The D60 and the 10D seemed to establish a logical schedule for Canon: a new DSLR model every year. The D60, with a 6.3-megapixel sensor, had been introduced a full year earlier, in February of 2002. The 10D, in turn, was an upgrade from its predecessor, the D60, the very first Canon DSLR. The EOS 300D, known as the Digital Rebel in the United States and the Kiss Digital in Japan, was the direct descendent of another Canon model, the 10D, which was introduced in February of 2003. It was quite a capable camera at a very reasonable price. So when Canon introduced the 300D in August of that year, it was a surprise in terms of both timing and cost. The Canon EOS 300D camera was the first to bring high-quality digital single-lens-reflex technology to the masses.īy the beginning of 2003, it was obvious that a good, affordable digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) was inevitable, but still probably at least a year away.
