I can't help feeling let down by Canon -- AGAIN

The first time was when shortly after purchasing a new 20D with an 8 M pixel sensor, Canon releases a new digital Rebel with a 10. I passed on the 30D holding out for the next in the family, hoping it would sport a 12 M pixel sensor. Wrong! The 40D gets the Rebel's sensor with some improvements. Then after I buy the 40D here comes a Rebel with a 12.

And what about all those who stated that going to that pixel density would result in a reduction of resolution, that we were treading on exceeding the lens's resolution.

I know my 40D is an exceptionally good camera And I'm not sorry I bought it. But it still baffles me when Canon gives the goodies away to their plastic version and adds some even better features to it as well when compared to their xxD line.
