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

I think it's a reasonable price they more than make up the dollars with all the new lenses you will need for it. There also needs to be some room for the R1 price without making it ridiculous.

Well that's the thing isn't it? Do you actually need a new $13,000 lens or can we just use our existing 500/600 primes on it with no issues? I think Canon requiring new lenses to take advantage of the 30 fps would create a large backlash.

But then again, not alot can say they need this new R3 or 'NEED' 500/600 prime lenses.
