A new xD
The title of this post is the marketing name of a new dSLR.
The source says this is not the 60D.
Specs:
16.8mp
1.3x Crop
DIGIC IV
ISO 100-6400 (50-25600)
3.2″ LCD
19 Point AF
HDMI Out
Liveview
720p HD Movies @ 30fps
VF 100%
Weather Sealing like 5D2
EF Lenses Only
CR's Take
A cheaper APS-H camera has always been a rumor. D300/300s/400 killer? Canon certainly needs it.
Wish list specs?
Hopefully someone else I know will corroborate this.

David, I did not mean that Canon wide-angle lenses are bad, rather that, as a general rule, contemporary nikon wide-angles are a bit better. for example, the 14-24 f/2.8 and the EF 16-35 f/2.8L USM II.
TSE is a bit separate from the focal length, and Canon has always spanked Nikon with these.
I also love my 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, but, having played with the nikon it is marginally better. Of course it better be, since its so much newer and more expensive than its Canon counterpart. Of course, Canon will eventually release an updated 24-70 or equivalent, and this will beat the nikon lens. I did mean to say the Canon 24-70 is bad.
Zac, aside from the lack of 14-24 2.8 I think Canon is quite on par with Nikon’s wide angle offerings, and besting them with the 17 TSE as Nikon doesn’t have one. I think who makes the top lenses varies between the two companies lens per lens, not really wide vs. tele. I’m all for new Canon L glass though so I’d love to see some more wide L’s such as a 14-35 2.8L replacing the 16-35.

APS-H has no future in my opinion.
pros must have FF, semi-pros wanna have FF (but even 5D2 is on the limit of what they wanna spend), and beginners need something cheap camera – and APS-C fits them
I wanna see more FF products. even some simpler models – a 60D FF would be perfect ;-)
Hi – really great website you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor for a marketing firm. I have always enjoyed working with computers and am attempting to learn code in my free time (which there is never enough of lol).
