As far as I know the 300D doesn't have mirror lock . It does with the Russian firmware. |

"Dave1" writes: 300D = Polycarbonate body on metal frame D70 = ALL Polycarbonate I wonder which one really is the stronger body? I think you are confusing the 300D with the 10D. AFAIK, there is no metal frame in the 300D - it is all polycarbonate. Yes. Juergen |

No, I'm not confusing the 300D with anything, the 300D really does have
a metal sub-assembly (which the D70 doesn't). From Canon's own website: "The EOS 300D DIGITAL is the smallest and lightest (560g) digital camera and is extre-mely easy to handle. It's rigid chassis combines engineering plastic with stainless steel and is covered by strong, lightweight plastic." TBH last time I looked STAINLESS STEEL was most definitely a form of metal ;-) To read the entire article (it's on Canon Japan's site), at http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/eosdigital/index.html click "YES" and then "Get the Inside Story" and then "Compact and light body" tabs. My quoted section is in the first paragraph. |

Practical Photography did a comparison test, image wise the 300D was
said produce the superior image (not by much, but still slightly superior), general concensus appears to be that ISO noise, and colour reproduction are better on the Canon. Dave |

I apologize in advance, I imagine this has been hashed out quite a bit. Searching through groups.google, however, didn't really seem to turn up as much useful material as I would have hoped for. D70 strengths: faster continous shooting true RAW+JPEG slightly larger color gamut Maybe, but I doubt very much that this is a problem for RAW capture. In any case, the gamut of these cameras is far larger than anything that can be displayed, so I suspect it's not really a consideration. slightly lower field-of-view crop (1.5 vs 1.6) sharper, at the expense of moire Yeah, that's the tradeoff. Plenty of people have noticed this. Andrew. |
