It does look like the new Canon flagship DSLR is about to be released. Apparently some photographers are testing it now. The EOS 1Ds Mark IV.
The rumour I read today suggested that the camera was forgoing more pixels in favour of more dynamic range and sharpness and high ISO.
A concurrent rumour is that Canon is negotiating to purchase a medium format brand.
These taken together suggest that Canon's strategy is to position the DSLR as a non-studio camera and a medium format future model as their studio camera. They may be forced to move in this direction as the big 60 MP medium format sensors are simply too good for Canon to compete with using a full frame DSLR.
