The burst speed seems to have decreased slightly. From 6.5 in 40D to 6.3

But what i dont like is that Canon's still retaining the 9 pt AF system when the D300 has more

more doesn't mean better.

dpreview's testing shows that 40D never actually gets up to 6.5 anyway.

Wonder how accurate this is. I have not found a screen cap of the original page in Chinese. Might be someone pulling a practical joke.

true. but i would think a dedicated machine like the 1 series will be more suitable for serious sports shooters.

The translation is wrong lar. The IS is still in-lens and not in-body.

From Internet postings here and dpreview, apparently everyone feels that we should get pro features for 40D prices Actually I was thinking more for nature / BIF, and a 1.6 crop sensor has some advantage over FF or 1.3x. Still, I agree about paying for the performance you need.

Not even sure we can feel the difference ...

everyone will always want more than what they pay for. thats pretty much human nature. i don't mind getting a 1Ds Mk3 for the price of a 1000D.

as long as it allows u to nail the shot, then its the right camera.

I didn't find this rumor on the Northlight images rumors website. Probably a time zone thing...

[GavinTing]

Perhaps it's a marketing ploy?

FYI, I did one better. Travelled 2 years 6 months 13 hours 58 mins 42 secs into the future and gave the 60D, 5D MK3, 1DS MK5, 600D and 3000D a go. Did I mention about the 14-1200 f0.95 IS USM L DO lens? That's all I can tell.
