Interesting - I wonder why they went with 10.1MP? They've got a whopper of a camera that's 16MP, and another doozy that's the 11MP - wonder why they decided to go a little smaller?

Maybe it's for the faster shooting for sports, photojournalism, etc.? (yes, I'm typing out loud and even answering my own question in a mental freeflow with a keyboard... I'm weird like that...) Nikon did that when they came out with the 4MP one (when they'd already made 6.1MP cams) because their processors and buffers could keep up better.

As for the lenses - I thought you could use ALL Canon lenses with ALL Canon cameras - they'll just have more or less variants of crop depending on image size and rear projection diameter. But I was under the impression they all WORK with any Canon DSLR you've got?
