(some random japanese page i found when i googled it)

It looks nice.. as far as i can see .. since the overall blackness makes it hard to fully see what it looks like ... i wouldnt mind one ^__^

im suspecting that thats not what it looks like Sad


EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 16, 2004

Hm... truth or rumour I wonder?


EOS 20D - adam - Aug 16, 2004

Oh, so it's D20 and not 20D?

Wow, adam... you're becoming more like peter with your typing Big Grin


EOS 20D - peter - Aug 17, 2004

no .. i think i learned my typing off adam ...
its just that he doesnt use his MSN type typing here. ..


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 17, 2004

I've heard, (but cant be sure), that the 20D (?) is an 8mp version of the 10D.
If this is true, then I wont be trading up, but it may cause a flood of perfectly good 2nd paw 10D's to appear on the market, which would be interesting.


EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 17, 2004

I think adam's confirmed that it's fake...

But just going off the naming standard - the D at the front would indicate another of the D100/D60/D30 line right?

D at the end would be like 10D, 1Ds, 300D... ah I dunno.. Big Grin


EOS 20D - adam - Aug 17, 2004

I knew that someone would comment about the way I wrote that Tongue
haha!


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 17, 2004

Nonono.... I knew the pic was a fake, as I saw it weeks ago on a British site. The story of the 8mp version however, seems to have credibility.


EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 18, 2004

Wah! You guys were right!!

I spotted this over at our friends -- PhotographyBlog -- apparently Canon USA have dropped images of the D20 into their pressroom -- ahead of the coming press release I presume!

Droool... Big Grin


EOS 20D - peter - Aug 18, 2004

Wow .. if thats the kit lens.. thatd be nice ... IS USM =P~~~~~


EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 18, 2004

Haha, somehow I don't think so...


EOS 20D - peter - Aug 18, 2004

Too bad ...
theyd get alot of sales if it was ..!!


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 18, 2004

So, the cat is well and truly out of the bag.
Todays press articles show the camera, and all the spec.
I wont be bothering............


EOS 20D - tab - Aug 18, 2004

Not that good is it?


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 18, 2004

No.
A bit of a let-down really. Sad

EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 18, 2004

Doh, I'm wrong again... they sell an IS lens as part of a kit? Big Grin

Quote:A bit of a let-down really. Sad

Anyway, Rufus, care to elaborate with that statement?


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 18, 2004

Regarding that I.S. lens.... It may be part of the kit, yes.

I'm disappointed because,

1/ 8mp isnt a big deal after 6mp.

2/ Extra focus points? Hmmm, I only ever use one. So do most users.

3/ Digic 2? Nice, but how many of us shoot 5fps often in reality??

4/ EF-S lenses? No thanks. What happens when we buy full frame, 'eh?

------------------
I personally wanted to see FF sensor. That's what I want. Maybe more mp's, say 10 or 12, on a FF sensor. Never mind the bells and whistles, dont need them at all.
I.S. on a short lens, once again, no thanks. This dog isnt conned by sweeties. (Biscuits maybe, but not sweets).

Lol Rufus... biscuits eh? Full frame sensor would be very nice indeed. No more problems then with 1.6x focal length multiplier / FOV crop / whatever you will.


EOS 20D - Rufus - Aug 20, 2004

Well, full previews of the 20 are popping up everywhere, and, whilst I agree that it is a significant improvement, I dont think it is enough to sway me.


What about you?

EOS 20D - peter - Aug 20, 2004

Waves a bicuit at rufus...
i wouldnt mind to up my 300D ...
but dont have the funds ...


EOS 20D - adam - Aug 20, 2004

Canon releasing new things all the time it's starting to become just another common occurance Tongue
haha
My current camera suits my current needs, actually, it's features saturate my needs..I don't need another cam, though I wouldn't mind having one.


EOS 20D - shuttertalk - Aug 20, 2004

One thing I think is certainly better over the 300D is the near-instant switch on...
