Canon 50D is coming before Photokina?

It appears that Canon is leaking nothing about the 5D mk2 (if there is such a thing), the postings on dpreview are suggesting the 50D is real and that the product will be announced before Photokina. This is following more posts ‘talking’ about the Hawaii dealer meeting. (people are staying tight lipped with details). The theory seems to be that if it happens then the 5D mk2 will be shown at the Photokina show and not before.

I just visited my local Canon retailer this morning. The owner just got back from a Canon meeting is Hawaii. I asked him if he knew anything about the potential 5D replacement…He said, no, nothing before the end of September. Apparently at some photo convention in Germany.

However, he did say that a 40D replacement is coming shortly. 50D, 15mp, weather sealed..Didnt get too into spec talk cause I’m not it that market. He couldn’t remember if it was 5 or 8 fps, but he said it was pretty cool.
