Until Canon says otherwise...fiction.

No doubt... those pictures look interesting though, but they're probably all Photoshopped 'artist impressions'

And off to the rumor forum this thread goes...

I'd be interested in a 5D MKII. I imagine it'll probably incorporate the sensor cleaning technology, larger LCD, maybe boast a faster shutter speed of 5 fps, improved buffer and ISO selectable to 6400. If I had to guess these would be the major subtle differences.

Ive seen those "pictures" on a rumour page before. They were found to be pretty much fake as far as i can remember.

Those pictures have been circulating for a while now, and proven to be fake.

o_o those are definitely fake pictures.. they look like 3D animations..

But I really wanna see a 5D MII

Cause then maybe the 5D will drop in price =)

Keep in mind that the 40D rumors have been floating around for 18+ months. Remember how many dozens of pages were adamant that it was coming out in August 2006 "right on schedule." Now we're seeing stock numbers and Canon-host pages and so on. By comparison, there's a total dearth of 5D2 trivia, so I suspect it's a ways off. Like most everyone else, I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt well see it within the year. August 08 seems much more realistic.

I didn't think there would be any truth and/or possibility of a 5D II this year, however, I just noticed that the 5D at B&H just dropped about $300 in price this week. It was at $2,850 or so and now it's selling at $2,585. Hopefully it's not just a sale or coincidence!! I would sell my car to get the new 5D!! I'm kind of tired of my Xt. It's a great camera but it's weak, small, and seriously lacking in options compared to the other SLR's in Canon's lineup. I do plan to keep my Xt in service as a second/backup camera since I shoot thunderstorms that take up a LOT of the sky and a massive wide angle isn't always the best solution, so two frames taking twice the amount of sky and lightning detail is ideal. Is the price drop an indication to a transition or am I mistaken?

Other places have had the 5D in the mid $2500 range for quite awhile. Must be B&H found out they were losing sales with their price gouging .
