Looks like the grip might accept an NP-E3 type battery. There is a mysterious latch over there on the BG-E3 grip that looks oddly like the latch on my MKII.

Can somone remind me what camera used the BG ED3 grip? Wasn't that the 10D, D60, D30 grip? This is what is in the picture with the new RebelXT?

No. The grip in the pic is a BG-E3. All new...

This might knock 10D's down a notch as well. This baby's got FEC and a black (or silver) body. Very nice.

My quick read is I would take on of these over a 10D, in fact I might have even got one over my 20D, and spent more $$$ on glass! The only reason I got the 20D was the 300D's pathetic frame buffer.

Hey, the EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 is now Mark II. Wonder what they did to improve it?

Nice spotting, looks the same otherwise though, usually there are some cosmetic changes.

Now for those no US people around, is it a 350D or a 300Dx?

And, the article mentions "more than 60 Canon lenses", which seems to me to be an increase in quantity. Wonder what else Canon's going to announce.....

My take is that I'll be able to snag a very inexpensive used 10D - maybe even my old one. :)

EDIT: Then again, this is likely a better camera in many ways than the 10D, excepting for the Mag Alloy body that I like so well.

I don't know, but its exciting anyway. :)

Ah shucks save the postage maybe I collect it someday.

I would actual keep my Rebel for a backup and for my daughter to use, what ever I get next so the probable price drop is not important.

Missed the lack of a "D" .. It uses a new battery alltogether as well,. no more BP511. this is a draw back for 20D owners looking for a back up,.. but I assume the new battery is smaller,. the grip will take two,. or 6 AA batts.

350D must admit I was expecting 300Dx:( It's mentioned just below the first picture.

Who has quickly read the whole article, and breezed over this little gem:

New EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens.

B*gger. Canon NB -2LH Li-Ion. I suppose that was a matter of time. A shame the BP also takes those, would be nice to still have a BP-511 Option.

NB-2L is only 600Mah as well, not sure what the 'H' Version will be, but I would bet this doesn't have the battery life of the 20D with its stock battery.

my rule on cameras... if it costs over a grand it better be made of metal :-) I'm sticking with my 20D decision! :-)


5D Mark II - S90 - 15mm f/2.8 fisheye - 20-35 f/2.8L - 28-70 f/2.8L - 50mm f/1.4 - 80-200mm f/2.8L
