Some folks got a bit of excitement last night when someone accidentally leaked information about Canon’s new Rebel XT, an 8-megapixel DSLR. The new sibling model to the original Digital Rebel is now smaller and faster than its cousin, able to shoot 3 frames per second in 14 frame bursts. The XT will be known as the EOS 350D Digital in Europe and the EOS Kill Digital 2e in Japan, so if you see those names bandied about today, it’s all the same shooter.
Of course the best news is the price: under $1,000. That means the original Rebel will be even cheaper once the XT launches (although Canon still hasn’t set a date).
