When does the XSi replacement come out?

[Cadenza]

After I got my 5D2 I sold my trusty old XT for $250. I'm thinking that I want to get a more current 1.6x for light use as a backup.

So does anyone know when the XSi replacement will come out in Canon's product cycle? And what will it be called? (XV/XVi? XX/XXi? maybe XQ? do the letters following X mean anything?) I bet they'll go up to 15MP, have 3200/6400 ISO, and a better implementation of AF on live view.

either this March (12 months cycle) or this fall (18 months cycle).

It will be called XRi.

now that they have the XXXXD line, I hope they bring the wheel to the XXXDs

I'd love 3200 ISO and a VGA screen

If they have any brains, whenever it is it will maintain 12MP instead of 15MP! Noise on 50D is not looking well compared to 40D from a few examples I've seen. You just cannot push that many pixels in this size sensor in my opinion. I have a 40D and will keep it. Also have an XSi and will keep it if they go to 15MP on the replacement..
