This fits between the XTi and the XSi at $599 with the cheap kit lens. I was quite surprised to see this, especially in mid-June. They must be gunning for some Nikon product which has yet to be released. Someday we may see a full frame camera with a current feature set...

I had a chance to chimp around with an XSi this past weekend.
I desperately want to like the camera; it has everything going for it except one critical flaw (for me): the grip.
I was expecting an improvement over the XTi grip, but it still feels woefully uncomfortable in my medium-sized hands. I know Canon has industrial spies; why can't they rip-off the grip from the D40 (which has been out for almost 18 months now)?
yeah, could be a 3D... or maybe 7D... depending. Maybe announce they improved on the cheap IS even more and everything is getting it... the really good IS will be reserved for telephoto..? hehOriginally posted by: ElFenix
here i thought this wouldn't be announced until photokina. i can't believe canon will only have 1 SLR (5D replacement) for the most historically important photo trade show. maybe there will be the rumored 2 5D replacements (a lower spec one matching the D300's price and a higher spec one at about $3000?)

Maybe a shift in pricing too... *crosses fingers till pigs fly*

1/3 stops and sensor matching with the flash? Pretty awesome for a 430.
The 1000D is kind of funny. It's like the bastard child of the 400D, 450D, and 350D.

true, but it's just still so uncomfortable to hold.. it feels like the grip was an afterthought.Originally posted by: punchkin
I assume they did research and development on the grip. Many say they prefer it to the D40 grip. Go figure... As for me, in such a small camera, I don't think it matters much. The correct way to shoot involves supporting the lens with the left hand anyway.
heh, it was more along the lines of wishful thinkingOriginally posted by: ElFenix
the cheap IS is 4 stop anyway and if they revamp their lens line significantly i'll eat my hat.
don't be. the tiny viewfinder is a pain. and you have spot metering.. I wish I had that on my 20D sometimes.Originally posted by: aznium
