New Stuffs
This is some information from a couple of decent known sources about the upcoming 50D replacement. We should expect an announcement in the fall. Canon appears to be holding form on the new 1 year product cycle for the xxD line.
The Goodies
- The 60D will remain at 15.1mp. There will be an upgrade of the current sensor.
- There will be 1080p video at 30fps. Probably no manual control. What I got from this is the 5D2 will get a firmware functionality upgrade and the 60D will basically have what the 5D2 has now.
- We will see a newer AF system introduced.
- The camera will shoot 8fps.
- There will be a external mic jack.
- The camera will be DIGIC V
That's all I have for now.

Pass the buffer please.
if they improve the processing and sensor of the 50D, and give it all the functionality of the 5D2 now, AND it will get a semi-pro AF…i won’t see the point of keeping my 5D2. the DOF difference between 1.6 and FF isn’t big at all, which is basically why i ponied up for FF in the first place (only to be slightly disappointed).

Strange, Here in france 50D body is down to 999€ this week in the popular FNAC store… while 500D kit intro price is 999€ few days ago…. usualy you push down the price with a higher price model…. nothing in the 1500€ price tag here. surprise surprise ? 450D body at 500€, and 5D is close to 2000€
40D body has droped out, but can be foud at 700€ online (not a good deal) … 400D droped out recently as well.
