Canon will release a new DSLR camera: the Canon Rebel Xti (USA name) / EOS 400D (European name).

This camera will replace the Canon EOS 350D in the DSLR lineup.

There are a lot of improvements compared to the previous camera. The press released and other information are available on DPReview.

Of course, you have the common sensor upgrade. This new camera will have a 10 megapixels CMOS sensor (more than the EOS 30D), that is impressive for a first camera in the DSLR lineup.

The big news for this camera is the sensor cleaning system. Konica Minolta, then Sony (who bought the brand) already had such system. It is great to see Canon bringing this technology to its DSLR lineup. All the Canon DSLR should have it in the future.

I hope that other brands will follow this path. Cleaning dust on sensors is painful. I hope that Nikon will use this technology in their future DSLR.

First look on this new Rebel sounds promising. Competition is good for the DSLR market. That let me hope that the new Nikon lineup will have great new features also.

According to Internet forums rumors, Nikon should release a D3h at Photokina (Remember, it is rumors!) and a D3X (perhaps full frame) next year. Let’s wait few weeks for Photokina to check these rumors.
