A new rebel is coming. How will it be better than the last?

This is from Canon Rumors:

"A spec list we were given has the upper end Rebel split into two different cameras, a 750D and a 760D. The North American naming was not given for the cameras. We expect an announcement for a new Rebel(s) to come in the next few weeks.

The biggest thing I notice in this specification list is the 24.2mp image sensor. It has been assumed by most that any new Rebel would have the 20.2mp sensor from the EOS 70D.

Canon Rebel 750D/760D Specifications

24.2MP sensor and Canon’s DIGIC 6 image processor

Five frames per second continuous shooting mode

19 cross-type AF point system

Hybrid CMOS AF III

Rear Quick Control Dial (EOS 760D )

Creative movie modes (EOS 760D )

Wi-Fi and NFC

This information comes from an unknown source and I’m hoping for some clarification on the model split if it is indeed true. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of difference between the 2 models. Please notice the [CR1] rating on this post, and treat it accordingly.

Thanks for posting. This is very interesting. I can't believe they will have 24MP - Canon just came out with 7D mark2 which only has 20MP and 7D2 is its best non-full frame camera at the moment. Flicker detector is somewhat of an obscure feature, it is only useful if you shoot sporting events, I doubt it is needed on an entry level DSLR. Wifi is basically a must at this point.
