Canon has announced that they will be releasing a black-bodied version of the EOS 300D “Digital Rebel”. The 300D is the best selling Digital SLR in the country, but has been shunned by some for its amateurish looking silver plastic body. The new black model will have all of the same features and the same price as the current model, just a different colored body.
The one in the picture is the Japanese version, but the US version should look the same except for the name and logo.
I have been waiting for this bad boy. Top o’ the Christmas list you go.
I’ve been looking into digital SLRs for a while now, but at this price range and all things being equal (if you haven’t bought into either line of lenses) I’d definitely go for the Nikon D70. I’ve played around with both of them and have to say the 300D construction feels a bit cheap compared to the Nikon.
