Those lucky guys at Imaging-Resource got the first jump on this (if I wasn't in the middle of a trans-world move I'd have been at PMA) and posted some pictures of Canon's new EOS digital SLR. The only news released at this stage is that it's a full AF SLR with Canon EF Mount accepting Canon EF Lenses, over 3 million pixels and a tentative launch of Fall 2000 (phew!.. We heard that of the D1, hope Canon can be more accurate with their release predictions than Nikon).
Here's what I could glean from the photographs of the Prototype "behind glass"
- Digital SLR based on Canon EOS body (not sure exactly WHICH body)
- Full TTL viewfinder
- Large rear LCD
- Large top information LCD
- AF-assist Beam
- Multiple drive modes
- AF / WB lock
- Full range of AE modes: Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual, Auto Depth of Field mode
- Full range of programmed AE modes: Portrait, Sports, Macro, Night Scene, Landscape
- Rolling rear command wheel
- Rolling top command wheel
- Area focus points, AE-Lock
- Built-in pop-up flash
- Playback Zoom / Thumbnails / Info Display / Image Erase
