The future, this is either going to be a 1Dmk IV or it's going to be a camera in the likes of a EOS3. EOS3 was Canon's baby 1D when filmed was used. I say this because of Canon's UK website, it shows the top of the camera w/o a knob.

Might as well have one of the best made, for me, it'll be a trip when I get my son using it a few years.

IIRC certain numbers are not used in Japan for bad luck 6 and 9 I think are those numbers. So going to 7 would be the next stop. It might be 4 and 9

Chinese people don't like 4, it's similar to to 'die'.
Will they really go 7D instead of 5D Mark II? Who knows (/cares I guess)
Whatever it is, I doubt we'll hear any official announcement till photokina

alright found some 1DMK4 rumors..
Note this refers to a particular test camera, and as Canon regularly tell people doing testing 'not all features may make it to production'.
* 1.3 crop
* Images ~16MP
* ISO 50-25600
* 8MP sRAW1 format providing images that seem to best 1D3 files in detail
* Very clean images at ISO 3200. 6400/12800 take further processing very well
* Slightly faster FPS than 1D3 in real life shooting
* AF greatly improved and very good in low light (actual comment was 'Nikon fast' ;-)
* Liveview AF - not up to fast sports use, but very usable otherwise
* Video as with 5D2
* Screen as per 5D2
* Ergonomic improvements with grips - some buttons moved
* Feels faster and more responsive in nearly all aspects of real use.
Testing is carried out on different parts of cameras in different bodies, so if a 1D4 arrives in August, expect the specs to be pretty close. If it doesn't turn up until January, then quite a bit could be different (such as an FF sensor, which we've also heard of being tested)

Anyone know if Canon will ever incorporate the AF-ON and * into a grip for the 40D-50D line?

Also, with AF being a switch on the lens, I'm not sure how you could incorporate that into a button/switch on the grip.

Top right:
I use AF-ON as well as the Exposure lock button (*) all the time, but the grip only has the ExpLock and the AF select button, not AF-ON.
You can reprogram them , but then it screws up the zoom in - zoom out review buttons.

It let's you lock the focus, then recompose without having to half press. That way when you half press, you get the meter reading from the correct composition.

Yeah, I remember the * reprogram being discussed before but never paid attention to the AF ON.
As for the recompose, I usually use spot or weighted metering, so I usually want the focal point to be the most acurately metered area.

I was looking at some indian ruins and I wanted the ruins in focus, but the metering from the sky through the window in the ruins... Used the AF-ON to get the focus, then metered with the half press and got a great shot of my thumb.
