New Canon 400D 10.1 megapixel DSLR

Update: Canon today confirmed the 400D (XTi in the US), specs as below.

Looks like Canon are releasing a new DSLR, the 400D. It cropped up on the Canon China site for a while but appears to have been removed now.

The specs are as follows:

• 10.1 megapixel CMOS
• 2.5-inch LCD
• 9 point focus system
• Fast 0.2 second start-up time
• 3fps 27 frame burst
  
• 1600 ISO setting
• DIGIC II processor
• Integrated Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
• Software to delete any dust left over
  

Canon certainly needed to move to counter Nikon's new D80 and this successor to the 350D looks like a worthy update.
