I'd have to sell both kidneys for this one. :D
No price has been quoted yet but its probably going to be up there like the Mk IV I think at 6999.00. Surprised they did not call this one a Mk V??
Way down at the bottom of the press release from Canon USA as posted on Canon Rumours...
The Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera is scheduled for March 2012 availability and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $6,800.00. The compact, lightweight WFT-E6A Wireless File Transmitter is scheduled to be available in March 2012 and have an estimated retail price of $600. Availability for the GP-E1 GPS receiver is expected in April 2012 with an estimated retail price of $300.
I think you're really only going to see serious news photographers, especially sports types, that are realistically in the market for something like this.
And the fan boys with money to burn...
I can't even afford the wireless transmitter! :)
