There is also a more in depth preview on this site http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos500d/
I currently have a 350d and this looks like a good upgrade, although i may wait until the price comes down a bit :)

Those list prices on DPReview don't look too promising. I thought we'd seen the end of the £/$ equivalence. It looks like we have but Canon are even more convinced we're mugs now!

potentially quite a nice bit of kit, assuming that they have paid some attention to the image quality given the number of MP crammed on to the sensor.

If your not intrested in the video mode, wouldnt you be better spending the cash of say a 50D instead.

Edit - Wow just noticed the list prices for the body only in $ & €

£870

$799 or £609*

€799 or £743*

*at todays exchange rates

Looks like a good body, wouldn't mind one myself actually. Just needs a wheel on the back and an LCD on top and it's a 50D! :D
