Replacement for the 5D Mark II?

[Recty]

Anyone have any information on if there is a planned replacement for the 5D Mark II anytime soon?

The reason I ask is I'm considering getting one, but I could easily wait if a replacement is coming out.

I'd hate to buy a 5D and see the price drop $500-$600 because a replacement came out, or else want the features the new model offers but have already spent my $$$ on the 5D.

People asked this question about the 5D for years before the mkII was announced.

The 5D was around for almost 7 years before the MkII came out. I'd think that you're safe for a while.

I would not expect a 5D replacement anytime soon.

Since Canon keeps improving upon the current firmware of the 5D2 it doesn't appear that a replacement is on the horizon. This is awesome news.
