U.S. prices on the 20D dropped last week and Canon also began a $900 special promotion on the 30D that includes a $600 lens.

Could be the sign that Canon is trying to clear out the 20D’s and 30D’s ahead of a new release. Fingers crossed.

Mike, if you are reading this - Don’t feel bad at all. I love my 30D and I will keep it when I buy whatever is next.

I know (partly because you guys told me!) that megapixels don’t mean everything, but it doesn’t make sense for Canon’s entry level DSLR, the 400D (that I own incidentally) to have a higher spec in this area than their enthusiast camera.

I thought it would only be a short time before they updated the 30D. I told my mate this at the back end of 2006, he was about to buy a 30D. Of course he ignored me and bought it anyway. So Mike, if you’re reading this - ha ha! :o)

Well, at the least putting the sensor and dust system from the 400D into a 30D would be logical. But is that enough of a change to make it a 40D? Or should we call it a 35D?

I’ll keep my 20D. But will be tempted if the 40D comes out. Really tempted.

[...] Should I add a “Rumour Mill” category? The Digital Photography Show reports that a Canon 40D may be on the way. Digital Photography Blog posted links to Canon’s website, but those pages have changed to Canon 400D pages! Speculation about features includes the following: We’re hearing a lot of different rumors and guesses about the Canon EOS 40D specifications. [...]

Where to I get in line? Or if you speak New York English … where do I get on line?

I know nothing about the 40D, but I know I gotta have one :)

I won’t sell the 30D when I get one … but my old 20D will certainly be retired.
