Sony's 12.47 megapixel APS-C sensor captures 10.4 fps

So, you've already decided to save up the $1,300 green for your new EOS 40D, eh? We can't blame you in the least, in fact, we're pondering the hit ourselves.

The new sensor is said to offer enhanced image quality with reduced noise at a staggering 10.39 frames per second.
