"5D mkII" announced on monday?

Most of us expected the announcement around 22nd August. That's the date Canon usually announced new cameras/lenses. Well they did disappoint us this year. So everybody really expects the annoncement on monday or tuesday. I mean they have to do something, because Nikon is really making their customers "switch boats" with D700, which really outperformes the "ancient" 5D in basically all aspects.

Anyway, here are the rumoured specs:

# new body design with integrated grip"
# "ISO 100-12500"
# "new processor"
# "6-8 fps"
# "3.2 inch lcd (not oled)"
# "I don't know how many MP, my friend believes it is more than 15 MP but there is no certain number he'd tell. Personally I was hoping high-around 18 MP cam, may be it will be."
# "Different name: not 3D, not 7D or 5D Mark II... something different; looks like it might have different names for Europe, USA and Asia (like kiss, xsi, d450 etc)"

What is sad that Canon has become too complacent, a resurgent Nikon is kicking Canon in the mid-range camera.
I know quite a few are moving onto D700. Sad

Its now known as the 5D-inosaur. Over a year past its best before date. If they wait til PMA 2009, Nikon is going to scourch their a$$, and I am a Canon guy. With as long as its been for an upgrade, they better pull a serious rabbit out of their backside.

I think Canon needs to pull something else out of their backside, and it's not a rabbit.

Someone said that 'on Monday is a Bank Holiday in the UK so no-one will be at work. Why would they want to announce an important camera when no-one's around"?
