Canon EOS 40D Announcement & Availability
Less than two weeks after I originally wrote about Canon 40D rumors, an official announcement has been made! In a press conference held yesterday, the digital camera manufacturer confirmed a September release date for the Canon 40D.
In the end, the final specs for the 40D changed only slightly from the rumored ones. The main difference is a 3″ LCD display instead of the supposed 2.5″. The 40D will also have the live view function and is weatherproofed for shooting outdoors in the rain.
Canon also took the opportunity to announce the new Canon 1Ds mk III. You can find full specs for both the EOS 40D & 1Ds up on Canon’s site. For extra drooling, UK magazine T3 nabbed some exclusive video of both new cameras.
After almost two months of silence since the last leak, Nikon D3 rumors have started up again in earnest. According to Electronista, the DSLR heavyweight has press conferences scheduled for either this Thursday or sometime next week.
