Canon EOS 40D MkII

OK. Now, I’m lost. This can’t be! A rumour surfaced this week on DPR about a possible upcoming Canon EOS 40D Mk II.

• new 12 MP gapless microlens CMOS sensor which employs the 5D markII improved output amplifier, and a more advanced color filter with superior light transmission
• Digic IV
• 100-3200 base ISO, expanded L1- 50, H1- 6400
• Liveview with new more advanced algorithm contrast based AF with tracking capabilities
• Movie mode, with the ability to use the upper mentioned contrast AF
• 5D markII LCD
• 5D markII battery system
• AF microajustment
• Fulltime weathersealing
• Everything else, same specs from the 40D…

To me, it looks like somebody angry at the spec of the Canon EOS 50D and wishing more.
