i'm not suprise really, i wait until it hits $3000 to get one, or the replacement of 1Dsmk2.

If the opinion was true ("Canon is not satisfied with the current sales figures"), then it may be really because people do not really need full-frame after all (either through lack of awareness, or the successful marketing of 1.6x "focal length multipler" strategy, or...).

Or else, the masses are not willing to pay such a premium for full-frame DSLRs.

Great to hear that the price are dropping....well, will wait for people to let go used version...from experience, no point getting new camera.

its attractive for me if it hits the 3.5k region... Must resist... must resist... must resist... must resist...

see the results of not supporting atrocious over priced items?

the price will drop alot to a much more resonable level. if this continues for all DSLRs (irregardless of brand), very soon, u will find 30D selling at S$1800, S3pro at S$2000 & the D200 at S$2200 range.

ALL CONSUMERS UNITE!!

IMHO, pricing 30D and 350D so low will still eat into 5D potential target market. So a reasonable price like $1000 for 350D, $1800 for 30D and $3500 for 5D will be a better price range for Canon.
