New Canon digital bodies rumored

The online discussion boards are abuzz about Erwin Puts’ comments on new Canon digital bodies—rumored for some time now, including a 22-megapixel 1Ds and a full-frame and high-speed 1D without a buffer (dual CF slots?). Erwin Puts is widely respected as a Leica expert, and has used the Canon 5D and Canon optics in various comparisons. Is he in-the-know about a pending announcement? Or just taking a public stand as Chief RumorMeister? Perhaps this week we’ll see.
