More completely unofficial information about Canon’s new digital DSLR are emerging. Nicholas J on the DPReview forums managed to prise the following information out of the Canon representative at Focus-on-Imaging, a UK imaging trade show.

1. The 10D has the same 6mp CMOS chip as the D60.
2. It has 7 focus points.
3. AF considerably faster than D60.
4. Low light focus performance much better than D60.
5. Write speeds to disk much faster than D60.
6. Response time when switching camera on is almost instant as well as response time when using “play” menu button.

“The 10D will be the ONLY new DSLR by Canon this year. There are no plans for a EOS 3 based DSLR or anything else. He also said the 1D (not 1Ds) will be around for about another year before they replace it with something new.”
