Canon 40D not dead

Canon rumors is saying that 2 new Canon SLR’s still valid, apparently from a valid source. Quote is also that  “The 40D is safe for a while” so does that mean no replacement for Photokina.

However it doesn’t mean that the 40D still won’t be a “current” camera if a 50D is launched. The 400D was still in Canon’s lineup after the 450D was released and was for some time, though it didn’t seem logical, it’s certainly not unknown in other industries.

If the 40D stays positioned where it is, a higher spec 1.6 crop 50D could be the model to compete  against the D300. On the other hand with a ‘low’ price recently of the 40D recently it could mean it’s just making room for a bigger brother.

Then all everyone wants to hear will be a 5D mk2 to go head to head with the D700 at a lower price level say £1500 / $2700 !
