No new bodies. Their reason is because 35mm film camera still has market on a global basis which is probably true, as I can't think digitals (except some P&S) are proliferating in some parts of the world as it requires other peripherals and digital infrastructure. Nikon is keeping only F6 and FM3 (was it?) and they are probably taking care of pro and enthusiast market, but not developing world etc. Canon have a huge global distributor network of many products, not just camera lines and I believe they are able to continue selling 35mm where the market demands. But another reason is probably because they do not want to suddenly reduce the sales of their lenses. They may suddenly drop the 35mm. Ken
