Since we're mentioning the competition, Minolta has also announced their new DSLR, the Dynax (Maxxum) 7D. The most interesting feature is in-body AS (anti-shake) technology, that moves the CCD sensor to counteract vibration, rather than moving lens elements as Canon and Nikon do.
http://konicaminolta.com/products/consumer/digital_camera/slr/ (They even have a white lens to go with it!) Nikon has also introduce another new film, the F6. The body appears to be much smaller than the current F6, more like the F100, and will apparently replace both: http://www.photim.net/Arrive/F6.htm It appears to have a separate booster, like the EOS 1 film series bodies, 5fps / 8fps (with booster), the new AF system from the digital bodies, 9 widely spaced AF sensors (the only thing I see so far that I wish Canon would borrow), a rear LCD screen, and 41 custom functions. It uses a full frame, 24x36mm, interchangeable, silver based image sensor/storage unit, which will be sold by various 3rd party manufacturers in cartridges containing 24 or 36 image sensor/storage units. ===== Bob Meyer I don't suffer from insanity...
