The Canon Rebel 1500D/T1 will be announced very soon - intended for sale during the Christmas season. The key specs:
- Same 12MP sensor as 450D/XSi
- DIGIC IV
- Movie mode added: up to HD 1080, only 1 frame rate option at that size, 30fps
- Fixed LCD 460K dots
- No significant changes in size, weight or price. Price will of course be close to 1000D's MSRP at launch
- May have sensor shift stabilization
- 3.5fps
It is rumored that the camera is in the final testing stage and may have been sent out to reviewers/testers already.
This new camera will replace the current Canon 1000D model.
