Is Canon likely to introduce a replacement/upgrade of the EOS 20D
digital camera in the next few months, and if so when.

Request for Question Clarification by crabcakes-ga on 05 Oct 2005 13:04 PDT

Hello Lionship,

   The Canon EOS 20Da is the latest and only upgrade I was able to
locate. Will this suffice as an answer?

?June 2, 2005 ?Now that Canon digital SLRs are proven performers on
this planet, Canon U.S.A. Inc. is reaching for the stars with the much
anticipated EOS 20Da digital SLR. Based on the popular EOS 20D camera
and joining it as a companion model in Canon?s product line, the new
EOS 20Da digital SLR helps address the specific requirements of
astrophotography with features such as a live preview LCD and a
modified low-pass filter optimized to help photograph the clear night
sky in brilliant detail. The EOS 20Da digital SLR will be available in
July at an estimated selling price of $2199*?

The recent lifecycle of these "prosumer" cameras has been about one
year.  Given the release date of the 20D, when is it likely that Canon
will make their next release in this price/performance range.  A clue
may come from when Nikon will introduce a new competitive model, an
upgrade of the D70.
