I have been consedering buying the canon eos1ds mark 2 for a while.
was wondeing since this is a 16.7 megapixel camera what are the chances of

Pretty strong, since Mamiya, Hasselblad and Pentax have already announced
22mp cameras with larger sensors than the Canon. I believe the Hassy has
been released, too, but I may be wrong on that.
Of course, they are a bit more expensive than the Canon, about $10,000US...

Since the 1Ds Mark II has only been on the market for about half a year
I would be surprised if they replaced it in the next 4 to 6 months. The
other thing that is not clear is what all improvements that might make
on the next model, the number of pixels is only part of what make a
good camera. For example it would be very nice if they made a camera
with all the capabilities of the 1Ds Mark II but was not quite as huge,
or maybe add in a live preview mode, or image stabilization build it to
the camera. The points is that one should not just look at the number
of pixels as being what makes a good camera. My guess is we will see
Canon address some of this other issues in the next 1Ds model, and we
may or may not see an increase in the number of pixels.

If 16.7 MP is enough for your photography, why would it matter if
Canon brought out a model with more pixels?

yeah... **** the pixes... they are not the real resolution!
pfff and what if Canon annouces a 2gigapixel camera.... geee forget
about it, buy an equipment which satisfy you - and go take pictures...
not talk on newsgroups about prophecies and pffff imgainations..

For some reason, I read "Canon" as "anyone." The likelihood of Canon
introducing a camera with more than 16.7 mp is pretty slim, it's still
fairly new on the market.
As far as introducing a camera with slightly fewer pixels, but at a lower
cost, that remains to be seen, but it's a hot one on the grapevine, right
now...

Again the live preview, which isn't offered in any dSLR, and for a reason
too! It can't be done, I guess people really want a EVF like a gloried Canon
Pro1

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 1DMkIII. There's a gap from 8mp to 16mp
that the D2X sits in, at the price point of Canon's 8mp.

A 12mp sensor at that price point would be a good competitor for the D2X,
particularly at a 1.3ish factor.

Sure it can be done, in fact Canon did it with a version of the 20D I
believe.

Sorry you are wrong. The 20Da has a focus assist live view only during
exposure. This is for astro photography which can have exposures in the
hours.
