Updated Lens Info [CR2]
I'm still waiting on CR3 confirmation, so these are one step lower at CR2.
18-135 3.5-5.6 IS
15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
The macro still holds true.
No 70-200 f/2.8L IS update according to this source.

This is from one of my Asian sources, thanks for the info.
I don't have EXACT specs, but I do have some features.

The 7D rumor started way back in January. The specs are off, but the concept of the camera has been correct.
I'm promised more to come.

APS-C is 15mm X 22.5mm (337.5 mm^2), APS-H is 18.5 X 27.7mm (512.45 mm^2). So The APS-H is 50% bigger than the APS-C. Assuming everything else is equal,including total pixel count, the APS-H will have at least twice less noise than the APS-H. Also since it is 23% larger in the length and width. It have less demand on the resolution of the lens. That is why the 1D is always APS-H. Canon Has been making the most (best) out of the situation for its second most expensive DSLR. I have not yet get into the limitation due the the law of physics yet.
By the way,I am down on the 1.6 crop factor. I am down on the 15 mp sensor with 1.6 crop factor. Under this condition, even the Canon L lens will not have enough resolution to handle it. Also the law of physic for the image start to be unsharp at opening less than f. 6.3.
I am still using a 20D now. Since it is a 10 mp sensor, the above problem can hardly affect me. Even now, a lot of the camera test site is still using the 20D as a yard stick for noise. I like the feature of the 50D. If it had a sensor with only 10 mp, I could have brought it already. This shows you that I am down on APS-C in general.
what is a built in flast master? Can someone explain?
what if it was free?
I think Canon will try to charge more than $1800 at the beginning.
Eventually, though, the price will have to settle at $1700-1800.
built in flash master means that one can trigger external flash even though it is not attached to the camera hot shoe mount. Should be applicable to any external canon speedlite (not the 270EX though)
