$4999? Wishful thinking, highly doubt it'll be $1500 cheaper than the previous 1DX III...

If it is "just" an R5 on steroids with a grip, 4999$ or a little bit more is not that strange, it should be cheaper than the 1DXIII anyway.

P.S. If the specification are very different from my speculation ,the price could be anything between 4499$ to 6999$, as I already said.

I do not read this as an R5 on steroids. New stacked CMOS sensor, Eye control AF, 30 FPS, larger body with probably better battery life, 1 series weather resistance, and this is what we know, I am sure the camera will have more features. I see this as a camera designed to fully compete with the Sony A1.

I see a price at least at $5,999. Canon generally does not see the need to go after Sony on price, at least I have not seen Canon use price to compete on a new offering. The bigger question is Canon concerned about hurting EOS-1D X III. Then again, Canon maybe having problems selling the EOS-1D X III and they need a camera that can offer better competition to the A1 and they are not yet ready to release a R1
