FEB announcement for a new APS-C? Not for 5d II/X?

[JerryFish]

Looking back at the some of the older posts, I came across this one from CR on November 8th...

Received word today, that the next planned DSLR announcement from Canon will be in February 2012. It’s a loose date and could happen at the end of January as well. The floods in Thailand are messing with parts availability.

It will most likely be a camera using the current 18mp sensor, with some modifications. Expect DIGIC V as well

I’m told from the same person we’ll see a lens announcement before the next DSLR. No word on what.
Next “G”?

Again, the same person is saying the next “G” series camera will be a departure from what we have now.

With that information, assumably from a single source we have the following:

1. The "G" series camera was clearly the G1X, so that information was accurate... CHECK

2. The new lenses BEFORE we see a new camera body. We have the three new lenses posted today (24mm, 28mm, and 24-70mm) which may come before/with a new body.... CHECK

3. New APS-C body in february???

The source clearly has a source of reliable infomation for the first two portions, and the tip was posted months before the G1X and new lenses. Could we be seeing an new APS-C body on the predicted "feburary announcement" instead of the anticipated FF body? Only a T4i (same 18MP sensor) with the two non-L wide angle primes?

Doesn't the 1DX have an 18mp sensor - could be the 3D then 8) 8) 8)
