Default 7D leak

With all this talk about the Chinese website 50D leak,
what about the similar 7D leak?

What did the leak give for specs?

18MP (which would be real nice for landscape types, especially with Zeiss
coming out with the 18/3.5 Distagon) and a bunch of irrelevent other things
for wannabe sports/PJ types too cheap to buy a real sports/PJ camera (5 FPS,
CF & SD, Live View).

The 1DIII uses two DIGIC III (or is IV?) chips to crunch 100MP per second,
so that's 5.5 fps in an 18MP camera. I'd be surprised if the 5D follow on
has two DIGICs and two card slots.

I'd love it if they bifurcated the 5D into a semi-pro camera with no
built-in grip, the 1-series viewfinder, weathersealing, and 5fps, and an
amateur camera with the same sensor but one DIGIC, no weathersealing, 2.5
fps, and the current 5D viewfinder. If the body weights were essentially the
same, I'd probably blow the extra US$1,000 or US$1,500 for the 1-series
viewfinder (pro camera viewfinders, both Nikon and Canon, are seriously
wonderful), but I bet that 90% of the people squawking for weathersealing
and more fps would buy the cheaper camera (and continue complaining).

But would it be bigger sensor than the 1.6 crop Canon uses?

18 MP in 1.6 crop camera limits one, for full use, to the very
best in prime lenses. 18 MP would be fine for about a 1.2 or 1.3 crop
camera.
