1DS Mark 4

With all the rumors about the 1DM4 floating around...

Has anyone heard anything on the 1DSm4?

I am always game for a good rumor. (hopefully someone will post a fact somewhere in this)

To obsolete all those EF lenses, clearing the way for even more expensive glass.

With the chinese adversion to the numeral 4 I suspect the next model is more likely to be a Mark 5. Why limit your market?

Glad Canon is a Japanese company. They will leave 4 in there just to spite China.

btw, how is Vancouver. We were debating moving there.

if you like a good rumour so much, why don't you just make one up? After ll I am sure that's what most people are doing, and is probably what your likely to get.

From the Canon Rumors site
1D4 & 60D

I received an email that suggested select 1D4 and 60D’s are being tested with 3″ OLED screens. Most of the test cameras are equipped with LCD screens.

USB 3.0

1D4 to be USB 3.0 ready. The initial camera shipments may come with it locked out, and be later turned on with a firmware upgrade as the spec reaches the masses sometime in 2010.

note: I don’t have the technical knowledge to know if you can turn on usb 3.0 at a later date. If anyone has some insight, i’d appreciate it.

GPS & Wifi

The source says GPS will be built into the 1D4 and not the 60D. Wifi will be an addon product for both cameras.

Announcement
The same email states August 25, 2009 for the official announcement.

Nice. The idea of an OLED screen will be nice with respect to battery usage and viewal. It sounds like a move the camera companies will need to make sometime soon anyway.

They said that about the 40D as well.
