LukeH 0 #1 August 24, 2006 Main changes: 1) 10.1 MP 2) 9 Point Auto Focus 3) Anti-Dust (sensor shake and dust map) 4) 2.5" Screen replacing both main and settings screen of XT/350D 5) Larger buffer, 27 Large Fine Jpegs (up from 10) and 10 RAW (up from 4) Expected to be available Mid Sept for $799 (body only), so expect to find cheap Digital Rebel XT / 350D for the next few months.

Stumpy 256 #2 August 24, 2006 And for those who are interested, Canon have also announced a 50mm f1.2L and a 70-200 f4 L IS ... and if you buy either of those can i borrow it? Edited to add: The frame rate for the rebel stays the same (3 fps)but the buffer goes to 10 shots in RAW or 26 in Jpeg i believe.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH 0 #3 August 24, 2006 Be carefull with the Canon quoted frame rate. It depends on what you picture content is and even more so on the ISO. Higher ISOs result in a lower frame rate. I'd also GUESS that if you are using Autofocus this MAY affect the frame rate too. The quoted data for the Digital Rebel XT / 350D was: 2.8 fps, 14 JPEG or 4 RAW frames Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Costyn 0 #6 August 24, 2006 QuoteRemote Switch RS-60E3 Heh, just a couple days ago I made a remote just like this with an old PS2 mouse and a 2.5mm jack, (as described here. It was a lot cheaper than the official Canon one. Works perfectly. Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ockers 0 #11 August 25, 2006 This is the sweetest post I have read for a while and brightens up an otherwise sh!t week. Thankyou Bought this week, I have a camera shoe, bite switch and ring sight sitting in my gear bag waiting for a 350d. I was going to try and find one next week. I reckon those bits of kit may just be staying off my helmet for another few weeks!!
