end of August - early September.”

Also this will mean an excellent time to buy used 1D cameras from those owners who will be upgrading. In many ways the 1D is better camera than a 10D. I just might buy a used 1D.

Just remember Bill that this is still an unsubstantiated rumour!
Although these things do seem to have a surprising habit of coming true.
