Yes the 1000D is/will be released as an entry level DSLR and also released is the 800mm monster (overseas) but at $US 12,000 it's not what you'd call your average walkabout lens.

The rumours of the 5D Mk II have been flying thick and fast and to date nothing's been confirmed although everyone is anticipation Canon will release this model soon and perhaps a 50D (late August or Sept during Photokinia in Germany).
The 50D rumour is one that has popped up now apparently to replace the 40D and to regain some ground that Canon has lost to Nikon with their brilliant D300.
Also Nikon has the great FF bodies of the D3 and D700 which has identical sensors and some fantastic extra features.

We'll have to wait and see what Canon will do.
