This is for the prosumer who is a cheap-arse. J/k

DSC-F828 eat your heart out!

I can't wait for the reviews. dpreview.com should have a preview article out later today. Supposedly it uses the same CMOS sensor that the 10D uses! YAY for low noise at HIGH ISO!

Their html page isn't loading for me. I am on dial-up so I don't really want to load their flash page. What is the suggested retail price?
 
If I only had cash to spare I'd buy this bad boy. I'd also get a nice Canon 35mm SLR and share lenses between the two.

thanks, but considering the 10d is now 1250, and the 300 is above and noct thinks it will be a grand...i was wondering what the 10d would come down to, not what its at now....

Bad:

1.6x crop effect (although I see they have addressed this with a consumer grade 18-55mm zoom. I bet Canon pro shooters are craving for a pro version of this after nikon announced their 17-55 AFS 2.8)
USB (1.0?) interface
1/4000 top shutter speed
unknown flash synce speed
small buffer-only 4 shots in continuous shooting (a moderate 2.5 fps)


Good:

Virtually everything else.


Actually appears to be the same feature set as the 10D except for a few things like no 3200 ISO, no use of vertical grip, no PC flash sync socket, and the top LCD display moved to back of camera with no quick control dial (taken from a post at RG's site, I don't use canon)


Does anyone know whether that 18-55 will work on non-digital bodies?

No, it will not. Everyone was hoping that Canon would not adopt camera specific lenses like Nikon seems to be doing, but they did. For the 300D it's a good thing. I just hope they don't start doing the same thing with their higher tier lenses. The $1000 price figure floating around is probably with a lens or two bundled with it, so if that's the case it represents quite a value to the serious consumer.
 
makes me feel better about my 12-24 purchase then. That seems to indicates that even canon does not think that full sized sensors will come down too far in price...

I'm envious. I'd love to have a new DSLR body at that price. Right now, it looks like I will be shortly plunking down 1K for a used 2.75MP D1 for use as a personal camera and backup to my work issued D1. I can't justify $1500 for the D100 with the stripped features. However, if there was a body for under 1k....I'd be tempted.
 
I think Canon still means to work towards full frame sensors, just not now and not for low end consumer cameras. It will probably be several years yet before full frame hits the mid range. I really think that these EF-S lenses will stay low end. The only ones out yet aren't even USM or anything. It was a smart business move to realease lenses like that with a low end camera. I think a lot of long time Canon shooters would feel betrayed if they did it with their high end stuff. I would.
