Its official now:

The Announcement: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos50d/
The Hands-On Review: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos50d/

Looks like some new sensor technology's gonna squeeze a bit more megapixels in there, probably for marketing. Apparently, that's not going to increase too much noise according to Canon, (I haven't had time to read the review yet.) so we'll see.

Some new features include:

DIGIC 4 processor
15 MP
Peripheral Illumination Correction (fix vignetting in-cam)
6.3 FPS >60 JPEG Large/Fine
new DIGIC 4 interface


Nikon also just announced the D90 as well for all you Nikon lovers,

Heres the review for that: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond90/

Sorry I can't sum that up I haven't read it yet but you guys can do that for me

i just attended a conference on this....well i was working while the guy was speaking about it. he said in the next few years mega pixels will go up because thats what the market wants, but the wave of the future is megapixels will be going down to 8 but it can flatten out the colors in a room so it will pick up colors the eye doesnt see, also nearing a 3d effect. they will be changing the processors and stuff they also have a 360 degree lens in the works, that through a computer you can flatten out the image. he was a professor at brown, i didnt understand most of the stuff he was talking about.

EXACTLY, WTF Canon.

Cut the EF-S crap, let's start seeing some real cameras.

Although I wouldn't mind having a 50D for a backup camera, it does have some impressive specs.
