Unless this is a fake, some dope at Best Buy might have accidentally leaked a little tidbit of information that indicates the camera's pricing to be $1599.99. We're guessing that must be the price for the body only. Take a look at that stocking, pricing and availability info on the allegedly leaked photo above. If it's fo' reals, looks like we might be seeing it on September 2. There were also a few unconfirmed specs mentioned on the same site where we found this pic as well."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/unconfirmed40d.jpg" /><br /><br />This report is completely unconfirmed right now but there you have it. Specs on the EOS 40D have been available for a little while but in case you haven't heard - 10.2 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor, 5 fps and 30 large JPEG frame burst, integrated Cleaning System and a 2.5", 230K pixel, 170º wide viewing angle LCD screen are among the highlights.
