How do you know the maximum capabilities of the Digic 4? Is there an assumption that the 50D is pushing that processor to the limit of its capabilities? It might not be...
true, since it would cost more to make a faster shutter/mirror.
I thought someone said the digic iv was only 30% faster though.
but who knows, quite a few of the rumors do peg it as 5fps.
edit: also, the xxD use the digic to AF too, 1 series don\'t. maybe the new 5 would also have a separate AF chip??
