Canon EOS D10 [02/20/2003]
Informations came from Germany and Spain told me that the D60 successor is the EOS D10 for the PMA 2003 with :

- 7 AF points,
- 6 MP (same sensor as the D60),
- Faster AF,
Prix : 1845 Euros (in Spain).

For the PMA 2003 wi will probably have more precise information about the Canon EF 500mm f/2,8 DO IS USM.

The new DSLR based on the EOS 3 has been seen in Munich :

- 8 MP,
- Magnesium alloy body,
- ergonomics close to the EOS 3.

Canon Digital, RoadMap ? [01/30/2003]
I had information that the futur Roadmap for Canon in the digital range is :

For the PMA 2003 :

The D80 which will be based with the same CMOS sensor than the D60, but correct the D60's flaw.

In 2003 two new digital SLR :

- D40 (name not definitive) with a sensor with less pixels,
- D3 (name not definitive) based on the EOS 3. It should be placed between the D60 and the 1D.

In 2004 :
A new digital SLR will be presented, a kind of EOS 300D with a suprising price ! The Digital SLR for everybody !

All these information must be confirmed by official Canon announcement. Wait & See !

Canon The goal of the News page is not to publish the official Canon press release.
The official Canon web-sites make it very accurately.

By this page I try to give information before the Canon official press release. By the way, this information can't be at 100% guaranteed. It's why they must be taken with a lot of care. In general when I have a doubt about an information, I tell it. Before the official release, it's very hard, or it's simply impossible to have a guaranteed information. Thus I make attention, to what I'm publishing here, without the possibility to guarantee the information given in this page, for sure. It's difficult to make a difference between "information" and "rumor", in this case.
