It may not wait
I received new information from a couple of sources regarding a new Rebel for PMA. Both sources claim that a new dslr is definitely coming, and the Rebel will be it.
1D3n/1D4
There will be no new pro camera body for PMA they both say as well.
Neither had any information in regards to new lenses.
Waterproof Camera [CR2]
Is Canon going to wise up and release a waterproof/shockproof camera for PMA? One of the sources thinks so.
Panasonic recently launched one and I'm willing to bet Olympus is going to lose a ton of sales because of it (SD Cards instead of xD).
There's nothing defininitive at this time.

If Canon arnt releasing a new 1D3n it might mean they are going to release a substantial replacement later in the year or early next year. Maybe the 1D4 or 3D with FullFrame and new autofocus?? Although i would like a new 1D now, it might be better if they did not rush with it, as the current 1D3 is still a very capable Camera.
Sorry I would touch a 1D3, still have my 2Ns. the 1D3 is to Canon what Tylenol was in the early 80s. If don’t know what that means, look it up. Just too many other professionals I work beside have or are in the process of switching to Nikon. Last NCAA basketball event I worked, 8 of the 11 photographers were Nikon, including AP, New York Post.
Since when have you ever met a camera salesman who is well informed?
the new 1D will come out this year… and it’ll be fine and all the crying will stop… now how about some nice lens anouncements? I’m still dreaming of a 200-500/5.6 IS with optics like the 70-200/4 IS…. I’d drop my 400/5.6 prime in a heart beat… and probably start selling plasma and whatever else I can to afford it :P
Squeeze out a kidney and you could pick up that new EF 800 f/5.6 IS and a 1DsMkIII as well! ;)
