New stuff
Received an email today in regards to a 50D replacement. Most of what was said was the same as most stuff we've received. Smaller form factor than the 50D and an articulating LCD screen.
The 2nd part of the email mentioned a video optimized 14.2mp sensor.
I have heard once before about a new sensor for the camera.

I think the 1000D is pretty good for what you pay. The only thing that lets it down is the AF, which I found quite slow and a bit unreliable.
That’s why I like the rumours about a 50D replacement in a slightly smaller body… best of both worlds.
Canon almost never reuses existing sensors even if the new sensor has the same number of pixels. So a new sensor in a new camera is expected.
My major remaining complaints about Canon DSLR cameras are lack of in body image stabilizer and lack of a tilt &swivel LCD screen. The new camera seems to address one of the problems. So I am looking forward to getting one.
Waiting for an image stabilizer in the camera is probably pretty pointless and I have too much Canon equipment to seriously consider Sony Alpha equipment.
If the person paying for it has a price limit, then go for the cheaper camera and spend the difference on extra lenses.
As per Canon’s own literature. IS mechanism should be tailored to individual lens (focal length dependent). therefore IS built -in the body may not be a optimized solution.
