That spec would be a good camera. Canon would seem to still need to have a ~$3000 price point camera, however. A primary strategy is to keep gross sales as high as possible while increasing specs.

Ignoring the MP and price, it seems almost certain that the (a) new camera will look like this. I would be shocked if they didn't put a big sensor in a 40D-ish camera. I would like to be shocked.

it just like the CPU scam in computers you have a 2.2ghz for 1000 then a 2.4 ghz for 1500 ect...canon or nikion should be makeing more than enough on P&S and 1.6 crop cameras to offer a low end FF body....at least by now cmos isnt rocket science anymore

Those specs look very interesting but I'm not sure about the MP count. I guess we'll just have to wait until the press conference unless somone breaks the NDA.

I'm not so bothered about the MP count being less than 14. I'm really looking for FF sports body with 8+ fps.

Everyone's needs are different. I don't shoot sports so 4-5 fps is plenty fast for me! I want more megapixels so I can make bigger prints, crop like crazy and still end up with 12mp!

the same rumour says (and they claim this part is more than rumour) that on August 26th Canon Sweden will unveil new canon eos DSLRS. Note the S at the end. It could be 7D and 3D.

These give a bare bonesish features with astonishing image quality at a lower FF res for a great price then there could be the 3D with all the feature trappings and blow away 16MP per pixel noise or blow away 18-21MP res with still tops per picture noise.

Hum, don't see why this rumor would be more credible than previous ones...

Anyway the question is: with such a low price, would the D700 become cheaper?

I can go low, but it's when the shutter goes slow, that I need that uber low - ISO

The 5D replacement I strongly doubt will have more MP than the 1Ds3. I would expect 16-17 megapixels and hope for 1 series AF.

You can hope for 1 Series AF all ya want but then it wouldn't be a 5D would it

How about a 5D replacement and a compact 1-series?
That's my prediction.

Whayne,

In my case I will be perfectly happy with it especially if it supports high ISO. Fill the gap between 1dmkIII and 1dsmkIII.
