I can’t classify this as an official rumor, and I can reveal my source, but there are rumblings out there that Canon is going to announce internally that they are aiming for a Digital Rebel, a consumer-level (or prosumer) digital SLR camera targeting the sub-$1000 price range.
If this is true, it could rock the camera industry. I don’t know any more, but if I find anything out, you know that I’ll post it. No, my information didn’t come from a website somewhere, but a person. I just hope that they’re right.
