I think these may be based on the fact that the original press release for the Digital Rebel was August 20th 2003 ... The rumor mill is now churning out some credible reports that my suspicions may be right. The likelyhood of an 8MP sensor has gone up from maybe 50/50 to "quite likely", I'd say there's now a 80% probability that sensor in the new DSLR will be 8MP and have a 1.6x crop factor. Makes perfect sense to me."</i><br /><br />The rumours appear to have stabilized now to reveal a Canon EOS 20D that will set you back about $1600 and will have an EF-S lens. The new model should also have a 1.6x sensor, not 1.3x, because of the required compatibility with EF-S lenses. I guess we will know real soon now.

Yeah, if you haven't bought it yet then it might be worth waiting. There are other tiny pieces of information trickling in (nothing hugely new yet) but they all make this camera sound awesome.

I'm still looking for the press release that this goes with but at least you've now got some eye candy :)

Hmm, looks like a 10D. I guess that makes sense.

The new lens has a nice focal range, but is also on the slow side. Ah well.

Can't wait to see it. Been debating on a dSLR... used to be heavy into photography but got out a few years ago (nature of my business). But "the bug" has me bit and this is just the way to get infected. :wink:
