Something new around the coner

Howdy,

This hit the wires yesterday and I thought my fellow Canon shooters might be interested. Apparently Canon China has on their website has the specs for a new camera, the 50D. It reads pretty nice. Just some of the specs on it are as follows:

• 15.1 megapixel CMOS sensor
• DIGIC 4
• 1.6x crop
• Dust Reduction
• Auto Brightness Processing
• 95% viewfinder .97 magnification
• 9 point af (All Cross Type)
• 35 meter area equipped with high-precision sensors
• AF Fine Tuning
• ISO 100-12800
• 6.3 fps (high speed) 3fps (low speed)
• Buffer: 16 RAW – 60 JPG – 10 RAW+JPG
• 920,000 points VGA 3.0-inch LCD monitor
• 100,000 cycle shutter
  
• Rugged magnesium alloy body

This looks like a pretty nice camera. I’ll keep you updated.

::UPDATE::

PhotographyBay has some photos off of the Canon China’s webiste of the new 50D and it also has an image taken with the camera. Take a look here
