I remember when the T1i was anneoncud, it RRP'd at the same price as a 50D was selling at the time, didn't do any favours to the price of the XSi or the 40D. So sometimes it's worth waiting until after a new product goes on sale rather than just after it's been anneoncud.For example when the T1i was anneoncud the price was too high, this meant that there wasn't much interest, and all those who wanted an entry level SLR just didn't bother waiting for the T1i, and got either the XSi or XTi or even the 50D. When the T1i was actually delivered the price went into freefall, and soon it lost 1/3 of it's original list price. Suddenly the preceding models saw a sharp drop in value. Same happened when the 5D2 came out, it was something like a32500 over here, and the original 5D stayed up at around a31700-1900, but a year on, they can be had for a3700. I would thnk the best time to buy is about a couple of weeks a new product hits the shelves, not when it's anneoncud.
