I'm afraid most of those specs are too good to be true.
Specially this one: new DiGIC V is more than 2x faster than current DiGICIV, enables
onboard processing of all those DPP functions still not done in-camera
with the current cams (i.e., lateral CA correction, geometric
distortion correction, better highlight & shadow detail extraction,
plus new “Diffraction Elimination” function: pixel-level contrast
enhancement and sharpening to counteract aperture-related diffraction
effects)
Product is rumoured - much drooling
Product is announced - declared Best Camera Ever (except for a few who declare it's Utter Rubbish because it lacks some feature they consider essential)
Product first ships - First Adopters pay premium, loudly declare its superiority
A couple weeks later - First Adopters realize it isn't the Best Camera Ever
A couple months later - Product widely disparaged as Crap; predecessor revered as vastly superior; First Adopters announce they're switching to Nikon
A year later - rumours of replacement - much drooling
And the band plays on...
Actually, I'm waiting to decide whether to upgrade my 20D to the 50D or 60D

Better DR, ISO noise handling and AF, I think I am in heaven! Might just have to sell the 1DII at last...
Maybe that's the new "surprise" feature - Canon's LISTENING to us !! Man, that would be a helluva surprise - guess it took Nikon to help 'em do it. Now if we could just get a version of the 1 series without that damn vertical grip, I'd really be happy
.
Let's see.......
