There is no sign of the annoucement of a new successor to the Canon EOS 5D (under the name of Canon EOS 5D Mk II) for tomorrow, despite what had been forecasted by some. There was indeed a relatively safe information given on a DPReview forum indicating an August 2008 target (and a new EOS 3D series in 2009).

It’s not only a naming game. Since people are waiting for a possible launch by Canon on the 24th of January, and since they don’t see anything coming during the waiting period, speculations abound. Now the rumour is that Canon will launch only a EOS 450D (or Rebel XTs, Rebel XTS, the silver version of 300D/Rebel XT) at the February PMA and the replacement for the Canon EOS 5D will wait until Photokina.
This would be the occasion for Canon to shoot higher than the supposed slight improvements over the 5D (with a slight name change like EOS 5D Mk II) and pile up major features to fight back Nikon and its most recent D3 and D300 (explaining a move to the more severe name change of EOS 6D or EOS 7D).
