Someone at Fred Miranda says there could be a trade-in program for current 1d3 owners when Canon releases its replacement.”The other very interesting bit of info he passed along was the Canon rep told him that there will probably be a program where present owners of the 1DmkIII will be permitted to turn in there cameras toward a new 1DmkIIIN. When there will be a MKIIIN wasn't clear.”

With PMA a day away, all the rumors and guesswork have become quite silent. Canon has nothing else coming for PMA.Everyone else seems to have lots….
Canon to follow the Nikon path with a really quick update to a camera? Nikon did it with the D40 to D40x. Some think Canon is about to do the same with the 40D at PMASame specs except for 12.2mp, 3″ VGA LCD and Contrast AF in live view.POTN
Over at DPR, someone claims to have been given a bit of insight into what's going to actually happen at PMA. Apparently Canon might not be done just yet.Canon announcing anything at PMA would surprise a lot of people, but every so often Canon does something no one has expected. Maybe this is one of those times.There is some speculation there could be something with SED, Canon's vaporware television technology.That seems unlikely.There is also some translated information at POTN that states Canon will be replacing everything in the EOS line in 2008. I expect a new 5D, 1d and perhaps…

Next year at this time we will be discussing the newly announced 50D from Canon. I don't believe they will be doing away with the XXD line yet in favor of a FF option.EOS 50D Specs:MP: 12.2Crop: 1.6xAF: 15 PointBit Depth: 14bitProc: DIGIC IVISO: 100-3200 (6400 H)VF: Bigger & BrigherLCD: 3″ VGAFPS: 8fpsWeather Sealing: More than the 40DMemory: SD & CFLiveview: Full AFSpecial: Real Auto ISOSpecial: Movie ModeThere are other ideas about built in WiFi and a Hard Drive battery grip, those are probably not happening.
With no new FF camera from Canon for PMA (we're assuming), there's a few people that are wondering if they'll be announcing anything in the UK next month at Focus. I think it's safe to say they won't be. Canon's history says they announce for PMA or Photokina.There's going to be tons of rumors about 2 new FF cameras from Canon, I'm one of the people that believe they will do it.One of the things a lot of people are discussing today is the contrast detection AF in live view mode on the XSi. Most people are assuming it wouldn't…
Here it is.I did fairly well with my predictions. I'm a bit bummed there isn't a movie mode. The camera will be shipping in April.The updates appear good, it makes the Sony Alpha 200 look ancient already.The images will tell us more in due time.A few things…1. Does saying “XSi” seem weird to anyone else? “excess eye”… it's probably just me.2. This new Rebel has contrast detect AF in live view mode. Here's hoping there is a firmware update for the 40D.3. What is “Auto Lighting Optimiser”? A version of Sony's DRO?4. There's a new battery form factor for the…
A lot of people are sad that there is no new full frame offering from Canon. I guarantee you will see one at Photokina! (quite the guarantee eh?)Maybe a new 1D too? hmmmmm
