Upcoming to NAB 2015, some rumours some not
"I have confirmed that in NAB we probably be able to see the new upgrades called Mark 2 for the existing C300 and C500 EOS lines. This cameras are expected to have 4K support, and at least 4K internal recording on the C500. Well, this cameras are out there for more than 3 or 4 years so an update is a must for Canon. Now there is more competence with great cameras from Sony and Panasonic. So Canon need to address this in order to not loose market share.A part of C300 and C500 mk2 (C100 mk2 was released some weeks ago), today we received (we not the only ones) a suspicius Press Release and photo of a Canon EOS C700 model.."

We will know for sure in a few weeks. Why look for these announcements where "you heard it first"? The new products are hardly ever available until after NAB anyway. Plenty of time to pick them apart.

When the original C100 hit the market in December 2012, Canon offered a $500 rebate at NAB 2013. So yes, it's reasonable that Canon would offer some type of discount on the C100 MK II (but not guaranteed).
 
OP, you need to start reading canonrumors, he's been pretty spoy on with thr majority of his rumors and he's objective so he doesnt immediately fall for hype.

C300 II is as good as confirmed for NAB with a probable release around august september
C500 II supposedly is not ready for NAB, but maybe that rumor is just more airtight...

And then there's the would be successor for the 5D3 which dslr videoshooters are all waiting for.

I dont see that as being announced at NAB, as it would probably steal 5Dr and 5Ds sales and since those cameras arent out till late june, my guess is that the IV will be announced just over the summer with sales begininng in late 2015 / early 2016.
 
I just talked to a sales guy here in Denmark and I was fishing for C300 info... he said that throughout his 30 or so years in the business, Canon has always been slow like this, and he believed that august / september was the optimistic guess, that later was more likely, but I also think he was interested in hooking me on the FS7 ;P Nah, joking aside... We'll see that camera at NAB, and ofcourse when we do they probably also mention something about release.

A cinema/4k DSLR wouldn't conflict with the 5Ds. Canon's stated that they're going to go after niche markets, not just come out with generalized cameras, so I do think a delay in a 5D mkIV makes sense, but a future 1DC style camera shouldn't conflict.
