There are strong indications it'll have the same sensor as the 5D.
The same way the Xti cut into 30D sales, the 40D will cut into 5D sales, and the line of succession moves upward from there until a new series of cameras emerge in time for Canon's EOS 20th anniversary this year.
I expect even bigger announcements from Nikon though.

References please. If they give it the 5D sensor, it will be a better camera in every way, with a price to match. It would effectively kill 5D sales completely... I don't see it happening.

XTi > 30D? Absolutely not. The 10 megapixel camera that is in the XTi is just a clever way to attempt to answer back to Nikon's D80. It's essentially become a megapixel war among the various companies. It's so that people can boast about how many megapixels their camera has.

Tests have shown that the XT > the XT in terms of noise. Why? Because the XTi has 10 million pixels shoved into the same size sensor as the XT. That leads to higher pixel density. high pixel density means more noise.

Ask any pro photographer. 30D or XTi. Most, if not all, would choose the 30D for its build quality, 5fps, rear jog dial, among other features.
