Canon to announce new products on January 24, 2008 according to a Canon Rep quoted by Kamerabild.se (Swedish site). More details at Photography Bay and Photography Blog

Canon 5D Mark II - overdue, especially after the big splash the Nikon D3/D300 duo has created. Will Canon manage to make a bigger splash or will it be sequential update to the 5D? The stakes are even higher now!

Canon 7D: Remember the bar code? With the 5D sliding down in price down to $2000, this gives Canon an opportunity to offer a 5D price-range replacement, while at the same time having the flexibility to boost the 5D Mark II price to the $3000 level. This would obviously be the first $2000ish 35mm full frame DSLR out of the box, and would create another exciting round of “Full frame vs DX”. And give the Nikon D300 a headache.

Canon Digital Rebel XTi replacement (or follow-up). Will the 450D (aka Digital Rebel XT-something) jump to 12 megapixels just like the 400D XT jumped over the 30D in terms of megapixels?

What about the mythical Canon 3D? It looks like the closer thing we got to a Canon 3D is the ….Nikon D3. Ouch?
