More Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 50D Rumors from DPreview

Some recent Canon 5D Mark II rumors which even spec­u­late of a Canon 50D and new lens spec­i­fi­ca­tions. I’m lik­ing these Canon 5D Mark II spec­i­fi­ca­tions espe­cially the MP size but not quite sure if the pop up flash is nec­es­sary and a live view LCD would be nice but not really nec­es­sary. Accord­ing to the source these additions/changes to the Canon lineup are due to hit Pho­tok­ina later in the year which would rule out a release later this month of the Canon 5D Mark II as some have suggested.
