Earlier this weak, the Canon 7D was marked "Discontinued" on Amazon. (It is still available at some camera stores for those looking for a deal.)
The replacement rumors have started.
Just what a "revolutionary" sensor and "a lot of 1D X" actually entails remains to be seen. Look for an announcement from Canon during the first week of September. The announcement should provide details on the 7D replacement as well as information on new lens releases.
Canon did recently patent a layered sensor design, similar to the Foveon but including layers for IR and UV. It seems a little too early for this sensor design to be included in a camera, but Canon may have waited until actual manufacturing began before filing the patent.
I'm not sure if Canon has anything else it could reasonably call revolutionary in the works in regards to sensor design.
