The rumors are true. Canon will release the EOS 5D in October, at an estimated street price of $3300. It will feature a 12.8 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor powered by Canon’s DIGIC II processor.

The 5D will also feature a new high-speed, vertical travel, focal plane shutter rated for 100,000 shots. Shots will be viewed on a new 2.5" TFT LCD with a 170-degree viewing angle. Autofocus will use a new 9-point system with six "Supplemental AF points".
