The information provided below is no longer pure speculation, the Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi has been announced at this year PMA (24 January 2008).The info provided here has become a comparison between what I’ve supposed the specifications will be and the actual product.
Considering the latest product releases from Canon, the Canon PowerShot G9, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III and Canon EOS 40D it seems that the successor of the 400D Digital Rebel XTi will have a price about 900-1000 USD (actually only $799 body and kit $899 - with 18-55 mm IS lens) and the following specifications:
- Max resolution: 4000 x 3000 (4272 x 2848 pixels, 3/2 aspect ratio instead of a 4/3)

If you’ll check the whole list of improvements from the 400d to 450d you’ll be really impressed (like I was). There are only two things that might cause a problem (from my point of view):
The 450d has almost the same physical dimensions as the 400d, for my hands, it’s too small.
Image quality at 12 megapixels, a cropped sensor and the current lenses. It seems that if somebody would like to get the best out of this camera would be to buy very expensive Canon L series lenses. I really don’t think that the standard kit lens has enough resolution to cover this sensor (remember, the kit lens was first introduced on Canon 300D – only a 6 megapixels sensor)
However, overall, this is a very impressive camera. Considering the 14bit capability and the possible usage of L series lenses, this camera could provide the same image quality as a Canon 5D at only half the price!

what the hell are you on about…
no shit it will be able to have Aperture mode and shutter mode, that what SLRs are -about-
12mp, maybe. but video mode is just over the top. if you want video mode and pro-looking photos get a Canon G9
and i think that they may up the fps rate in the 450d, because that was one of the biggest downfalls for me as a photographer with the 400d - and also look for ISO 3200 via cf.
i dont think there will be much difference between them

Had just tried it at a nearby camera store. Thumbs up for Canon for providing this to the entry-level DSLR’s market.
