When comparing the prices of Canon's new lenses and cameras that are updates to old ones, it is worthwhile finding out what the price change is Japanese Yen. If the price change is small in Japan but large in the USA, then that should tell you that the reason for the price change is not Canon...
There are lots of questions about what/what is different about the C1D vs 1DX and I think this comment on dpreview is rather telling:
[i]"Canon won't be pinned down on the precise details of hardware differences but also says the 1D X might be subject to greater import duty into North America and the EU if an aftermarket firmware change would allow the recording of more than 29 minutes, 59 seconds of video, so this isn't a 1D X with extended video and 4K enabled in firmware."[/i]
