Word is there are two Canon bodies getting released at Photokina in Sep...one is the 50D and the other noone knows...but since suppliers can't buy any more 5Ds from Canon one would assume that will be the other model released...so hope that is the case!

I've been told that the 50D is not a 40D replacement - they will offer both models for a while. Canon want to take advantage of that area of the market with more options for the consumer to choose from.
