.......... on CR. Sounds plausible, and seems to jibe with what's expected.

I like this quout from the spec sheet:

- lastly, an all-new, pleasantly surprising “feature” that would bring a smile to all the Canon loyalists (just watch for it)

Yeah, that's a real teaser. Never was a loyalist, but I'm always up for something good

Let's see.......

Remove or ability to reprogram the direct print button?

If it uses the battery from the 5Dii - great. If it's another new battery...Nikon here I come.

Well, I'm in the market to upgrade my 40D and if the new AF is included, it's a done deal.

That looks pretty nice. How much will it cost though? And more importantly, when will it actually be available in the shops?

It cant be true, otherwise that would mean Canon were actually listening to their customers

Better DR, ISO noise handling and AF, I think I am in heaven! Might just have to sell the 1DII at last...

The 60D will have the same built-in Pacman game console as the 1D Mark IV

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)

Standard product lifecycle:

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

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

"with new, magnesium-alloy framed BG-E7
battery grip with AF-ON and mini-joystick selector buttons duplicated"

I'm in!!!!!! The rest can be total BS but as long as they make this VG- would be nice if it fit on my 40D too.
