EOS New Canon Digital Body Mention

[Keith Green]

Someone on dpReview spotted this first, but anyway.

In the June 2005 issue of the UK magazine Photography Monthly is the start
of their Photographer of the Year 2005 competition. This runs from now until
December 2005.
The overall prize described as a "Canon outfit worth £2,500!"

No further details are given, except:
"The camera outfit has not yet been officially announced, so we're unable to
tell you what it is! But you can be sure that if you win, you'll be using
the latest kit."

As the list price for the 20D is £1270, and the prize will presumably
include a lens, this may be the mythical 3D, or at least a tweener of some
sort.

Cheers

Keith

Interesting. AP usually offer accessories as well as the camera, maybe a
lens or two, maybe a printer.

I think it may well be a 30D.

Or it could just be a 350D and 50mm f/1.4, 17-40 f/4 and 70-200 f/4. Or
any other combination of kit (eg camera, flash, lens, tripod, printer,
maybe a cheap laptop?).

I have to agree I think it would be quite unlikely that one magazine would
have advance notice of Canon introducing a new body several months away.
More likely, they *expect* them to do so before the prize becomes payable.

Or they leave this option open so that they can still choose whether
they give an 350D or an 20D (or a new model).

I think that it is likely the prize is being offered by Canon and that the
wording simply means that Canon have yet to announce the prize. I don't
have the magazine to be able to check if it is a Canon sponsored
competition though.

Regards,

James

What they often do is to offer a 'budget' of so much to be spent in
Canon equipment. I think we're making too much fuss of it anyway...
Don't you ???
