Is there a way to ban new threads with the title 5D MKII, 3D, 7D, 6D, 50D, or such variations until something actually happens?

There is, choose not to read them.

I don't care when it comes out. I just bought a trans am that my wife did not approve of, so spending money on a new camera is out of the question right now. If it comes out soon that will be torture.

You can always sell the screaming chicken for a 5DmkII

I don't see that happening Gerry....

I would sell this chicken though......

Did anyone notice that it says "The Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D Digital Field Guide" in the overview and reviews section?

sorry. it's what I was told by a Canon rep.

if it's not announced between now and August 30th, I'll take the egg on my face.

Looks like Best Price Camera is already listing the Canon 5D MKII already. It says it is 16 megapixels.

Yes, and they are a fountain of knowledge. No doubt the version with metal lens mount will be $1000 extra.
