Riot, you have the 20D, would you say this is a 20D or not? |

As discussed above, definitely not. The body is thicker, the prism/flash is higher above the lens mount, it doesn't say DIGITAL like the 20D (the 5D doesn't either), the 20D doesn't have a silvered edge around the command dial (i think the 5D does), the curve under the prism/flash is much smoother than that of the 20D, the raised bits around the main dial are higher than on the 20D, the flat bit just in front of the hotshoe looks to be square (round on the 20D, not sure about 5D), the EOS label is not inset into the body on the 20D, and the seam joining the bit with the command wheel to the area with the flash popup button is in a different place.

It could sorta make sense. The EF85 1.2L is great but slow. In many cases the EF85 1.8 outperforms it, so undercuts sales. |

Well, there have been rumours for a bit about canon releasing a bunch of new primes, "optimised for digital" whatever that means... maybe this is one.

That's a pretty fun little pic. Some think it's a 35D, which would make a lot of sense as a step up from the 350 XT.
What is interesting is that there also sounds like there may be a 50D planned which would put a lower end FF camera out to fill out the FF line and begin the move over (or the market test to see if people are ready for the move over).
I wonder if we will see two 20D replacements revealed in Feb. |

whatever the 20D replacement is, i dont feel that anyone needs to go out and get it, becaus the 20D will still be a very very good camera and maybe the price will drop a bit, the only upgrade i forsee in my future is the 5D and probably most of yours unless you invested alot of money in the EF-S lenses,
just an opinion dont blow me out of the water

Others speculate it's 36D or 38DD :-) |

Probably has a bigger LCD on the back than a 20D. |

Here is the much clearer image of 30D
It has all any serious photographer ever dreamed of. |

STOP misleading people....everyone knows that's not the 30D/35D/50D, it's got a PRO form factor with built in battery grip.
EVERYONE knows that's a photo of the new Canon 3D

| Blast it, they went with an XT styled dial on the port side. I like the 20D dial so so so much better.... |

Eye control is a Canon system where the camera focuses on the focusing screen that you are actually looking at. In practice, the camera focuses on what you are actually looking at in the frame. You can actually change the focus by moving your eye.
I believe its actually a civilian adaptation of military technology that aims the gun in apache attack helicopters on to what the gunner looks at. It reads the postion of your iris and calculates what focusing area you are looking toward. |
does this really existe in film cameras? |
I STILL HAVE THE CANON A2E IT'S EYE CONTROL, PRETTY COOL

Actually, reading that thread there and looking at the pics more closely, looks like it's photoshopped. Look closer at the seam between the grip and the body, and the lens release button on the left of it. Also the lettering doesn't quite match, and the shadow under the mode dial isn't round. And the recession for the flash button is not round either.
Doesn't mean it's not still real, might be someone at Canon in their spare time 'photoshoppizing' a real picture to make people suspicious and make it unofficial. :P

That looks photoshopped to me as well. Some of the observations i made about the photo above... are missing here. The flash is the same height over the lens mount as the 20D, which it isn't in the original shot. The entire flash unit is copied from a 20D, the insidey bit is square on the original photo and round on the 20D. Lots of discrepancies in sizes around the near side of the body, and the main control dial isn't the one in the original photo as the flangey bits on the sides are raised in that, this looks like the 20D or maybe 5D's one?

| Even if 30d comes out I can't imagine any significant improvements that would be worth having over my 20d as it is already 100% |

im just pointing out that, the 20D next to the shutter button has a white dot, and the other one doesnt,
and on the bottom right it has a word and teh other one doesnt,

Well, let me edit my guesses.
First of all, it looks like it's gonna be 35D, not 30D.
1. The sensor size and MP will stay the same.
Wrong, I'm thinking about a 10.2MP now, and probably 1.6x crop. Maybe in a generation later, it'll be FF.
2. More fps and more buffer.
Well, about 4-5fps is my guess, buffer? Maybe 17-20 shots in RAW, which is close to the 5D, if I remember.
3. Size/weight. Probably slightly smaller and lighter, probably not by much though.
Wrong, the picture from the post above looks bigger. Maybe 10D size.
4. New battery?
doubt it as even the 5D uses BP511
5. Image Processing. Probably will rollout the DIGIC III and E-TTL III, just their marginal improvements as usual.
Still sounds good.
6. Price. Seeing as the improvements in technology is slowing down, the next thing to offer seems to be reduction in price.
Wrong. I'd estimate MSRP at about $1500, unchanged.
7. Bigger LCD, I'm starting to think 2 inch is the new minimum size.
Wrong again, I'd say 2.5inch
Lastly, the new photo style parameters for the JPEG crowd.
And since 5D costing twice as much doesn't have it, no eye control focus, weather sealing, WiFi stuff, GPS location data, bla bla bla.
I guess we'll know for sure in about a week or so.

I think it will come with a sensor and shutter button and a lens mount.
I'm very sure I'm right.

Somebody found a fun new game to play on the Canon site ...
//forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=17236088
The site isn't responding for me at the moment, but the thread is hilarious.
Not long to wait now ...

From Bob Atkins site regarding the new 30D.
"...and as of Feb 18th, there was recently a "placeholder" set of flash pages on a "Showtime by Canon" website (now it's a blank page of course), which purported to list a number of new Canon products including the EOS 30D (not 35D) plus an EF-S 17-55 lens (no other details given, but it my guess is probably a higher end f2.8 lens) and the long rumored 85/1.2L II (presumably upgraded to provide distance info for E-TTL II). The site seems genuine since it was linked to from an official Canon page a week or so ago (and of course that link has gone too!), but it's hard to tell if the placeholder info was real or just a "mock up" of what the real content will be."
So I guess it will be a 30D after all? And it looks like Canon is coming up with a fast cropped wide to mid zoom to compete against Sigma's 18-50 EX f2.8 DC and the upcoming Tamron 17-50f2.8 Di II. I guess we'll find out in a day or two.
