the Maxxum/Dynax 5D has been widely known among the KM community for at
least 3 or 4 months. it's also widely known that the 9D will follow in
roughly 6-8 months time. so far, these dates have held, as did the original
7D announcement.

Subject: Re: [OT] KM shows cheap DSLR with AS
There are several sites in Japan that are run by "pro" photographers.
Some
of these are blogs. They usually have privilege of knowing about new
cameras way in advance of public announcement by way of being invited to
the
previews for selected few. They are often asked to test those cameras. I
read one of them regularly as he is writing camera (and lens combination)
reviews (and I like his funny writing style). He was also recently
invited
to a Nikon factory in Thailand where the new D50 is being manufactured,
and
this was way before D50 was announced.
Once in a while, he hints what's coming but only in a very suggestive ways
because he is obviously bound by the non-disclosure agreement.
