It appears to be part of a leaked press release from China, which is subject to mistranslations, combined with a rumour that was started in a seperate forum.
I'm thinking about 98% of what's been reported is accurate.
I'm not sure about the video features until the official US Press Release sufaces.

Ahhh, so that's the Chinese version on Canon Rumors? Will the US Press Release first appear on the Canon USA web site? The guys here make it sound like it's going to be more than just a posting on a web site.
 
If this camera is true and does offer 24/25/30p at 1080, what do you think the chances are the next spring we'll see a new digital rebel that also does 1080/24p? As it stands right now they are only 4 frames away.

This camera looks great and it has me in high hopes, but by the time I pay off some bills, get trough the holidays and start saving some coin, a new rebel will probably be announced.
 
I personally do not find the DOF capability from the Rebel T1i all that impressive, so the 7D is not going to be any different.

Almost every major camera has some sort of a special unveiling, and since this is going to be the first of its kind, it warrants the additional attention.
The rest of the information that particular post you referenced is providing has been ruled out by a majority as innacurate. That was based on early reports, fueled mostly by speculation, what is being reported now is from supposed official leaked documents, which include full photo spreads and information on lenses etc.
Of course, all of the documentation appears, at least when I last looked, to have come from China. And all sorts of stuff can get lost in translation, so aside from some of the more obvious characteristics of the camera, I'll just wait until the official US Press release provides the full video specifications.
 
What a way to knock the wind out of the GH1's sails (sales). Just as GH1's are becoming more available, Canon lays down a killer hand. Ouch.
 
with 2 digic 4 processor im assuming it can do proper scaling instead of skipping lines... i could be wrong
 
The press release is also on DP Review, with a hands on preview and sample images. After 30 years of using Nikon, I might have to get myself a Canon.

Note: Max file size is 4GB, or 12 minutes for 1080p.

Stacks up from the clip timing

Could this mean stoopid compression ?

It's ~45mbps h.264. Considering how good some of the stuff we've seen at half that bitrate in h.264 looks, I don't think people will be whining about the compression much on the 7D.
