1D4 Frame Rate
An anonymous email says the new 1D4 will be a 12fps camera. This is the reason it is staying APS-H.

New battery and battery grip?
Apparently so.
The Bp-511 has been around a long time and is overdue to be replaced with a chipped and more expensive battery. A new battery grip will contain new ergonomic features. Those features are unknown at this time.
2000D
New source says the new Rebel will not have a tilt and swivel screen.

I'm in Cusco at the moment and having a wonderful time. I've only spent 1 full day here.
Thanks to everyone for the donations, I will post a pic of the kids you helped later in the week.

The one thing id really like to see is some kind of panic button/mode or the like. 99.9% of the time people decide to crash in front of me when im doing arty slow pans so id like a button (or voice activated would be really cool) that instantly puts the camera into a pre defined set of shooting parameters that you have already configured. That would be a real killer ap for a motorsports tog.

APS-H sucks because it locks you into a 1.3 crop and ruins your wide angle lenes.
Why would you not want a dynamic crop like Nikon offers? Why would not want a FF that could go to 1.3 and 1.6 on command, and give you CHOICES for how you want to shoot? For Canon to ignore that is stupid of them.
Oh, god-forbid anyone should want more options on their camera. Go buy a Nikon if you want options. We’re talking about Canon here, where we want the least amount of options for our money possible!!! NOT.
The 5DmkII has 3 fully customizable modes on the dial. I typically shoot with the M-P dial modes, but when I hand it to my wife, I spin it to C2. C3 for when I hand it to a tourist to take a photo of us. C1 isn’t configured yet, as I can’t think of a third person who’s going to use my camera.
I imagine that most of their newer lines are going to have the same dial settings which you can use as a panic button to get to various settings quickly. That way you can use C2 for slow pans or the like and should a crash happen, spin the dial to C3 (it’s the last one, so you can do it without looking) and you could be in Tv mode with auto ISO to get quick action shots or any other choice you want.
Call me old fashioned but I want to frame my shot looking through my camera. Why should Nikon shooters have that as an option and not us? That’s all I’m saying. For years Canon gave us more options than the other guys, I hope they get back to that idea.
Also, there could be the option with dynamic crop to use EF-S lenses, not that that interests me at all, but for anyone who started out with a 50D and some EF-S glass and then upgraded it would nice for them.
