Canon D-60 Successor?
Perhaps even more interestingly (certainly from my own point of view), Chasseurs d’Images also has a page dedicated to rumours about the new Digital SLRs that may be announced at PMA 2003.
Here’s a translated excerpt that really caught my eye:
Website: Chasseurs d’Images - PMA 2003
“In the best of the cases, the substitute of D60 will not be available in quantity before April! And its characteristics for the moment are held secret until that the end of the month.
The rumour speaks about D40, D4, D80, D300… it announces especially two apparatuses, a kind EOS-300v transformed into numerical reflex camera, the other Eos-3 way with sensor large size. It is not exactly that!
Except surprised of last minute, Canon will present Only one numerical reflex camera… but it will be a décoiffant product, as well by its very aggressive price as by its characteristics.
Canon, indeed, is decided not to more communicate only on the number of pixels, but also on the functions.
Its new reflex camera will thus be associated a photo printer and Canon will propose the function “direct print” making it possible to the user to actually have a kind of photo laboratory high level and simple to use.”

I really wish Canon would at least give us some generalised PR on this. I've been waiting to pick up a D60, but seeing as they're being discontinued I've decided to wait and see what'l be taking it's place. It would be great to see a full-frame sensor, but will they be able to keep things under $4000 (preferably below $3000)? I hope so.

Part of me wishes that Canon would release some details, part of me is quietly impressed by the anticipation and excitement that they're successfully building up. Just as long as the camera(s) that they do eventually announce are better/cheaper in some way than the D60 thet they're replacing...
