Ich erhalte die EOS-Mails regelmäßig, heute dies Nachstehende. Interessant (und mich hoffnungsvoll stimmend) ist der Hinweis, daß man zwar das gleiche Belichtungsmeßsystem der D60 verwende, daß aber die Algorithmen verbessert worden seien.

==========
REPLACEMENT FOR EOS D60
==========
THINGS MOVE fast in the digital camera market. The technology is still
relatively young and advances are rapid. Five years ago the 2-megapixel
EOS D2000 camera cost around £11,000. Three years ago we had the
ground-breaking 3-megapixel EOS D30 at around only £2000, and this was
replaced last year by the 6-megapixel EOS D60 at the same price.
Now the EOS D60 is about to be replaced by another 6-megapixel model,
but at a lower price.
The EOS 10D retains the best features of the EOS D60, adds new functions
(some first seen on the EOS 1D and 1Ds), improves the autofocus
algorithms, and streamlines the layout of control buttons. The price has
not been confirmed, but it is expected to show a saving of at least 25%
over the cost of the EOS D60. For the first time, you will be able to
buy a quality digital SLR for around the same price as a professional
analog (film) SLR. Changing from EOS film to EOS digital is no longer
the major step you might imagine. The new 10D looks and feels like an
EOS, and many of the controls and functions will be familiar to film
aficionados. All your EF lenses, and some other accessories, are
compatible. And with this new camera, you don¹t even need a computer, as
it offers Direct Printing with compatible Canon BJ and CP printers.
What¹s in a name?
Canon appears to be rationalising the names of its digital EOS series.
Originally we had the EOS D2000, D30 and D60. Then came the EOS 1D and
1Ds professional models. Now we have the EOS 10D. If you are familiar
with earlier analog cameras, you will remember a time in the early 1990s
when the professional EOS 1 was followed by the EOS 10.
Significant features
Although less expensive than the EOS D60, the EOS 10D offers many
significant improvements. As the following list shows, you are getting
more for your money.
? Like the D60, the EOS 10D uses a CMOS sensor with approximately 6.3
effective megapixels, though manufacturing and circuit improve-ments
give better image quality.
? When a RAW image is captured, the D60 also records and stores a
Middle/Fine JPEG image in the RAW image file. The EOS 10D lets you
choose any of six JPEG settings from Large/Fine to Small/Normal (via
Custom Function 8).
? The EOS D30 and EOS D60 are compatible with sRGB colour space. The
EOS 10D is also compatible with Adobe RGB colour space (we¹ll look at
colour space and what it means in a future issue).
? The settable processing parameters * contrast, sharpness, colour
saturation and colour tone * are the same as with the D60. However, the
ranges have been extended from ±3 to ±5 steps.
? The EOS D60 has five preset white balance positions. The EOS 10D
adds another * OshadeO (approx. 7000 K). It also copies two features
from the EOS 1D * Owhite balance bracketingO with JPEG images (three
images are shot with slight variations in the colour temperature) and
Ocolour temperature¹ (set from 2800 to 10,000 K in 100 K increments).
? The D60 only handles recording media up to 2GB and only the FAT 16
file format. The EOS 10D handles media larger than 2GB and automatically
switches between FAT 16 and FAT 32 as required.
? The EOS D60 magnified image view is fixed at about 3x with nine
image segments. With the EOS 10D you can magnify the image up to 10x in
15 increments.
? The EOS 10D uses the same AF sensor as the EOS 30, with seven
focusing points. AF speed and subject tracking are as fast or faster
than the EOS 30.
? Like the EOS D60, the EOS 10D uses a 35-zone metering sensor, but
there are new algorithms for improved results.
? Continuous shooting is at 3fps for up to 9 shots with the EOS 10D
(3fps for 8 shots on the EOS D60).
Design features
Previously, a magnesium alloy chassis has only been used in the EOS 1
camera line. However, it is now used for the EOS 10D top, front and rear
covers to produce a high-strength body with a solid feel.
Although a similar size to the D60, the new camera has been redesigned
for easier handling. ISO can be changed using a button on the top panel,
rather than through the menu, and there are other features which speed
up operation.
Target market
The EOS 10D is clearly designed for enthusiasts, and is certain to
encourage more photographers to make the move from film to digital
imaging. It will also appeal to some professional users who want to test
the market before committing themselves to the EOS 1D or 1Ds.
