It is odd, as Canon should see the Minolta modeling numbering pattern.

OTOH, as the EOS "pro" numbering was always low (1, 3...) and the Maxxum
pro numbers were always high (8, 9) this situation was a bit innevitable.

Finally, I don't think the folks at Canon are much concerned with
Minolta's numbering ... eg: "f&ck-em".

Well, there's already been an EOS 5 and a MAXXUM 5, or Dyanx 5, if you're on
the other side of the water...so both companies have equal claim to the
name, as it were.

Canon's model is called "EOS-5D".

5D is half the cost of 10D

It's not released yet, so only few have actually seen it. That still
makes it unlikely that since all Canon EOS cameras are named EOS-xxxx,
with xxxx being the model, there is going to be a sudden change with
the introduction of the EOS-5D.

So, how do you it's actually going to be called the 5D?

Know? 25+ years of experience in how global corporations work.
How do you know it isn't going to be called an EOS-5D??

So you have credible proof it isn't called EOS-5D?
Didn't think so. Thanks for playing...

You have trouble comprehending English? No-one here is saying it's NOT to
be called an EOS-5D? I merely question how you can assert it is to be so.
Simply saying you're aware of how global corporates operate doesn't in
anyway justiofy your claim that it's a reality.

Admit it, you're guessing. You may well be guessing correctly (time will
tell) but for the moment it's all a big guess on your part
