The 1D replacement is nuclear powered! It is called the 1Dn.

I held one in my hand today and it is amazing. It is the same size as the current model and half the weight. It is nuclear powered so that it can shoot an amazing 30 frames per second.

It has 8Mpix and full frame. Now for the real shocker – it has a new lossless compression scheme. A full resolution RAW file is only 135 K. You read that right K not M! That means 7,400 images per 1G card!

Canon stopped production of the 1D in August and have been secretly producing these babies ever since. They will be released in large numbers the day after Thanksgiving to hit the Christmas sales rush. It will be announced during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

List price is $3,500.

I can’t tell you my sources but I did get to hold it.

Taking a few minutes at lunch. I love the comments. I did see the future 20D with the anit-matter power cell. They wouldn't let me hold it as it isn't very stable. You know that life as we know it would end if anti-matter isn't handled properly.

Funny that no one commented on the absurd Macy's comment. The way the rumors are flying on this web, you would think the 1D and 1Ds were being marketed like toys for Christmas. These two cameras are marketed to professionals and most people at dpreview have forgotten that.

Time to get a grip and get rational.

explain to me the meaning of Macy's Thanksgiving parade....And, did you really hold a 1Dn?....or were you kiding about that? Keep in mind that not all folks are witfull & capable of "picking up" these one liners (like myself of course)!

I looked up your profile and saw that you are from Canada / Iqaluit, Nunavut.

The Macy's Thanksgiving parade is held each year in New York City on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the unofficial kick off for the Christmas buying season.

Yes, everything I wrote was a joke. I have been very amused by ridiculous rumors that are being passed on as fact. Thus, I decided to write some really stupid specs for the future 1D.

Nuclear powered digital camera may be a good idea in pre-9/11 world. I seriouly doubt that it along with anti-matter 10D will get OK from Homeland Security right now. We are living in a different world now. Can you imagine one of those falls to the hand of the wrong people? Don't know what kind of background check they need to run to get you on the waiting list.
 
From your post, it seems like the model you held had a bit of radioactive leakage. The Alpha and the Beta decay has really gotten into your head and given you a sense of delirium. Nothing personal, but your are not funny and don't waist my time with your posts.
You are in my ignore list...

Yea, seriously guys stop it now....
...............................................................................
I do however have a master plan to end all this supposition and rumor...
I'm off to Canon UK offices tomorrow and intend to beat it out of them.
 
it will tap via strings (as in string theory) into the battery power of the camera of ourself in on of the parallel universes! the poor folks over there won't be able to figure out why their batteries drains so fast!

'Don't hope your pictures will 'turn out' ... make them good to begin with'. Oft said by my late father.

The FED-3, a Soviet-era camera produced between 1964 and 1980, was typically shipped with an Industar-61, 52mm/f2.8 lens which was mildly radioactive, because Lanthanum was used in the manufacture of the optics. Full frame of course. That's a production run of 16 years, folks - none of this annual upgrade scramble.

As for 30 frames a second... you might be lucky to get a single frame every 2-3 seconds or so if you're really fast at turning knobs, and don't mind developing a callus on your thumb!

Probably, the idea was to shoot a single frame as fast as you could, then get the thing as far away from your vital organs as possible.

3 times below the normal background level, measured with the geiger pressed to crone component.
