The other shoe has dropped and Canon has formally announced its forthcoming digital SLR, the EOS-D30. Here is a link to Canon's official announcement page, and also a link to an excellent first-impressions commentary at Digital Photography Review . More information will be found here as it become available, and of course I will have a hands-on review as soon as the product ships. It doesn't have a name yet, and it won't be available till at least the fall of 2000. No word yet on price, though it will of course have to be competitive with the Nikon D1 .
Timing is the issue though.
Based on initial specs and appearance this is not the high-end digital SLR that many had been hoping for. A great place to stay on top of developments in the digital camera arena is always Phil Askey's Digital Photography Review . Phil has the latest info, links and reviews of the latest digital camera gear. The excellent on-line magazine Imaging Resources has a PMA show write up with a few more pictures here and here .
