Canon, when can we expect new sensors?

A lot of us are aware of current limitations of Canon sensors (from their 1100D to the 5D2 and I'm betting the new 5D3). For me, the most annoying is their (full 2 stops) lack of DR against Sony's sensors (used, AFAIK, in Sony, Nikon and other cameras). Here is a very detailed explanation, with test included, about what is wrong with Canon.

So, my question is, is there a way to know when are their next generation of sensors coming to the market? I'm invested with Canon (4 lenses) and I don't want to lose money, changing all my gear to other brand, only to realize (maybe, what, in September?) that Canon has launched new cameras with new sensors that are way better than current Sony offers....
