7D Crop & Tamron 17-50 VC [CR1]

1.45x Crop for the 7D?
I was sent an email saying that the new 7D will be APS-C, but with a 1.45x crop factor. Apparently this is the limit so that EF-S lenses still work without vignetting.

First appeared on a DPR forum posting, I couldn't find the link.

I have no confirmed source for this one.

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC
Received word that someone bumped into a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC (Vibration Correction) on Adorama's web site. It was retailing for $749. The link has been removed from Adorama's site.

Adorama give it up early?
