Although, this is not a rumor it is a quote. I'll post it here

Wifes Chinese, she said it says this about the 5D

We will promote the powerful product. The intermediate camera "EOS 5D" will be able to have enhanced durable and the picture element successor type goes on the market. In we will promote a better product with the equal in value position in.

Basically they will release a succesor to the 5D with more MP's, enhanced durability at the same pricepoint

Don't be sorry. Everything else has been rumor mill. This is a Canon executive.

More fuel for the rumor fire.

The 5D has dropped in price at B&H since Christmas - not a guarantee of a replacement, but it is encouraging. . .

Have Fun,

Anyplace we can get a verbatum translation?

Is your wife babelfish? The phrasing looks nonsensical.

I'm chinese but can't read in chinese. When I translated it back to chinese it still didn't make any sense!!!

...then I'm interested if you sell your 5D.

Hey, I'm Chinese, too, and typed characters make no sense to me still. But then again, handwritten letters aren't much better.

Quotes are great, now let's see the new cam!

That is babelfish's exact translation

He's married to BabelFish?

Here is a better translation:

(This is an interview with Canon CEO)

What will be the DSLR strategy?

We will introduce powerful products. The successor to the midrange "EOS 5D" will be introduced (no time frame was given but the article itself implied it is 2008 ) with better durability and higher MP count. For the same price, we will introduce better product.
