Well said. A cheap base-model Canon would be great for all the reasons you stated. The D50 has been a great seller and the Pentax models are also very strong sellers in many markets. They're cheap. Canons 350D requires that you're a little more certain that you want to get into DSLR photography. Canon need an impulse buy body for the masses.
Well, right now the net is flooded with fake ads, - but this, if true, might be what I was suggesting:

I cant imagine that even if canon did make this camera that it would come with a plastic mount as stated, plus the pdf talks about the 350D

>> Sure current MF photographers may not jump at a Canon MF digital but those future pro photographers that started with Canon Digital (ie a Rebel) may grow through stages to other possibilities 30D, 5D, ID MKII, 1Ds MK II (not necessarily all of them but the choices are there).

The most important word here is "may". It may happen and it may not. There is always a gap in the market but not always there is a market in the gap.

...

>> Is there any information in this thread other than this first post?

Nope. Come to think of it, even this post does not offer much info... :-)

There may not be much info, but the gap-in-the-market market-in-the-gap phrase is very well spun, so great post!

If that 3000D is a hoax, the picture is pretty well done. Even if it is composed of several pictures of different camera bodies, the end result is a great looking design!

Perhaps Canon Inc allows selected regional subsidiaries to be "designated leakers."

Most likely not. I've spoken to a few companies about deliberate leaking and all say that they won't or can't with regards to insider trade laws. Although unlikely in this case people could potentially end up in prison or markets freeze the stock. In fact, the whole 5D-leakage last year was considered "most embarrassing".

Some companies have taken this to a completely different level. One of Apples local executives told me that they usually are briefed about the new Macs only an hour or so before Steve Jobs announce at a keynote. However, Apple is a much more centralised organisation than Canon and rely on basically two kinds of products (Mac, iPod) whose announcements has a potentially larger impact on the stock. But still, Canon is not that different although I doubt any leakage about a new copyprinter will raise anyones eyebrows.

Go back a decade and it was much more common in general for us reporters and editors to receive information under NDA with regards to printing cycles and such. Internet has changed all that.

The PDF is pretty funny. Either the reference of 350D on the second page is an incredibly bad typo or the thing is as fake as most of the stuff out there.

Since the lower numbers are the higher priced cameras I predict a new Decimal series. Next release is the .2D body (leaving room for upgrade to a .1D and the prosumer .3D).

It looks exactly like the 3000V film camera. So I guess it wasn't all that hard to chop.

Yet another example of hooey that hoping that by being authoritatively-stated, it will somehow be mistaken for actual insight. A tin-plated turd, nothing more.
You were referring to my hunch of the 500mm lens or the non-1D camera to be unveiled on Aug 24?

I hope Canon won't forget to make a built-in printer in the battery grip

The time of announcement, not time of marketing, would have been more appropriate. The time of announcement is almost perfectly controllable and more indicative of Canon's intended cycle of product introduction. The time of announcement will also show coincidences with major industry shows and peak sales seasons.

The "time of marketing" includes factors Canon can't easily control, thus doesn't necessarily reflect a date based on Canon's intentions.

I wonder if this thread will still be alive in 24/8/06. It's already gone far more than I anticipated.
