it isn’t that difficult to throw a few renders and imaginary specs together.

That I never would have believed!

Had the 450d already in my shopping basket. But now of course I wait to see what Canon will bring.
What do you think?
How much will the new Rebel cost?

Because the Rebel cameras are Canon’s main source of income in the DSLR sector. They sell these by the truckloads. If they put in the awful 50D 15 MP APS-C sensor in the next Rebel without any improvement whatsoever, it’ll be a shame ‘cos people will stop buying the Rebel. Anyway, Canon deserves to go downhill for refusing to heed consumer needs.

ISO 3200
Body size won’t be bigger, they keep the rebels small on purpose

Yes, the 40D/50D have aq much improved centerpoint, it does both cross and diagonal motion tracking, but to my knowledge the rest of the points are the same. So the 40D/50D focus is a bit better than the rebels, though not amazingly so.

If the new Rebel makes movies, has ISO 3600 and has a bigger body, I’ll buy it.

Anyone knows if the 40D/50D autofocus is better than the Rebel line?

Making the live view LCD tilt would be worthwhile even if they have to make it slightly smaller in the process. One of the main points of live view is to enable you to check focus etc. when it would be impossible or extremely uncomfortable to get your eye to the viewfinder. I’m thinking mainly of tripod shots in odd locations (e.g. camera a few inches above the water of a river/lake, or pointing almost vertically up for a picture of a tall building) or holding the camera above some obstacle.

I really don’t get why we need another entry body in the canon lineup….

DxO also points out that the 40D is better than 50D…

explain where either of those companies is ahead – if you owned one of those cameras you’d be saying the same thing just like they do in the nikon forums and for gods sake – SONY? do they still make SLR’s? That A900 is atrocious above 800 and no video and a 2200 dollar 70-200 and and 1800 dollar 24-70. what makes those so special?
