Although Canon routinely offers rebates, with these especially generous instant rebates, it makes you wonder if the much rumored new Canon 5D Mark II might not be coming out very soon now.

Previous rumors suggested
that the new 5D Mark II might be coming out in April. Alas, this was not to be the case.
