The Canonrumors website has had a bunch of interesting reports over the past few days about a 60D (with articulating LCD screen) a 3D (something between the 5D and 1D?) and some kind of video camera with an EF mount.
The 60D seems very likely since the 50D is aging and Canon may have even stopped production of that model, but the 3D has been rumored off and on for the last couple of years...it also seems odd that - if the rumors is to be believed - they'd use another vendors chip in a camera.

Sony Pictures renames theater after Ray Harryhausen, Blu-ray release of Jason and the Argonauts
On the eve of his 90th birthday, Sony Pictures Digital Productions has announced the renaming of its 119-seat screening theater after visual effects and stop-motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) also recently paid tribute to Harryhausen with a special evening and award celebrating his contributions to film.
The Ray Harryhausen Theater will be formally dedicated on Monday, July 12, 2010, with the unveiling of a sign displaying the theater's new name, a reception, and the screening of one of Harryhausen's seminal hit films, Jason and the Argonauts. The 1963 classic, originally produced and released by Columbia Pictures (now part of Sony Pictures Entertainment), has been restored to its original splendor by Sony Pictures. The film makes its debut on Blu-ray Disc on JULY 6 – the fifth Harryhausen Blu-ray title from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, the most of any filmmaker from the label.
The disc features new commentaries by Harryhausen himself, as well as Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, along with film historian Tony Dalton and visual effects expert Randall William Cook, and a new interview with Harryhausen with filmmaker John Landis.
The London Film Museum has also opened an exhibit entitled "Ray Harryhausen - Myths and Legends." The exhibition focuses on the work of Ray Harryhausen and showcases the techniques he used to bring his movies to life. The exhibit opens today, and will run for a year.
