Canon Announces New Digital Cameras Ahead of PMA: Canon has announced their new cameras and included in the line up will be the Canon 30D, seen as a replacement for the current 20D. The camera “features an 8.2 megapixel sensor and five frame per second shooting capability. The camera will be available in March at a price of $1399 for just the body.”
It does not appear to have a full frame sensor like the 5D but improvements cited include: “a more rugged shutter – rated for 100,000 cycles, a 2.5 inch, 230k pixel LCD, and a new spot metering capability, in addition to the existing metering modes in the 20D. Also, Canon has improved the folder management in the camera to allow easier organization.”
