"digitalslr.org":http://digitalslr.org is reporting news of the "Canon 10D's successor":http://www.digitalslr.org/2004/08/canons_successo.html, the Canon 20D. With an 8.2MP sensor, a 0.2 second startup time, a 25 frame buffer, and a Canon EF-S lens mount all for something around $1600, this new camera will push the world of digital SLR photography up another notch. Pictures are "available":http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/genhtml_photo/photokit_EOS20D.dcr.html from Canon's site.
We all know that, what one company does, the rest will soon be doing as well. I feel bad for Nikon and Pentax that Canon beat them both to the market with the 6.1MP SLR, and now, it looks like it will beat them to the 8.2MP market. Sure, the 8.2MP market isn't as big but, there are still plenty of us begging for every last millimeter of resolution we can get.
*Update*: "Gizmodo":http://gizmodo.com/ is "reporting this":http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/canons-eos-20d-pictures-and-specs-leaked-019828.php a bit differently. According to them, the Canon 20D is meant to be a 300D successor, and not a 10D successor. Hell, it could, really be a successor to both. The most important, and yet untold, bit of information is whether the camera will have a plastic or metal body. The "leaked specs":http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1019&message=9924289 from a Major Korean Camera Retailer will give more information and discussion if you're interested. There are also reports that this camera will see a $1300 street price.
