could.it.be???
A good friend of mine who is a local photographer sent me an email with THIS LINK:

COULD IT BE that the 5D Mark II is on the horizon??? I must admit, I have heard rumors…but I also heard that they were ONLY rumors and no proof of this SO CALLED camera had been seen anywhere!! So, the info that this site provides is MUCH more than I have seen or heard…so this is EXCITING!!! Of course, standard operating procedure for CANON calls for a new version of the 5D somewhere in 08 or 09, most likely after the 40D is off and running….so if this late 07 stuff is true, then we could have something great on our hands!! I think that the recent 5D price drop was also a little hint that the announcement about a new 5D was coming…or at least I was hoping it was!! I’ll be the first to tell you that the IMPROVED AF is a MUCH needed thing….and the 14 bit RAW and sRAW thing will be pretty cool, as well…and the dust reduction sensor will be SOOO helpful!!! The 3 inch screen, increased FPS and 16 MP won’t hurt, either!! 
Funny, my friend GARY told me several years ago about how the world of RAW files would change….and would expand into several forms of RAW files, RAW that was more like JPEG, etc….(even though he’s ANTI raw!) now it’s unfolding before our eyes!! Here is another link discussing the news….

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED, folks!! I didn’t think that it could get ANY better than the 5D and it just looks like it might be possible!!

There’s got to be a new one coming out soon, especially with the new Digic III processor… I’ve been reluctant to buy the current one because of the new processor. Tempted to buy the new 40D…
love reading your site btw,
