The contact mentioned an announcement for a new high end Canon camera would be coming in March. It will NOT be a 1Ds Mark IV by the sounds of it. The general consensus is it will be a 5D Mark II replacement or bigger brother.

The 5D Mark II turns 3 at the end of the summer 2011, there are a few bits of information that put a replacement before its 3rd birthday.

A few dealers have mentioned a significant slowdown in 5D Mark II sales. The same dealers said the D700 wasn’t selling well anymore either.

I will say pinning down exact announcement dates this far in advance is difficult.

Next march wor ..  and as usually, if upper end products, won't be for sale right the way ... so mean May/June.

1Ds4 is coming, and 5DIII is coming, no surprise.

" The 5D Mark II turns 3 at the end of the summer 2011...
  one year in a camera's life is equal to 30 years in a man's life

  i guess , today's DSLR's  go through the photo-pause stage 12 months after it is bought
  and is ready to retire before the end of year 3
