maybe a leak...

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.

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!

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.



It's actually more than about right, it is a true macro, 1x (life size.)

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.

Why on earth would they price it $500 higher than a 20D for a camera with
fewer features? Is your assumption based on a gut feeling that Canon
doesn't want to sell any of them?

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.
