hehe...oops
I passed the new camera name to Google ("CANON EOS REBEL XTI") and found something else interesting. The XTI was deleted but was available in the cache. More interesting (and possibly disappointing) was that there is another new book out in Spring 2007 that replaces the current CANON EOS-1D MARK II & EOS-1DS MARK II book.

One thing's for certain...whatever Canon announces in way of new bodies, it should be available for sale within a month or so...Canon has been pretty consistent about this in year's past.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the 30D was released in Feb 2006 right? It would be more logical to me that they would replace the XT (released Feb 2005 I believe) since the '18 month product life cycle' would be up about now.
The only hole in this logic I can see is that the 30D was a pretty minor tweak to the existing 20D (released Aug 2004), therefore leaving it 2 years since it was dramactically improved.

The 370d was announced back on Aug 9 in China.
Nothing is announced in China, everything is speculation, period. I am following the largest online forum in China, and know what's fake and what's real Aug 24th is the date when Canon will show the world what the new DSLR looks like.

I am ready for it. I've just junked....
(1) my dRebel....thus I need another 1.6 FOVCF body superior to my 20D.
(2) my EF50mm f/1.4 USM.....that lens overstayed its welcome in my kit by quite a bit. There is room in the bag now for the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM.
With time passing by, and those book links about a Rebel XTi (aka EOS 370D or 400D or whatever...), I think more and more just that camera will be announced on August 24 and hit the market soon after or even immidiately. And any other body will come at the Photokina itself or at PMA '07. I was actually more expecting a flagship to get the attribute of a legend... but there might be some things which make it possible for a entry level to become a legend: never before low price, new imaging processor, new lcd technology, new/innovative sensor technology, never seen amount of features... the list is long.
And it would make sense to try any new technology on a model at the lower end of the camera line-up...

Relax, the EOS 350D is not going to be discontinued - it is doing a great job against the entry-level DSLRs from Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Samsung. The new model is more likely to go head-to-head with the Sony Alpha A100 and Nikon D80.
There are four possibilities for a "370D" that I can see:
1) It's a low-end body (relative to the 350D), stripped down like the 300D was, to compete at a rock-bottom price point.
2) It's a high-end body (relative to the 350D), with some feature(s) added, like higher resolution, rear control dial, big LCD, or something of that nature.
3) It's a replacement for the 350D. Think 2.5" LCD, picture styles, and a print button (groan).
4) It's something entirely new. An EVF camera comes to mind.
Consider that there's really not much difference between the 30D and 350D, other than body design and the rear control dial. I HIGHLY doubt Canon would try to position a body between the 350D and 30D; they'd cannibalize the sales of both.
I'd put my money on a new 370D with a big LCD, picture styles, and a print button. Maybe ISO3200, too. If the 350D sticks around, it will get a price cut so Canon can eat up D50 sales.
