Apologies for digi-content :
Interesting how the prices of interchangeable lens, digi cameras are dropping:
Cannon rebel ~$900: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1268052,00.asp
+$100 with cheap zoom
Sigma SD9 ~$840
The cheap Cannon is interesting, in that they use a new digi lens with reduced
coverage (1.6x)
(ala Oly 4/3 format) which protrudes back into the old style lens mount. The
mirror is then on
some mechanism (parrallelogram ?) and gets retracted when it fires rather than
flipping up. The
Cannon has stripped out the flexible options so they can upsell the PRO
version.
The new pricing is going to put pressure on used E10/20. These should be
available soon at v good
prices.
