Default Re: Canon 1D Mark IIN: What's the real story

My guess:

They may have known they were going to integrate the 1D and the 1Ds, so a 'real' EOS-1 update wasn't due for a while. Perhaps, they reduced the manufacturing cost of the camera in anticipation of a long production run, and updated a couple of features (0.5fps frame rate for bragging rights, screen size for marketing) just so it won't get too long in the tooth while we await the Mk III?
