I seriously doubt the notion that the alleged N model will have a different sensor. And no, he gave no further info about spec as he doesn't know. He is a Nikon guy and his info about Canon is much less than it is about Nikon.
Also, if you don't like rumour threads, why click on them and say you don't like them? Just avoid clicking on them.
Happy shooting,

Because there's 900 of them. That and, why not tell everyone that trying to guess a day of the month that the new camera will be released with all of these awesome stats (I can't get over the new 5d being a 1dsm3 for 5D pricing), when infact Canon has said NOTHING about it, is silly. The only "sources" we have for information are a Nikon shooter, or previous threads stating information with links that have no point, or users who registered to Dpreview yesterday, with 1 post.
It's been stated before, basically this new camera will be 2 years old as soon as it comes out, and people will have already planned it's replacement.

Your threads are worthless, you are just trying to stir up the crowd. You posted the same exact thing in the Nikon forum except just changed the gear. Why bother? I have sources that tell me the 5D2 has already been released, what makes your sources better than mine? If anything, you are your source, and are just making up information to get everyone aggrivated. Please, stop posting for a while.
Maybe Canon will bless us with a 50/1.2 v2 that has more user-friendly design compromises incorporating corrections for spherical aberration that will insure accurate AF at close distances.
New lenses would be nice, in order of preference ;
24-70 F2.8 L with IS - yes please!
updated 70-200 F2.8 L IS with latest IS and IQ on a par with F4 L IS.
135 F2.0 L with IS
100-400 needs an update or a new lens like the Nikon 200-400 F4
100mm f2.8 macro with IS, would make it a bit more versatile
New 5D, just need 2xCF slots, 12 Mpixels, better high ISO, 4fps is acceptable, better AF, and a LCD I can see in daylight!
June is possible if Canon is feeling the pressure from Nikon with D3/D300, but only Canon marketing will know for sure. Personally I think August is more likely for the 5D upgrade announcement.

You gotta be kidding right? Curiosity is in our nature, and you don't fight against nature, it just happens, look at what happened to Pandora. If I tell you don't think of George W Bush what's the next thing that pops into your head? Right, Bush's face. There's something you can't help doing.
To me such threads are fun to read, but I know to some, a false date, like June, will give them 1 more month waiting in agony, and no, they won't admit it. That's also in our nature .
Even Canon themselves haven't said a thing, why should someone know anything firm? Even if they do and decide to leak it, grow some balls and leak it like a real pipe lol, not fleeting droplets that vaporize even before hitting the ground. And from a Nikon shooter? You realise how troll-like and ridiculous that sounds?
I don't mind jokes, but a mean joke is still mean, because it gives some poor and naive people false hope. Maybe it's better to save us bandwidth and let those poor souls have some peace, because they get worked up easily over non-credible words of mouth.
I know I wouldn't have enough money to buy 5D2 at the time of release, therefore such rumors don't affect me, but another cheap 5D is irresistible.
If the Nikon rumours come true, we'll all be jumping ship anyway;
D3x + 200 f/4 VR macro will be worth the price of admission alone, let alone the 3 new pc lenses two with macro ability.
It looks like the D400 with FF sensor will be out before Canon updates the 5D; maybe when the competition lays the smack down on them they will finally act. So far it seems Canon has 20/20 hindsight.
I don't post here very much, but for what's it's worth I'm tired of waiting for the 5dII.
I own a 20d, 70-200 f2.8 IS, 100 macro, 10-22, 50 f1.8, Canon extension tubes, 1.4x extender, 580 and 430 flashes, and some misc Canon accessories.
I will sell it all and go Nikon, if they release a sub $3k Nikon full frame DSLR before Canon updates the 5d. I'll take a bath, but am tired of waiting for Canon, especially because I feel that they delay releases not because of technology or development reasons, but only to trickle out upgrades to just stay a tiny bit ahead of the competition.
