Have Fun,

Its about time! By their calling it a "Limited Edition", You know there will be a run on them, and I'm sure that was Canons strategy.

I wonder how many Rebel owners will dump there silver body at a $200.00 loss to replave it with a black one?

I dont think they'll go THAT far, will they?

Oh I' bet there are some fools who would just to have a black camera.

what's wrong with silver?

I guess this means there will be no replacement for the DRebel in the near future. I would think Canon marketing would want to differentiate any replacement with a black body. Any thoughts on this?

The next DRebel

I suspect the next Dreble will be the same camera with a black case and upgraded (un-crippled) firmware with a cost of about $700 with a kit lens. It's gonna be a big hit. No R&D for Canon and it'll introduce a lot of new (lens-buying) DSLR users.

Dunno if this is the plan, but that's what I'd do.

Hmmmm, local really small camera shop has had black Drebs for a couple of weeks now. Guess Canada got them first to make up for the shortage of MK II's

I honestly don't mind the silver version. I'll wait for a 20D or equivalent (at that time) for black.

Nothing really, but all the years I have been in photography (from near birth) black cameras were always a sign of professionalism and quality.

It's always been that way.

Still is.

Nevertheless, the black Drebel will take the exact same photos the silver Drebel takes. And it will still be plastic.

My Dreb is my learning camera. And, if I do decide to further the hobby, even possibly into the professional realm, I plan to buy a new camera by that time.

So, by the time I try to make myself look professional, I will have a professional-looking camera.
