The elusive and highly anticipated Canon 40D has just been leaked. The launch date and price, at least. September 2 looks to be the launch date according to the Best Buy spec sheet and it will retail for $1,599.99. The rest of the specs after the jump.
Thanks for the tip, Brooks!

3200 ISO, native, without expansion? Ouch. My 5D feels the pain already. I’d be curious to see how the 40D stacks up to the 5D in low light, at 1600/3200 ISO.
