You have seen the pics of the camera, here are the specifications:
Improvement that I like...
0.2 sec startup time vs 10D 2.5 sec
65ms shutter lag, 115ms mirror blackout time (1D has shutter lag of 55ms and mirror blackout of 87ms. For 10D, they are 190ms and 240ms respectively)
5 fps @ 23 frames* (jpeg) vs 3fps @ 9 frames on 10D
* Up to 44 frames when using Sandisk Extreme CF)
Robgalbraith tested that the CF write speed for 20D with Sandisk Extreme can be as high as 5.636MB/s, that's faster than D2h (5.088MB/s) & 1D MKII (<4MB/s)
Faster X-sync shutter speed - up to 1/250 sec
Black & White mode - can customise color filter and toning
USB 2.0 - Great for Zod, who want to use remote capture
New BG-E2 battery grip - includes a six AA battery magazine (how i wish 1D has that!!)
New Li battery, BP-514 supplies 10.3Wh vs BP-511's 8.1Wh (With Digic II, battery life will be even longer)
Multi-controller 'joystick' - nine-way joystick for panning during playback, AF/WB selection, now you can chimp faster than ever
9 AF pts - definitely faster than 10D, -0.5EV sensitivity, compare to 10D's 0.5EV
new Precision Matte focusing screen, better than 10D
Smaller than 10D by 6 x 2 x 3 mm and lighter by 105g
Street price - US$1500, cheaper than 10D and only 1/3 of MKII (US$4500) !! I really wonder how Canon able to do that.
