Or go to the CNET home page if the link doesn't work.

Sorry for the cruel premature alarm.

Hardly "Announced". That UPC code was posted here months ago.

Guys, check this out

http://www.upcdatabase.com/item.asp?upc=0013803086706

it is said to have the spec as below

-12mp
-5fps,Up to 21 RAW files
-dust removing system
-15-point TTL CMOS sensor
-Center point additionally sensitive with lenses of F2.8 or faster
-96% frame coverage
-Magnification: 0.71x
-3.0 " 640×480 TFT LCD (920,000 pixels)
-ISO 50-3200 extended to 12800 and 25600
-DIGIC III, 14-bit
-Canon EF lens mount (not EF-S)
-Live View Mode
-The Body Is Much Identical to 5D, Could Share The Handgrip
-Surprisingly cheap, US: $ 1,899

I believe it is use to counter Nikon's D300, which falls around the same price range
I would prefer 7D over D300 if you ask me, it's still a full frame!

where did you get those specs from

[tuan209]

I got those specs on the canon forum over at DPREVIEW. I am not sure if the source is credible.

[amoergosum]

ah come on.....it's made up..

"Surprisingly cheap, US: $ 1,899"

L O L really? i'll take two. hehe

[Chosenbydestiny]

Wow, that is a surprise for the the price indeed. Kind of takes my focus off the 40D too.

[jkoc]

"ISO 50-3200 extended to 12800 and 25600" ???

why not iso 6400?

[Kadath]

Because the guy who posted it is a troll who pulled the specs out of his butt? I want a 5Dm2 as much as anyone but please, dont feed the trolls!

[wernersl]

i agree...though they sound nice. but then again i can make a peanut filled pile of s**t SOUND nice!
