Search for Canon 450D on Amazon and you get some results for various accessories. I’ll point these out only because there are a number of other sources reporting on these and I think the emphasis may be misplaced. I don’t think this is an indicator of anything other than vendors trying to capitalize on the rumors building up to the announcement of the Canon 450D (XTi replacement).
As noted, there are several accessories on Amazon that are or have been listed as compatible with the Canon 450D. Previously, I got results for third-party flashes, batteries and other items. However, today, I’m only getting adapter rings in silver and black. Try the Amazon search for yourself and I think you’ll agree that there’s really nothing to be drawn from this hype.

If this stuff is really floating around on a distributor’s website (it was taken down when I checked), then I imagine we’ll hear something official in the next couple of days. Stay tuned.

Take it with a grain of salt folks. I expect that we’re not going to see the 5D Mark II anytime soon; however, the good old original recipe Canon 5D just keeps getting cheaper. The specs for a potential 3D sound intriguing though.
Stay up to date on the Canon 5D Mark II rumors.
