Taking a break from inadvertently feeding the rumor mill, I'd like to point to the announcement for the new Canon 1Ds Mark II.  This thing looks awesome!  Features that stand out: 16.7 MP full frame, fast startup time and a wireless transfer option.  There is still a question if they improved the battery technology or not.  Not bad for a mere $8k.  The thing still looks super big and heavy.

I would love to own one of these, but I can't see my self spending that much on what is really a hobby.  Plus, in the spirit of sour grapes, it would probably be too heavy.  I really can't complain because I just received the Canon 20D that I preordered a little while ago.  Now I have to find the time to go out and shoot.
