Rumor also said that 7D will have the Built-in Master flash, which could replace the ST-E2. If it's true, this feature will push this body above $2K, near $3K for a crop body. Yikes!!!
I doubt it'll add much to the price. Most Nikon and Sony bodies with on-board flashes already do this.

I was finally accepting that it is a 1.6 crop, then there is more 1.3 rumors. I hate everyone!!!!!
if it is 1.3 I will be buying one though.

the 15-85 will replace the 17-85 as the middle-priced USM lens.
I don't understand the 18-135, given the new 15-85 USM, the 55-250 and the 18-200. If it was a much better lens and had USM, that'd be one thing, but it isn't, so what's the point (btw -- there are supposed MFT charts floating around for the 15-85 and 18-135, and they don't look any better than the standard mid-range EF-S lenses).
Unless their new hybrid IS is coming to the low end lenses?? But that wouldn't make sense.
edit: and when i think about it, canon seems to have already set a precedent with abundant EF general zoom options:
28-80 (is this or a variant still in production?)
28-105
28-135
24-70
24-105
28-300
Thanks for this reply to the EF-s overlap...I thought the same thing, looking at the Canon Museum page...There is an abundance of overlap in the 24/28-XXX line also.

Does anybody know if the mirror on APS-H is small enough to fit an EF-S lens. If it hasnt been in the past I cant see how it cam be made so now either.
The mirror is not small enough.
1.3x is going to happen together with the 'affordable' FF
Assuming it is 1.6x crop, all features work as advertised - including an excellent AF, noise is controlled with good dynamic range, and a street price of $1500 USD in 3-6 months, then I will save up my pennies and get one. It will make a nice complement to my 5DMkII. Or maybe I sell my 5DMkII and get the 1DMkIV?

Whats the point of a 28-200, 28-135 and a 28-105 in the EF line up?

Rumor has it that the sensor will be APS-H (1.3 CF), and automatically switch to APS-C (1.6 CF) when an EF-S lens is mounted.
I love the idea of a dual-mode 18MP @ APS-H / 11MP @ APS-C, but I've not seen any evidence other than lots of people saying they really, really want that. Anything substantial that points to a 1.3 crop mode?
While we're speculating on APS-H, it would be cool to have a switchable crop mode (as opposed to an auto-switching arrangement dictated solely by the lens in use) so that, with (say) my 100-400mm attached, I could choose between APS-C "reach" and a wider, APS-H FOV, in camera.

That would have the benefit of reduced file size but not really increase "reach" for stills. However, if you are talking HD video, it would be sweet: big sensor downsampled going to HD vs smaller central potion (downsampled less) going to the same output stream would increase the "HD reach".

And? There are five general EF zooms.
exactly. and, the EF-S line isn't divided into Ls and non-Ls (despite the 17-55's price tag and super optics). i suppose this mental lack of division in the EF-S line (to me) makes the redundancy more apparent. anyway, i'm not criticizing this, for anyone with their dander up - just pointing out that there are a lot of very similar general zooms in the canon EF-S lineup (and in the EF line too). sort of jumped out at me when i looked at a list of lenses.
cheers
edit: i can't string a sentence together tonight. =/

I have been wanting a feature like this ever since using my 5D for wildlife.

I know your not, at least not wholeheartedly , I'm just doing the same as you--pointing a few things out is all

The only advantage that would give you is a slightly smaller RAW file, at the cost of cropping latitude. You would still be seeing the same viewfinder image and would still be capturing the same "pixels per duck".
