I posted it as a joke, but if we're on the subject - I'm no great fan either, but people who shoot sports and wild animals swear by it. Tried focusing a bird in flight while following with a 600mm lens? I have, with an EOS3, and the EC is amazing. just give a glance to the bird and it doesn't even need to be in the middle of the frams, the shot is yours.

this thread has not been deleted (like the one in "canon forum"). this could mean that the specs aren't right and thus don't have to be removed. this is only speculation but i think it's worth to think of. the other possibility is that it hasn't been deleted because it's not much earlier than the real announcement. hm. let's see. i still hope on 1.3x crop.

even if a thread is right, i doubt it would be deleted. several threads in the 1D/1Ds forum basically got the 1D Mark II specs right and were not deleted.

Kind of off topic, but how does it work? Sounds like something that Canon would really be trying to push?

I don't know if this info is true or not but I think it's probably quite close. I sent my own guess in this forum some days ago and I also expected to see
Basicly new model will be here to hit back against Nikin D70. With these specs Canon has answered to Nikon even before D70 is out. And 10D2 will more like replacing model to 10D, not necessary clear upgrade for the 10D owners.
Interesting.
The most interesting point here definitely 45 point AF. It would be good. At the moment I own 10D and I have plans to update to 10D2 with these specs. Not even 8MP would be enough. I have to admit that eye focusing could be
People have complained about the body but I think that's the direction we are going: less weight but still durable material. If you put a good Canon IS lens to that body it will be definitely heavy enough

Not for me. If you have used the 45pt system and then set a CF to limit it to 11 pt and tied spot metering to those 11 pts, you will find it very useful indeed, not have to recompose all the time or use exposure lock.
If these specs are true then the Mk II is a substantially better camera than current model and it will worth buying. Digic II will yield lower noise and seeing the 10D is already good, it should be exceptional. Hopefully they will use a weaker AA filter and the new microlens array of the 1D MK II, to further improve image quality.

Well if anybody here thinks a 10D has a better body than a EOS 3 for durability I'd like to see in what way. Magnesium sounds exotic, but given the strength and thermal properties of polycarbonate and it's impact resistance I don't see it as inferior.Now the ability to crush a 300D w/ metal skeleton with your bare
hands would definitely be something I'd like to see. Then you could
get on Letterman and crush an NFL helmet for the big bucks.

That's called a 1D. If they gave you a larger sensor you would then complain about the higher price. You haven't even seen images from it and you are complaining. Digic II brings many improvements, including lower noise and greater dynamic range.
It's amazing how many people say 6MP is easily enough and when it seems the new 10D may have 6MP well all we hear is where's my 8MP 1.3x FOV camera. If you can afford $4500 you've got one. This new 10D will be
locking on something else? I tried using AI SERVO and multipoint in swim meets but the camera went nuts locking here, locking there, locking everywhere! It loved the waves in the pool. I can see it for birds in flight with no trees in the background . . . but can you really use it for anything that might present alternative targets? Cindy

I'm no expert unfortunately. Chuck did try to explain it (search for AI Servo here, you should find it).

If we get a true announcement tonight it will make my day. I have a service plan replacement pending on my 10D, but I may tell them to cancel the order and wait for this one. Best Buy doesn't carry the 10D anymore, but it's DEVO which means they exchange it outright...woohoo! They were planning to have a corporate buyer order one in from their vendor special because I wouldn't settle for the 300D and some cash...no way, wanted my 10D customs...but this rumored 10D MK II, that's unprecedented...and it would be an awfully sweet freebie!

I have YET to see any announcement of any Canon "higher end" camera, without some sort of leak.
It won't happen.
Good night.
