6th NDA breaking?
 
From someone posting in POTN about a presentation today.
 
    * "Some new P&S from Canon, G10/11/12 something....new FS lens, then "5D replacement" they talk about features, which basically boils down to "more of everything" but not quite what say the 40D has in burst rates. Better ISO, more pixels (more than 12 less than 16), then moves onto another lens and some crap about flashes."
 
later they added
 
    * "The new lenses that were talked about don't really interest me as they were some EF-S lenses that would mimic some of the L lenses I have already. It seemed to me that the focus was on "pro-sumer" middle ground stuff. They started talking about market penetration in sub $1000 bodies and sub $1500 kits and gaining market share in the sub $250 P&S market. I never even owned the G series stuff so I don't really know anything about that. They also seemed to imply that the "5D replacement" was not a pro body, and maybe that was always true but I sort of thought of it as an entry level pro body. They did go over a list of features and how they would compare to Nikon, the D3 and D700. The way they made it seem, the "5D replacement" would be better than a D700 and not quite the D3 but have a much better sensor than the D3. Something to the effect that the "5D replacement" would be more technologically advanced then any other pro-sumer camera on the market. Incorporating technology from the flagship 1D2 Mk III."
 
Follow this lengthy POTN thread and see what you make of it... (thanks for sending this ;-)
 
All the other stuff I've found so far are various re-hashes of stuff from the last few days :-)

A quick note to rumour afficianados... when you are looking at new specs and the likes appearing on sites, look for sources. It's been interesting to see some sites quote my specifications text below (which I rewrote directly from the email we received) with no source at all. All good fun :-) :-)

oolpix S60
Sur cet appareil, le pilotage se fait entièrement au moyen de l'écran tactile, qu'il s'agisse de zoomer, de retoucher ses images, de définir la zone de mise au point souhaitée ou encore de sélectionner le visage le plus souriant, le tout simplement en touchant l'écran. Le S60 se met également à la mode iPhone en permettant de faire défiler les images en les poussant du doigt. Autre spécificité du S60 : la capacité à créer des diaporamas animés avec fond musical, lesquels diaporamas pourront ensuite être visionnés sur un téléviseur via la sortie HDMI de l'appareil. On note enfin que ce compact profite d'un système de stabilisation par le capteur qui contribuera à réduire les flous de bougé.
