they also wrote that the rest of the ZI system will be available in summer.

There's also an article on the new EOS 350D, it has all the functions of the
20D, a pentamirror finder, smaller and lighter than both the 300D or 20D, a
very slightly smaller sensor with 8.0 megapixels, 3 frames per sec
for 14 jpeg frames or 5 Raw. Costs 900 euros, 1000 with the 18-55 EF-S zoom.
The viewfinder is supposed to be brighter than that of the 300D.
It also produces RAW and Jpeg parallel,not embedded like the 300D.
No information about the build quality, but at only 485 g I expect it is
not metal.
