I'm planning to purchase a DSLR for astro imaging. What's the word on
new products from Canon in the next three-six months?

Well, I did spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express. OOPS! I meant to
say I did attend the astro DSLR forum sponsored by Canon at NEAF in
May.

Informed speculation: I am not looking for anything from Canon in the
near future; the 30D and other models are still relatively new. The
20Da is only recently discontinued.

Authoritative: Canon representatives said that Canon is considering a
successor to the 20Da, and they had a questionnaire for attendees at
the DSLR forum in order to gauge the amount of interest, ask what
features people would like to see in such a camera, and ask "how much
would you be willing to pay?"

I would not hesitate to purchase a Canon DSLR at this time out of
concern that it would be obsoleted in the near future; my 20D does not
feel obsolete in spite of being out of production. Indeed, I hope that
I will be able to buy a Hutech 30D soon. But I'm not recommending
anything to you, lest you be a person who has to have the /very/
latest...
