New Canon Camera(s) on the Horizon

From several websites, it is believed that Canon will be releasing information on a new camera. The Canon banner that started this rumor was posted on the Israeli Canon website and stated, “This year August will be different - 8/24/06 - Every legend has a beginning”. Speculation has been widespread, but the persistent topics being discussed revolve around a new sensor technology, or an update to the Rebel XT (350D). There are even brochures (google 3000D, 370D and 400D) floating around with images of the new cameras and their specification, but little is know about their authenticity.

So what to make of this news? At this time, all that can be done is to sit and wait until the 24th of August to see what Canon has in store for us. If you are looking into buying a dSLR in the next couple of weeks, waiting until late August might be a wise move. Even if you are not interested in buying the latest and greatest from Canon, a price drop on the camera you are looking to buy may be coming soon as a result of a new update.

I will update as more information becomes available.
