Canon has announced their latest, top of the line, DSLR: The EOS-1D X.  It's the flagship for their EOS line (full frame, 12 fps, 18.1 MP...)...and slightly out of my price range.  Come on Santa...!!!

There's a strong possiblity that Canon will soon (like within the next few weeks) announce the 200-400mm w/ integrated 1.4x they showed off earlier this year, will probably cost about the same or more as the 1DX.

yeah think ill stick with my humble lil XS for now since the price for just the body will pay off my car with enough left over for a fun weekend in Vegas  :P

Chris, you eather  have a cheap car or expensive taste in cameras.  ;D

I'll try what my thermo professor did a while back. He bought a Porsche 911 (I think he said it was a 1980s one) and survived on ramen for like a year.

Have you been 100% happy with the Mk3? I'm pondering one for my next step up.

I wouldn't mind having one myself.

At the very least, I hope I can marry my MkIV to another MkIV

MkIV's should become more affordable also which is another option, I might have to get a second part time job to start a slush fund for gear lol!

And the yet-to-be-officially-announced 200-400 with an integrated 1.4x. This no autofocus at f8 fiasco will definitely push that over the sketchy 100-400L/1.4x combo.
