Canon 50D rumor from Hawaii

There’s reports on dpreview of a new 50D in a post relating to a Canon USA dealers conference in Hawaii.
The 50D is coming, it was shown this week to camera store owners. Canon USA flew them to Hawaii to show it off, as well as the 18-200IS lens… It is being touted as a camera to go up against the D300 and will sell for a few hundred less maybe… dissapointing really, when everybody is expecting the 5D replacement, and they flew everyone to Hawaii…

Now that would be a nice price if it does compare to the D300 in performance, I think it would be pitching in at the right pricing point, it would be a good upgrade for 400D/450D users, maybe even the 40D buyers. It would also leave ground for Canon to pitch in with the 5D mk2.

There are also statements are that the 5D mk2 won’t be seen until the Photokina show in late September -  that will keep people posting theories that Canon has ‘lost it’
