50d?! Anonymous
What do 4chan think about this "roumor"? Why would Canon release a new 40d?! I understand a follower for the 5d.. But the 40d? It just got released!

Probably the same reason with Nikon & their D300&700.

If those specs are to be believed, then it's pretty underwhelming. I was planning on finally graduating from my Rebel XT too...

Here's to hoping that the info from China is as credible as their reported gymnasts' ages.

Underwhelming compared to the 40D, yeah. Hell of a step up from an XT, though.

If this is true, though, it does mean that prices on 40Ds should drop fairly precipitously.

(I'm really happy with my 40D and have no regrets about upgrading to it from my XTi)

(Though also, there's a nonzero chance of a 5DII coming out at the same time, which should be, if not an overwhelming upgrade, at least a whelming upgrade)

That's a one stop push from the D300's 6400. *One stop*. Why is that a "lol"?

>lol @ stealing Nikon's CA correction

Yeah, just like Nikon and everybody stole autofocus from Konica. Damn bastards, delivering useful technology to photographers.

>lol @ taking so long to get their shit together and install Nikon quality LCDs in their cameras.

Wait, do people really give a damn about LCDs?

Bad photographers who have to chimp a lot.

It's another rumour. Don't you remember how many of these stupid rumours we have every single year?

Yeah, but these rumors are pretty believable, considering they are leaked from an official canon site. However, Canon will have a press conference the 26. so we'll see then.

it seems like a very aggressive release schedule for canon to bring out the 50d already. the 40d is still fairly young.

Yeah, so's the D300, D3, and D700.

Nikon has upped the heat considerably. And the 40D isn't *that* young.

Well, everyone has been saying that Canon would need to get something out of the door to keep up with Nikon's new releases, so this would make sense. A 5D to go with it though would be better...
