Interesting, did anybody besides me notice the mention, buried in the text, of a 60mm f2.8 EF-S lens? Yes, me... TWO minutes after you. I'll get you for this, Middleton! -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ Heheheheh... Hmmm, 96mm f2.8 equiv. Not that fast, compared to the film type 100 f2...but better than what's been offered up 'til now for 1.6 crop digital. Of course, my 50mm f1.8 is faster, and only slightly shorter. The text says it's an EF-S Canon 60mm f:2.8 Macro? So f:2.8 is about right. |

The text says it's an EF-S Canon 60mm f:2.8 Macro? So f:2.8 is about right. It's actually more than about right, it is a true macro, 1x (life size.) Specs he http://www.eos-magazine.com/EOS%20sy.../EFS_60mm.html I've learned to be a bit cynical when a lens comes out marked "macro," too many zooms make the claim without really being macro lenses. But this one backs it up, apparently. Mind you Canon does have several existing, excellent macro lenses that offer 1:1 (and the 65mm that does 5:1). This new lens being a EF-S means you can't swap it over to your Elan for film. Canon is making certain that film is dead. |

Yes, most definitely a leak, but my feeling is the official press release will come on Thursday morning, so this isn't that big of a deal. Sounds good though... looks like they're using a slightly different sensor from the 20D - hopefully the noise performance will be the same, if not a little better. Option of Black or Silver is appreciated. This should make people happy: "Mirror lock-up and 2nd curtain flash have also been added. " Duh, Canon! About time. This also might be interesting, but I don't see why it has to be EF-S: "EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens." I guess if you really want that 100mm (96, actually) equivalent focal length. No ISO 3200 though... I guess we'll have to push exposures (same as what the camera does) or firmware hack later on. No mention of price, but if they can manage the same $999 kit price they'll do very, very well against the D70 et al. Im going to guess they will price this camera at two thousand (US) dollars. No real reason for this, I just dont see it at $999. Because then it will be more than the 20D ;) Canon has already reduced sales of their 20D with this 20D Lite... The 20D WITH a lens would be more expensive wouldn't it?? Oddly enough the 18~55 is an option on the 20D, that is a $100 Canon lens. The 350D/XT will sell for usd $1000. That has already been stated. Street prices will be around $900-950 initially, down more by late-summer. |

No real reason for this, I just dont see it at $999. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0502/05...on_eos350d.asp Price is $899 for body. Then I'll have to see what kind of pictures it takes... At 8mp and a 899 price I'm not expecting much, but then it IS a Canon, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a GOOD one. This is a source for consternation... One major camera company comes out with a 4mp DSLR for $3500 Another major name brand comes out with an 8mp DSLR for $899 How to choose, how to choose. Apples and oranges, the Nikon D2Hs is designed for photojournalists, it's really fast, has a huge frame buffer, and excellent image quality. I have seen images and you would have sworn it was film. The Drebel is a consumer level camera, with a so-so lens but is cheap. It's like comparing a Honda Civic with a HumVee. Both have different niches. |
"Brian C. Baird" wrote in message .. . In article , says... According to dPreview.com, it's introduced at the same price the Digital Rebel was. $899 body, $999 kit. "Uh-oh" say the other manufacturers. Uh-oh indeed. I suspect at this price it will have the same "plastic cheeseball" construction as the Rebel-D? No more plastic than any of the other sub $1,000 dSLRs. The D70 might feel more solid... but it isn't. The Pentax *ist D and *ist DS have more metal than either. |
