On 20th August 2003 Canon dropped a bomb into the digital
SLR market with the six megapixel sub-$1,000 EOS 300D
(Digital Rebel). Eighteen months later and just in time for
the largest trade show of the year (PMA 2005) Canon has
revealed the successor to the 300D, the new, smaller, eight
megapixel, EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT). At first you'd be
forgiven for thinking this was just a drop-in upgrade of the
EOS 300D with the EOS 20D's eight megapixel sensor, but in
actual fact it has a new CMOS sensor (it's 8.0 megapixels
versus the 20D's 8.2 megapixels), the 350D also has a
smaller body, re-worked design, DIGIC II, new features and
custom functions. -DP Review |
