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!

The Pentax *ist D and *ist DS have more metal than either.

Ballast?

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.

Sweet. I was considering the 20D but I've decided it's a little too
bulky to be an everyday camera. I do go out with a tripod and backpack
full of lenses sometimes but I also need something light for biking and
hiking. The 350D is lighter and smaller than the 300D with updated
imaging. It also adds missing features that made the 300D frustrating
at times.

If the reviews and sample photos are good, this could be my next camera.

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.


They also added flash exposure compensation, making flashes such as the
420EX much more useful.

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.
