I love the Pro 70, but am dying for an update. Canon has a big gap in
their line between the new sub $1000 P&S's and the EOS D30.
Keep the same body and flip-out LCD. Give it a little more reach in
telephoto, say 90mm equivalent, but definitely not at the expense of the
28mm equivalent f2.0 wide angle. Aperture priority, full manual, faster
shutter speeds (no more 1/180 limit below f8.0), spot metering, manual
white balance, etc.
In short, don't take anything away from an already great camera. Just add
the new features that Nikon, Olympus, Sony, and the others have.
Keep it under $1500 and I'll be first in line to buy it.
I'm not even worried if it has built in flash. The Pro 70 is just too
good with the 380EX.
says that Canon will present the Canon Powershot Pro80 and another
model at the Photokina exhibition this year.
Best regards,
Andreas
