Oh yes, because every image you see in books, magazines, on web pages, in advertisements, in news papers, on billboards, on the packaging the camera you bought was created by one guy. There is a huge number of professional photographers, studios, news agencies, ad agencies. And each of these are likely to but huge times more equipment than your typical advanced amateur with deep pockets. In the scope of things, my studio is very small (I just work for a medium sized museum producing images for publication,) but there are a lot like us, and a lot larger ones.

I have a friend/colleague at a corporation that has 3 or 4 magazines, publishes books, has several product lines than need photography for packaging and advertising, produces TV and DVD content, god knows how much web content, and a ton of images produced for corporate news letters and annual reports to investors and stock holders. And this is not even a Fortune 500 company. Wanna guess how many cameras they have just for studio use? (hint: it's a lot) Wanna guess how many other companies just like them are out there? (hint: it's a lot)

My point being: many, many cameras are sold every year just for studio purposes.

Corporate studios and freelance studio photographers might not buy a ton of point and shoots or Rebels, but the 5D and 1Ds lines sell a lot of units here. In the past two years every time I've been to a symposium, convention, or other meeting everyone has said how great the 5D Mk II has been for the industry as we never needed the weather sealing or AF and now we can now buy 3 cameras for the price of the 1Ds Mk III. Some have even been moving from medium format digital systems. I've been told by managers at one or two larger studios that they have even been able to justify hiring additional part-time photography staff because of the cost savings.

I feel the idea of a 3D is justified as those who feel the AF of the 5D is not sufficient for their purposes can either pay more or sacrifice something else (Megapixels?) for a camera with a 7D or better AF system. While the studio and architectural photographers can get the high resolution they want.

If you want more megapixels, it's going to cost more. If you want better AF it's going to cost more. If you want a full-frame sensor it's going to cost more. If you want better weather sealing it's going to cost more. I'm all for Canon adding better AF and such to the cameras, but only if they keep the price of the next iteration of the camera comparable. If upping the AF raises the price (regardless if the price is due to the cost of components or Canon just feels they can charge more) significantly, it becomes an issue for those that don't need it.

Somewhere between August and October 2011.Isn't it about time the speculation to begin (and the furious religious battle along with it) about what it will be,what it "should" be,and what we "would want" it to be?

cool but with out the Popup crap , right?

How do you have wireless flash control without an internal flash? Would it be a pop-up IR transmitter? Why not just have an onboard flash in that case?
