There are specs posted on DP Review forums for the next generation 5D with some impressive changes:

A gain to 15.3MP up from 12.8MP, a 2 stop hike in light sensitivity to 25600 ISO.

The new model calls for an increase of 6fps up from 3 and will have dual Digic III processors instead of a single Digic II cpu.

The AF system will use 29 points instead of 9 and it will share the same weather sealing as the topline 1Ds Mark III, as well as live view.

I’m very excited about the prospect of this camera! Too bad the 40D couldn’t incorporate some of these features.
