That seems such an odd way for them to go, unless they are planning to 
have the same sensor in their pro and high end non-pro line, then price 
and market based only on speed, sealing and ruggedness factors.

But I don't see why. They already rule the mp roost. A 16+ mp 6D with 
some other improvements, like auto iso, to compete with N and a 22+ mp 
2Ds pro model seem like a stronger line-up to me.

22 mp in a 5Dish body is overkill, and probably over $ for competition 
with the other, non FF makers, isn't going to be enough to meet pro 
needs other than for mps, and would eat into the Pro model sales.

Or it could be a new, lower priced pro line for the many pro uses that 
don't require all the special speed, sealing and ruggedness features of 
the 1Ds series. Product photographers and such might find it very 
attractive. That would still leave room for the next step from the 5D.
