There are a couple rumors floating around about a new Canon D-SLR, the EOS 5D. Canon’s model numbering is reversed from most manufacturers–lower numbers signify higher-end models, so this would be a model above the current Canon 20D but below the 1D series.

• 12.8 Mpix fullframe CMOS (same as 1Ds)
  
• 3 fps shooting (slower than 20D)
  
• accepts only EF lens (not EF-S)
  
• buffer for 60 JPEG frames or 17 RAW frames
  
• larger LCD
  
• no built-in flash
  
• price around $3500
  

now, the question is why not save a little and buy 1DmkII for basically near price?
