I think price coule be the real key here. The 10D is a significant (that is an understatement) step up from the D60 and may well be the start of a new market segment between the current two tiers that we have been used to. The question in my mind is what Canon's second body will have, and at what price. I still suspect a lower end version than the D60, or maybe just the 10D without the magnesium body?
Now I really want to know what the body on the *ist D is made of - it truly looks magnesium to me! > -----Original Message----- > From: Lawrence Kwan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 27 February 2003 05:18 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: *ist D competitor - Canon EOS 10D > > > Canon has announced EOS 10D. > > Why should we care? > I presume this would be *ist D main competitor. > And I am sure Pentax would pay particular attention to the > price; and they have some time to tweak the features between > now and July. > > Highlights: > - 6.3 Megapixels CMOS sensor (15.1 x 22.7mm) > - Magnesium Alloy Body > - 7-Point Autofocus > - 3 frames per second drive speed in 9-frame bursts > - extended ISO range of 100-3200 > - White Balance Bracketing mode > - selectable color space options including Adobe RGB and sRGB > - 5.9 x 4.2 x 3.0 inches and weighs 27.9 oz > - available mid-March > > vs *ist D's 5 x 3.7 x 2.3 inches and 18oz > price ???? > > > -- > --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4-- > >
