99% of the people who buy it will never need the 18MP. People who are freaking out about 18MP are the ones who fall into the marketing ploys that more MP = better camera.

I was hoping for 21mp, but I'll settle for 18. Isn't it great? 3 more megapixels than the 50D!!! This thing rocks!

Well, I guess this one is my next buy ... I sorta wish they had weather-resisted it, but oh well ... I wonder what the street price will be (MSRP is $1699) and when we'll actually be able to get them.

Canon launches 15-85mm and 18-135mm EF-S lenses: Digital Photography Review



Canon EF 100mm F2.8L USM Macro with Hybrid IS: Digital Photography Review

I wonder if the B&H site is an error ... I wonder if it will be boxed with the new 18-135 ...

This may just be a nice replacement for my 40D. I like the specs. for those that are pissed its not full frame, you have other options. Some people like the crop sensor. I happen to like both. I find crop very useful for wildlife and sports, and for a cheaper body to throw under the seat of the pickup just in case. I anxiously await further reviews....

It's been on amazon since midnight for $1699.99

edit: They must have gotten yelled at. They just took the prices down.

Great thread! I've been wanting to up my 20D since it's going to be my daughter's soon. I have to say I like this one the most out of all the XXD series since the 20D was released.

Well, if you read the canon info and the dp review, canon has a new sensor design that they think allows this. I'm going to give it a chance and see what how it really performs, rather than blowing it off. I'm a child of the vacuum tube era -- who would have thought you could have a super computer on a tiny little chip?
