$1899 sounds too cheap--for sure
I would bet around $2999, or best case $2599

why?
it's nothing more than a 40D with larger mirror box and much better sensor. Does the sensor need to cost more than $1000 extra over the 40D sensor? The larger mirror box can't add too much since they had FF film rebels for $200 or something.

as other note it is odd they say 50-3200 then exp 128,256 with no 6400. Also iso 50 seems perhaps a ltitle unusual for such a high iso cam, but who knows, stickign at 12MP...

anwyay it's probably fake.

I'd die for ISO25. I'd die twice and sell my soul for ISO12... native, of course.

:-) so what you are talking about? Concerning lenses Canon was always before Nikon. In Price and quality. That was never the question. The quest is, if Canon adds on an successor for best cam ever and still ;-) No 1D MK II could reach 5d in IQ or res. And still no Nikon can beneath Iso 800. They did in ceiling, AF and high Iso. The MKIIIs are a generation further than 5D. Like D3 and D700 should be. Lets wait for the next genation 5D before compete. In IQ it will set new standards and let all behind. In AF? What is wrong with the 40D AF? Or 30D? What was wrong with 5D? Its just accurate. Maybe not in Al focus. I do not need this. A bargain of $ 1900 would mean € 2.000 instead of exchange 1200. Thats where they rip us (germans). But I would spend it for the rumour above. It would be mine.

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.

12 MP, 5 FPS, High ISO okay 1 out of three not bad, but I don't thin I'll run out to get one, my 5D is already 12MP,....

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.
