DP-Now.com: Canon EOS-300D First Look
Ian Burley at DP-Now.com has just posted an excellent First Look at the Canon EOS 300D, featuring 27 photographs from yesterday’s launch event in London. The 5th photo features a graph, not the most interesting subject you might think, but it shows Canon’s market forecast for DSLR’s:
“Canon sold 72,000 digital SLRs in Europe during the whole of 2002, but EOS-300D manufacturing for the worldwide market is already set at 70,000 units a month. By 2005 Canon expects to have at least a 50% market share of the DSLR market in Europe. That market will be 10x greater than 2002 in volume terms, predicts Canon.”
Scary stuff, especially for Nikon, Olympus and the other major players!

Ian has also updated his Canon EOS 300D report with links to some sample images taken with a pre-production camera, taken by Kai Thon, at the Norwegian site www.digit.no. The images show the ISO range of the 300D, with the same image taken at ISO 100, 200, 400, 600 and 1600.

Is the new Rebel the only camera on the planet? That's what it seems like from reading this site!

Hi all, I make no apologies for the level of 300D coverage on dp-now.com. Last week it was Sony F828 mania and the week before that, all eyes were on Fuji and the S5000 and S7000. Don't forget our coverage of the Kodak DX6490 this week too.
It has been an astonishingly busy July and August with just about all the main camera brands making big announcements.
This coming week we're going to be making noise about printers!

As Ian has said, all of the major camera manufacturers have recently been taking it in turns (or so it seems) to announce the latest and greatest digital cameras. Even Pentax have joined in by finally announcing that the *ist D will start shipping
Last week just happened to be Canon's turn with what they claim to be the most important camera since the Canon AE-1 SLR in 1976. I therefore gave it a suitbale level of coverage, as the 300D may be the digital SLR that film users will switch to.
