A user at the Fred Miranda forum just noticed that the Canon China website has posted specifications for the Canon 50D. No doubt this will be taken off their website shortly so the user was kind enough to take a screenshot of the summary and full specification page.

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.
