Black Bodied Digital Rebel

"Canon Japan has today announced a new black bodied version of the 'Kiss Digital' as it is known in Japan (EOS 300D / Digital Rebel). At this stage it's unclear whether Canon will make the new black body available in Europe (as the EOS 300D) or North America (as the Digital Rebel). Remember also that the Japanese market get the USM version of the EF-S 18-55 mm lens which is powered by a normal DC motor in the rest of the world. Personally I think the camera looks much better in black, the color Canon should have chosen right from the start."
I always found the silver plastic body to be one of the biggest downsides of the 300D, as compared to the black metallic body of the EOS 10D. Well, Canon has addressed at least one of those concerns (body still remains plastic). So for all you potential Digital Rebel EOS 300D users, you now have the option of getting a black bodied 300D as opposed to a silver one.
