by the way.. for those who have been on the fence on whether to buy the new 400D or wait for
the rumored 40D, read this...

I put a thread on a couple of weeks ago after I got some info from a Canon contact. However much of this info was incorrect and I reposted after I got further info and retracted my statement. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...ssage=20097443

Anyway, long story short, I was a bit embarrassed after the post, so I have been pushing for further information from up the Canon ladder.

I recieved a call just 20 minutes ago from one of the senior managers in Canon Hong Kong. We had a quick chat over current models and the new 400D, then I mentioned all the talk regarding a possible 40D and explained that I wanted more information on this. He had the information to hand as was aware that was what I was looking for. Details he gave me were.
- The unit current planned to be called 40D
- No prototype is even available yet
- Specification have not been confirmed
- Launch will not be this year, but nothing confirmed for when next year

- Canon are aware of the growing rumors but don't plan to make any public announcment at the moment

This has come from a very reliable source, the called was patched through to me from one of my vendors so I know this was the person he said he was.

I personally now trust nothing will be public until next year, so I can put my dreams of holding a 40D on hold and carry on a happy path with my 30D.

For those that want to know why I recieved the call, I was pushing my vendor very hard to get me the information I needed and they get a lot of business from me, over HK$35 Million a year, so were happy to help push for the info.

but don't take my word for it
