Pricing is thought to be between 1Dx and 5D3 although what that means in terms of other specification parameters remains to be seen. However, it does appear that this new body will be offered as two body options - with and without Anti-Aliasing (AA). Not having an AA filter is claimed to provide "slightly improved" sharpness. The route of no AA (I believe) has already been led by the Nikon D800 and some compacts. My question is: "If you are taking bird photographs with a 53MP body (ignoring sensor specifications at this point) and routinely crop your images, will there be significant observable benefit (or disadvantages) in going non-AA?"Michael.</blockquote>
