Canon has announced the EOS-10D -- the improved D60 (from DP Review, who also have a hands-on Preview). Imaging Resource has a review posted. Steve's Digicams has a first look too. Magnesian alloy body 6.3 megapixels ISO from 100 to 3200 3 frames/sec for up to a 9 shot burst White Balance bracketing Focal length multiplier of 1.6 Supports FAT32 file format for CF cards larger than 2GB Automatic image rotation Saves photo in both RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously Selectable color space and white balance color temp MSRP of $1999; shipping in March I bet many VR photographers will be checking these out. 7:11:18 AM

ImergeConsulting has provided a mini-whitepaper analysis of the Megapixel Enigma for Vendors Moving to Higher Resolutions. That is, upping the pixel count in the same size sensor may result in no better image quality and worse noise. Also many other aspects of the camera system need to be redesigned to keep up with the increased image size. I had posted a link to an excellent resource that goes into extreme detail on a similar topic, Norman Koren's Understanding Image Sharpness, part 7. 7:00:00 AM
