Looks great. 8.o megapixel sensor and 14 shot burst.

Anyone hear of a release date yet?

Improvements over the EOS 300D

The new CMOS sensor and high performance DIGIC II performance lead a number of improvements to the EOS 300D. Other advances include E-TTL II distance-linked flash metering for easy, consistent and precise flash exposures. Users can now select between three focus modes: One-Shot AF, AI SERVO and AI Focus. Writing to memory card is 3.5 times faster and the interface is upgraded to USB 2.0 Hi-Speed for fast image downloads. Mirror lock-up and 2nd curtain flash have also been added.

This is good!
And... all this under $1,000

Someone at Nikon is pulling their hair out :)


... I'm never gonna sell my rebel. With all this stuff coming out, it's probably gonna be worth no more than a neck strap :-P

Edit: question for you all

So I got my Digital Rebel for xmas, have taken all of 15 pictures with it.
My question, do I take my new Rebel to Peru for a week of use and then sell it on ebay or do I put it on ebay tonight and go to Peru with my traditional SLR?

I had wanted the 20d for xmas but the rebel had the rebate so that's what my gf got me. $999 for this new rebel looks like a great deal.
