No doubt those who jumped on the leaked web page and the whispers from the Canon vendors will now tell those of us who were cynical "how does my a$$ taste?" It's difficult to take a web link with "dog-cr" seriously.

From now on, I will also jump on every reliable source such as inside sales guy, brochure printers, UPC posters, and shopowners.

I guess I'll just go out and make more photos with my outdated 1D2N.

What are the predictions about 60D?

Don't forget the subliminal aspect of the "dog crap" or "dog-cr.jp" site. Canon needs to seriously look at their site naming conventions if that was an official leak.

The EOS 50D is to ship in early October 2008 at an expected street price of US$1399 in the U.S. - taken from Rob Galbraith's site.

from imaging-resource:

New EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens
Canon has answered the call from advanced amateur photographers looking for a solid all-around lens with the introduction of the new EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. With an incredible focal length range equivalent to 29-320mm in the 35mm format, the new EF-S 18-200mm lens will make an excellent addition to any camera bag, and it gives shooters a great lens to capture both standard as well as telephoto images. The new lens features Canon's built in Optical Image Stabilization system which gives the equivalent effect of a shutter speed roughly 4 steps faster, for better image clarity, even in shaky shooting conditions. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m/1.5 ft. at all zoom settings, this new lens should prove to be ideal for those situations where swapping lenses isn't an option. An ideal complement to the EOS 50D SLR camera and all other EF-S compatible EOS SLR cameras, the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is scheduled to be in stores this October at an estimated selling price of $699.00*.

Just noticed the 50D has a more easily change focusing screen. Finally!!!

For this MF kind of shooter that's a monster upgrade. Maybe someone will provide a split with a microprism ring.

As usual, people want 1D and 1Ds series performance for 40D prices.

Only because thats what the competition is doing.

From a spec point of view, this release is a real snooze in my opinion. Unless the IQ proves to be outstanding, I don't see the point, and I don't see how it competes at all with the D300.

Really? I never noticed that, but I wasn't that interested in upgrading until recently. Either way it's still huge for me.

But the 50D also has the AF adjustment so maybe I can start using AF with more confidence.

There's a time to begin changing the ridiculous pricing structure we've all experienced over the several years, and that should be now.

I don't care about the 50d as I'll probably never buy one, but the crop crowd wanted a higher quality camera and Canon delivered half a loaf. Nikon delivered the full thing in the D300. Sure the D300 is limited by the Sony/Nikon sensor and I have no doubt Canon will - as always - win the IQ race, but Canon did no more on this camera than they had to do to even stay in the game.

They could have done better, and protecting the inflated 1 series price is getting old, real old...
