I have hard believing anything they say, because the drawings they used and labeled as a “spy shot” were taken from a concept design made by a PentaxForum member.
PhotographyBay got a tip that Canon will have a new product announcement on August 17th, 2010. There is another Canon press event scheduled for August 27th, 2010. Canon will probably release their S95, SX130 and SD4500 point and shoot cameras first (August 17th) and then the Canon 60D on August 26th.

If you have any information about an upcoming, photography related product, please contact me.
