The ripples of that day forced prices lower and removed an entire category of camera (the 'prosumer' all-in-one compact). Canon put digital SLRs into the hands of people who would otherwise...

Cons: ; Occasional under-exposure issue with Evaluative metering; Small viewfinder view; No Kelvin white balance selection in-camera; ISO, WB, Metering mode etc. not displayed on viewfinder status bar during change; Sporadic continuous shooting once buffer is full; Flash must be raised for AF assist; Average automatic white balance performance,
