This one is a rumour but supposedly "a good rumour from a known source". It's quite timely given the discussion about the artifical separation between FF and APS-C.

Anyway, supposedly there's a entry level Full Frame camera being added to Canon's lineup in the Fall. The sensor is supposed to be the same as the 5D mark 3 but the rest of the specs are close to the current 7D, especially the AF system.
22mp (Same sensor as 5D3)
19 AF Points
4fps
ISO 100-51200
3″ LCD
Smaller than the 5D Mark II
More Plastic than metal in the construction
Pop-Up Flash (On at least one prototype)
$1999 USD at launch
Launched with a new non-L full frame kit lens (Undisclosed what the lens is)
Compatible with full frame STM lenses
I'm very interested to see how this turns out. If this is true then it would make a lot of FF converts where price was once a barrier, and there might be less of a incentive to go the 5D3 route if all you are getting is nicer weather sealing.
