Ever since I bought the original Canon G1 back in 2001, I've wished for an articulating screen on a Canon SLR. It's incredibly useful, and it changes the way I look compose my images. I've been planning to buy a new 5DII, but I'm holding off to see whether the new Rebel includes the articulating screen. That's how important I think it is; I'd be willing to forgo a full-frame chip just to get a swivel screen. All I really really want is the articulating LCD.

So far I’ve heard about 15mp, 3'' screen that rotates, 18000 ISO (!), HD video with sound and AF, jog etc. All these in a entry level body?? It sounds more like a 55D or 60D rather a 500d. That would be a decent competition against Nikon D90. To be honest I, too, hope it would be a “cheap” 500d (but then a 50d is dead). Hm Let’s wait till tomorrow Too good to be (totally) true.

I don't see any canon-related info on it. Anonymous, what is the point of that link to a Japanese website? I don’t see any canon-related info on it.

Way too close to the 50D. It seems a tad too much for a Rebel anyway. They don't need to raise the MP to 15. I just can't see the ISO on a Rebel going up to 12800. 6400 maybe. 3200 I can see. I'm sure they'll put in movie mode as it's being something the consumers are wanting. As said in earlier posts, it would be extremely pointsless with those specs. Way too close to the 50D.

I went through a fashion week (variable lighting conditions and using AI servo) shot about 7k pictures with it and had no problems at all. Are you having problems with the AF?

If they are really pushing the ISO that high and can improve over the 50D/40D IQ I will definitely pick one up for beating around with at concerts/streets. I'm also thinking about sending my 5DmkII in for warranty repairs. Did a shoot the other day and showed some banding issues. Supposedly they will just swap out the sensor with some newer "fixed" ones. Anyone else done this? @billbottoms -

Still, one hopes for 25th March...my 40D is a lemon...will not get sharp wide open on any lens...been in the service centre for the fifth time running. bugger my Q; went and searched for 450D pics and lo and behold, same lighting / light sources, so I guess its a fakey…

The 500d logo on the front of the camera is a higher resolution at the pixel level. Also, the 'D' is raised up. Definitely looks like a layer overtop of an xsi. Ran 2 photos through CS4.
