A new prosumer DSLR will be presented in the Event. And a replacement of 1D MarkII (2years old by now) will arrive shortly after that.

Canon have become a company that regularly upgrades and improves their products. For their DSLR range this has meant in the past releasing a consumer DSLR about every year, and a Professional DSLR every two years. According to the last release dates we should be in for a prosumer DSLR around september and a professional DSLR around february 2006 (PMA). However my feeling is that Canon will swap these release dates because the 20D is doing ok whereas the 1dII is getting a bit long in the tooth and has an almost direct competitor in the Nikon D2X (Nikon won't admit this as they prefer to pit this model against the 1DsII rather than the 1DII). Add to this scenario the fact that the 1V/Eos3/1D/1Ds/1DsII series of cameras are now about 8 years old. Time for a revamp of the whole range with smaller, lighter with more autonomy. One last note.. the 1.3x crop is an anomaly, and an expedient one to get around the frame rate and buffer limitations.. This crop may well disappear in future models creating a very distinct two tier system of full frame and 1.6x crop. 2005 may well mark the year when Canon comes up with this combination of new body design, incorporating a dedicated mirror lock up button (finally!), a new technology long-life battery (polymer?), a larger sensor cavity to aid cleaning, a larger LCD panel... If they simply continue with incremental improvements, as they have up till now, then their competitors will be able to second guess them and pre-empt their next release.
