The Canon EOS 1D Mark II N is essentially the same camera as its predecessor, the EOS Mark II, with one noticeable upgrade: an enhanced performance buffer, which can produce an 8 frame burst in JPEG and 22 frame burst in RAW format. This is an especially important upgrade for sports photographers and anyone regularly shooting in continuous mode.

The EOS ID Mark II N is certainly a professional's camera, with excellent image quality, a relatively low 1.3x crop factor, and a 48 image/ 8.5 fps burst. The camera has a APS-H size (28.7 x 19.1 millimeters), 8.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor is backed by a DIGIC II processor and a 45-point AF system.

The Canon EOS 20D is another well-balanced entry to mid-range digital SLR appealing to both advanced amateurs and professional photographers on a budget. The successor to the popular Canon 10D has a new 8.2-megapixel APS-C-size (22.5 by 15.0mm) CMOS sensor combined with a second-generation DIGIC II image processor also found on the professional EOS-1D Mark II.

The 20D has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, providing an angle of view 1.6 times the normal EF lens focal length. The camera also has a relatively wide 100-1600 ISO range, with ISO 3200 capability in extended mode.

The Canon 5D is perhaps Canon's most popular professional-grade digital SLR. With 12.8-megapixels and a true full-frame CMOS sensor, the 5D is very attractive to nearly any professional or advanced amateur photographer. The 5D's price isn't bad either; it retails for around $2800 (body), making it a very competitive seller among other cameras in its class.

The Canon EOS 30D dSLR is easily one of Canon's best-selling digital SLR cameras. The successor to the popular Canon 20D is a top competitor among mid-rage dSLRs, such as the Nikon D200, with the right blend of features and affordability to be attractive to both professional and amateur photographers.

Some of the Canon 30D's new features include a 8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with a DIGIC II Image Processor, a 230,000-pixel 2.5-inch LCD display, true spot metering, durable magnesium body, and an improved shutter mechanism. The Canon 30D's built-in flash has also received an upgrade: its speed now matches the camera's 100,000 shutter cycle.

Have you wanted to take pictures of far off galaxies, distant stars, or perhaps highly-detailed photos of the Moon? Well you can with the Canon 20Da dSLR. The camera is much the same as the Canon 20D, but with a few important modifications that make it highly suitable for astrophotography.

The new Canon Digital Rebel XTi represents a solid upgrade from its predecessor, the Digital Rebel XT. The camera has a newly designed 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor (compared with the 8 MP on the XT), a highly accurate 9-point wide area autofocus system, and an integrated self-cleaning system to keep your images smudge free.


Key Features:

Once again there are unsubstantiated rumors floating around that Canon will soon be introducing their latest dSLR: The Canon EOS 400D (XTi). There is word that Canon has placed some information about the camera on its Chinese website. If the reports are correct, the successor to the highly popular Canon Rebel XT will have a new 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with integrated dust removal system, a larger 2.5-inch LCD display, a 9-point AF system (also found on the XT), and a standard ISO range of 100 - 1600.
