Woo Hoo - New Canon DSLR

Hello All,

If you like Canon cameras at all you will have to check out this post over at Gizmodo. They have a pre-production Canon DSLR. Here are the highlighted specs.

• 15.1 Megapixel
• Shoots 720p/30 or 1080p/20 HD Video
• Live view
• Digic 4
• 3" LCD
• Only $899 with an image stabilized kit lens

This camera goes head to head with the Nikon D90, and for $150 less. Nice job Canon. If you were looking at the XSi or 40D or 50D you should wait until May if you can, this camera will likely cause significant drops on all three of those Canon models.

I think I am still going to snag a 40D when the prices fall a bit more, but this camera is very interesting. Although shooting HD seems funny with a DSLR, the fact that it is possible is pretty nice.

For more info on the camera here are the posts by DPreview and Engadget on the T1i.

Later,

John
