What's the track record of this site? As far as I can tell, Canon reps do not leak anything. Ever. Nor do camera / lens testers.
Don't get me wrong: I check Canon Rumors every day. There's no question I'm a fan. I enjoy speculating about what might be coming out and hearing other guesses about what's on the horizon.
But this site has not really had an edge on any new lenses / cameras that I can think of. Take the new fisheye zoom. There was a rumor here but there was no word whatsoever about the fact that it was a fisheye (the crucial detail, IMHO). And take the new 200mm-400mm - no rumer about that either that I noticed.
What does this mean? This site is great for gossip, or immediate notice that something new has been released. But the record of actually predicting future releases is . . . pretty bad.
