New Canon 40D Out on September 20?

Trip Advisor Pro Travel Lodger News
Engadget reports that Amazon may have "unofficially" posted the specs and delivery for Canon's EOS 40D, and lists a September 20th availability for the true 30D successor. The specifications are a new 10.1 megapixel, APS-C sized, self-cleaning CMOS sensor; 30% faster, 9 point AF; DIGIC III image processing; ISO 3200 max sensitivity; improved 3.0-inch LCD with Enhanced Live View; 6.5fps continuous shooting (bursting 75 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW images); 35-zone metering system; and CF card storage.

The Canon 40D's body is apparently just slightly larger than the EOS 30D at around 1.4-ounces (40-grams) more beef. It also supports an "sRAW' mode which trims the number of pixels to one-fourth that of a standard RAW image (cutting file size in half) while retaining all of the flexibility of full-sized RAW images. A definite 30D upgrade for those of you who've been holding out.
