Canon To Release The 5D Successor & The 50D

Rumors have it that Canon will be soon announcing the successor to the popular 5D, as well as a credibly confirmed 50D body. We're hearing rumors that the 5D Successor will be a "9D" (apparently this was registered with the UPC database), and we're also starting to hear some grumblings about a G10 as a successor to the very popular high end compact G9.With Photokina around the corner, this all sounds very plausible to us!

Here the info that's out there right now...
