If the 400L /5.6 IS arrives it is overdue and will sell like crazy. The 35 /1.8, why is what I'm asking if it's true? The 35L /1.4 is fantastic, but does it make the 35 /2.0 look so bad we need a 35 /1.8? The rumored 50L /1.2 seems likely and very wanted, I'll buy one ASAP if it shows up Merged 1D possible, but at the rumored price it seems to be alienating many potential 1DMkll owners.Maybe two versions will arrive but have similair builts to lower manufacturing costs. Maybe,one aimed at sports / action shooters and one at the high end market. And again the 3D will fail to show light of day, despite the fact that alot of us want it.
The rumoured new lens is a 100-400/4 IS I believe, not a 400/5.6.
Personally what I think we will see in new cameras are an increase in DR - I think there was a post by Chuck Westfall that Canon see 2007 as the year of increased DR, although I can't recall the link - anyone got it?
They certainly seem to think they can boost high ISO performance in the near future:

The other rumour I have heard which seems unlikely to me is that a 30D or slightly above level camera is to be intro'd around Photokina, a bit bigger than the 30D - maybe something with a 1.3 sensor?
Some camera with a pellicle mirror also seems to keep cropping up - hate to think how you would clean the sensor.
