More Light on the Yet Unannounced Canon D40 DSLR
Canon's 40D is coming. We've felt it for months, and the latest bit of gasoline on the flames of this burning rumor is a leaked spec sheet, from Darren over at Digital Photography Blog. The upgrades are flat: The sensor moves from 8mp to 10 (the same pixel count as the XTi Rebel) and the body introduces a dust cleaning system.
That's it? We hope there are more upgrades than this. If not we might have to recommend the 30D -- on sale, of course -- over the newer body. The final answer will come in 2 weeks, at PMA where the news will (might?) officially drop.
The leaked, and unconfirmed specs, below.
