Haha that's a funny link. Why do they get to 'accidently' post the information first? And if it is quickly removed from the site, then we trust it as an 'accidental' leak, and if it stays up on the site, then we know it's completely bogus
hmm, i know there's a reason why i had this instinct to sell 80% of my stuff this month... (even before hearing anything bout canon coming out with new stuff)
a 3D would be nice--give Whayne a break. I'll be laughing too if he's right.
by the way, APS-H? what that could be is what i want to know... compatible with both ef and ef-s? (which is probably impossible, but always hopeful)... if only they'd reprogram the print button to be a 1.6/1.3/full frame switch ... but for some reason, i feel like i could see myself looking through the viewfinder, pressing the button and it just zooming in a notch, and then another notch... when you think of it, it feels possible, but i'm sure it's not technically even close to being possible.
a 400D? eh, unless there's a lot more updated than there was with the 30D, maybe i'll consider...
and as for the fixed lens camera... i'm not even gonna waste my breath haha
Here's a novel thought. Perfect Pixel post a pdf of the document in your possession. Then each person can decide for himself or herself. I personally think the document is a hoax, but I do think we will see a new high-end camera.
Canon will introduce an entirely new professional system with a curved sensor and a new line of high resolution lenses to match. They are going to phase out the EF line in 4 years. Too bad we bought all those EF lenses.

Seeing that this is one of the most preposterous nests of speculation since the grassy knoll, I thought I'd take the opportunity to go on record with my "official" unofficial Photokina predictions for Canon releases.
Bodies
1Ds Mark II Successor
Rebel XT Successor/Update
PowerShot Pro1 Revamp
Lenses
EF-S 18-200 IS
24-70 L IS (24-70 L replacement/EF-S 17-55 IS equivalent)
Perhaps some stabilized reissues of existing lenses (400 f/5.6 L, 100 f/2.8 (keep pace with Nikon) etc.)
I otherwise don't see a whole lot of revolutionary releases. Given the extent to which Nikon is expanding lens-based stabilization, and the broad adaptation of stabilization across most non-Canon/Nikon SLR's, there is going to be a large trend to reissue existing winners with stabilized versions of all L zooms across the entire focal length range (at both f/4 and f/2.8), and then primes working their way from long to short.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. And while I'm not holding my breath, I'd sure love to see an update of the 14 L.
I'll stand by these predictions. Now it's just a matter of how big an ass Canon makes out of me come announcement time.
my bad
