yes but back then Nikon really didnt have anything that was all that great to offer..Even though i dont like Nikon the D300/D700 are packed with ALOT of stuff..this new 50D doesnt even come close to features as the year old D300

I compare it to what the competition is doing... and if these specs are true I don't get the impression that Canon is really innovating or trying to compete. Just MHO.

ISO 12800 in 15MP 1.6x sensor is that a sick joke.
What a crock of shite.
And even if true this does not mean there's no new FF this year.
True, sorry about that comment. I don't want to start any rumors.
I'm still happily shooting with a 1DmkII, and will continue do so for a long time. (That is until a nice 5D replacement is to be had 2nd hand for cheap).

Quite possibly, but it also mentions that they're using Digic 4 so hopefully they've been able to pull of some magic and reduce the ISO noise even further, preferably without in-camera noise-reduction a la Noise Ninja.

hey man, nice find even if its not real...
there was some weird translation on the china site that said "manipulation of human manipulatioN" kinda weird..
I speak english and spanish, they have much more in common than chinese and english, and google butchers quite a bit of both. It's only useful for word by word literal translations.

The purported spec don't list in camera shake reduction.
What I find appealing about specs is that since at least the 30D, the xxD resolution specs have been lock-step with the 1D non "s" bodies... so hopefully this means a 1DIV at around 15MP (and full frame would be even better).
Also has UDMA support, though hopefully that's "Nikon" 30MB/s UDMA and not Canon's relatively weak UDMA speeds in the 1DsIII.
And for the person wishing for more than 9 AF sensors.... looks like it won't be, though they are all supposedly cross type.

http://www.canon.com.cn/ is the link that opens from the canon.com global site when you click on China... therefore the 50D links appear to be legit. One thing to remember, if the camera is to be announced on Friday, it's already Friday in China right now...
