    Very not likely IMO that the 60D will be APS-H…maybe a 7D (a new line) but not the 50D’s replacement…

    Yeah, APS-H wouldn’t make any sense, because I doubt many of the EF-S lenses have an image circle that large, and the 50D isn’t aimed directly at those planning to buy full frame glass.

    No way.. it would never be sold with smaller total resolution than the 50D.

    The Examiner’s article was posted half a day later. I guess Examiner has the same source as you and me : Canonrumors …

    There is no sense at all in this rumor. They have no trouble moving 16MP at 6 fps, thus there is NO benefit in lower resolution. Less MP will give worse IQ in every way, including high iso performance. That alone makes this rumor busted by default.
