Canon EOS 20D 8MP SLR Camera officially announced

First some photos appeared of the EOS 20D before the official announcement. Now Canon has a press-release online detailing the new Canon EOS 20D.
The new 8.2-Megapixel EOS 20D Digital SLR Features DIGIC II Image Processor, 9-Point Autofocus and Up to 23 Consecutive Frames at Five Frames Per Second.
The Canon designed and manufactured CMOS sensor has a maximum resolution of 3504 x 2336 pixels, which is sufficient for very large prints (up to 16 x 24 inches). The EOS 20D digital SLR is both smaller and lighter than the 10D model.

Available in September, the EOS 20D digital SLR will carry an estimated street price of $1,499* without a lens; $1,599* with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5 -5.6 zoom lens; and $1,999* with the new EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Wide Angle Zoom lens†. Canon says the new EOS 20D is ideal for journalists, wedding and portrait photographers.
