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

Anyone who's at PMA who'd like to contribute pictures from the show please send them to: Phil Askey
