A lot of these dates have been coming and going over the last few months, let's hope this is really the day!
As I stated before, I think the events in Thailand fubared both Canon and Nikon's plans...
There probably have been several dates floating about internally at Canon from time to time..Could be a case of not wanting to announce something a LONG time before delivering it, Or they want to focus on the 1DX and getting it out the door, or mostly out the door, before they announce another camera that could steal sales from it...
I also believe that there are a few prototypes floating around out there, Probubly one with the 19pt AF from the 7D, one with some new AF system, and one with the 61pt AF from the 1DX, Theres probubly also a few of those using the 5DII sensor, a few using a new 22mp sensor, and a few using a higher resolution sensor....
IE I remember about 6 months before the 7D was announced the CR guy got a really good rumor about the 60D being a 15mp camera that did 8fps and had a brand new advanced 19pt AF system... Now think about that a bit
Probubly a prototype 7D wearing an xxD badge and using the 50D's sensor because that particular prototype was working on the AF system...
