If all that is going to be released on or around PMA is a new 30D with a 10MP sensor, then there are going to be alot of disappointed people around. This is hardly the D200 killer that everyone expects!
If no 1D series FF is announced soon I am going to buy myself a newish 1Ds Mark 2 and be happy!
i told ya few weeks ago that probably canon guys will laugh their butt when seing what a crazy rumor thing they created here...
well, i must say THIS rumor thing will put them in hospital, for sure...nobody, not eaven canon officials, can not resist to that much and that intense laugh...
really, they are old and sick, do u guys really want to kill them all??
i suppose that is the reason they do not make any announcement: they have red the start of this topic with expectations and wishes, start laughing and one by one they got into hospital or into casket ....
guys, please, be serious just 2 weeks or else they will all die and we will have NOTHING at this PMA...
GO CANON...u did it again...u f us, u get our money and on top of that we proovide a deadly laugh session each day..cool...i want to be a canon guy...it can't be much fun than that i suppose...and it must be well payed too as it is very dangerous cause of the laugh-death thing so...

And consider a posting by one of the faithful here that:
Canons new 1D IIN replacement had:
> JPEG, RAW and HD Photo
> Dual DIGIC III
> 10mp & 10 fps
> 6400 ISO
> Special CS3 and DPP support for HD Photo
And (sob) that the 1Ds III and 40D and medium format would all not be seen at this PMA... (Madness if true since the 40D is ready by all reliable accounts and a photographer contact of mine now in NYC has seen the 1Ds II replacement at one of the studios there) Perhaps (as has been hinted) Canon are going to draw things out with several announcements accross the year in this their 20th anniverasy of the EOS system)
Consider that the posting (from about 1 hour ago) lasted maybe 60 seconds before it was deleted (presumably by its author)...
However even the counter article only shows marginal (2db) advantage to HD Photo over JPEG 2000 (both trounce traditional JPEG)
If Canon have adopted HD Photo (which is better than standard JPEG in that it can support more than 8 bits per colour etc) I seriously hope they have also supported the more open, widely available and seemingly also very good JPEG 2000.
Not sure if it's already posted (be damned if I'm going to trawl through 336 pages to find it) but In this months Practical Photography mag, Warehouse Express have listed a 400 f5.6 IS L for ~Ģ890 (or thereabouts, I've forgotten the actual price). I'm sure its probably a typo but you never know...
The warehouse express website does not list it however.

The above is a plausible new 1D2n. Adding a couple of fps and mps even with 6400iso won't obsolete anybodies 1D2. I don't see many camera store doors being busted down. Noticed it didn't say 1.3 or FF? That would make a big difference.
If there are several new models this year, I see marketing advantages to spreading them out over several months. Still no reason to rush a new 1Ds release. Wait till after competitors introduce their flag ship and steal their thunder.

With todays prices per gigabyte, I'm not all that interested in lossy compression formats. Nice, don't get me wrong, but if I have any say in it, I'd like to see Canon add support for Adobe's DNF, Digital Negative Format, the royalty free publicly available RAW format. It's more important to me to have an open format, so even 20 years from now someone can create software with full support for it.

Pentax is using the DNF in the K10D already. 'Bout time the others did , me's think.
I agree... BUT
These formats like HD Photo, JPEG are for the P&S crowd as much as anyone and we need to remember that unless it has changed recently Canon and (from memory Nikon) doesn't release its RAW format calibaration details, white balance encoding etc - the RAW developers have to crack them... Sad really - I'd I was a DSLR manufacturer I'd be falling over myself to get the best possible support from the major image editors etc...

Dual processor? I think tyour information comes from a funny guy.
If Canon want more speed they already have Digic3 and ddr-ram.
What Canon really needs is new A/D converters with speed, excellent S/N ratio and NO BANDING.

Though the website has the 400mm f5.5 L for Ģ835... Perhaps that is what you were looking at... Any IS version would be more... Barring a miracle of course

Not long to go now
In all seriousness (don't worry, this won't last long), Nikon is the worst at keeping to themselves, and changing their RAW files. They encrypt the white balance so you can buy their supa dupa software (which is actually quite good, but should be free with the camera).
Initially they wouldn't even release the white balance encryption to Adobe, and there were fighting words for a while. I think the CEO's mothers' came over and clipped both of them around the head a few times, and made them sit in on the floor and build lego or something together.
Donīt worry too much, the body camera itīs an old design (1984) made by Colani (I hope I did it wrote correctly). It was a biodesign exercise although it looks very actual as I did mentioned in a thread something like 150 pages ago.
For the rest, itīs a compilation of all the rumors known until now.
Maybe he would... but I did not pick my screen name in an effort to please Frank, even if you could please a dead man. However I suspect he really wouldn't give a #### about my screen name.

That would explain it... I thought that was kind of a 'ugly' thing... and can understand that it may have been 'interesting' in 1984... Thanks for the explaination.
