D60 replaced by Rebel Di

I just heard about production stop of the D60 and a replacement to be announced in februari based on the latest Rebel (EOS 300v). According to my, generally well informed, source in the industry Canon would introduce this new camera with the current 6Mp CMOS sensor at a much lower price ($1200 / 1500 EUR MSRP). The Sigma Sd9 fighter? It would also resolve some hardware issues that cause the 'black thumbnail' problem. Main advantage of the camera: faster and cheaper to produce. Greater production capacity seems to be necessary to enhance supply and reduce waiting lists.
