IMO, this is a warmed-over 30D, which was a warmed-over 20D. This is what the 30D should have been. If Canon wants to remain strong in this segment, they're going to need to trump the Nikon D200, which is a feature-laden camera now selling in the range of the 30D's original street price. I'd be floored if Canon released such a weak camera was the 30D's successor - floored enough to switch to Nikon.

As for the hopes of full-frame, I don't think Canon has any intentions of selling more affordable full-frame cameras. They have a corner on the market, they're staying strong in the 1.6X market with their EF-S lenses, and I'd wager most people who want full-frame want it in a capable camera body with some features - all of which cost money. I just hope Nikon comes to the FF game soon - and I hope Canon shows up to the 1.6x game with a better player.
