Georgie,
As a suggestion, you might want to look at what is being covered by existing discussion threads before you start new ones.
Canon's new dribble is already being discussed
here.
And there's usually little need to repost/cross-post your message in that thread either ...
Thanx for your cooperation.
And no, it's not going to be a D70 Killer. It's a lobotomised 20D. With the same crappy kit lens that the original dribble had.
If anything was going to be a D70 killer, it would be the 20D, and as good a camera as that may be, it's still lacking a number of features that the D70 has, and I don't believe that it's rendered any dents on the D70's sales.
