* Max. 170 large JPEG images in a single burst
* 3.0” ClearView LCD with Live View mode
* 9-point wide area AF with cross type centre point

* EOS Integrated Cleaning System
* Full compatibility with Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites, including new Speedlite 270EX, TS-E 17mm f/4L and TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II

i must say, this is impressive. This is a serious contender.
What's nikon's answer?
D5000, a mini D90...
A bit of a disappointment.
500D would be my recommendation for entry level DSLR users.
Very good features.
Only that canon launched it at probably the wrong time. Global credit crunch! Not sure if it would sell well.
No doubt, it will influence potential nikon buyers to switch to canon instead.
