Although it isn't supposed to be officially announced until the end of the week, it seems like Canon accidentally posted some photos of the new camera in their Press Room.
This new Digital SLR is rumored to be 8.2 MegaPixels (According to the DPReview forums [view]). The camera also shares the same lens mount as the Canon Digital Rebel (Canon EOS 300D).
