dpreview and fredmiranda are all agog over a possible leak on the new canon camera. i have just spoken to the guy that authored this document and after 15 mins on the phone with jim bowes from his office in the netherlands, i'm at this point willing to say that the info is legit and real.

pretty darn cool if you ask me

discuss.

Any idea on the price? Did that say it would be available in August, or October? I was confused, not being fluent in Spanish. The price will tell us if the 20D will go down at that time, too.

Cool link. If it talks about sensor size, I can't see it.

Does the fact that it won't take EF-S lenses mean that the sensor's larger than the 350D's?

Announced in August, sales begin middle of October, I think it says.

the document states €3549 euros ... factor in that canon gear in europe is about 20% more than in the u.s., and that would put it in the ~ $3,500 usd range here in the states....

It would be nice to know a price, that would be a great camera. I have been waiting for a higher performance camera with a smaller chassis.

I'd say about $3500 US.
