The third generation of the lens-interchangeable digital camera from Canon was developed with a high density area CCD containing 2.0 megapixels. Greatly reduced in size compared to the previous EOS DCS series. Rechargeable Ni-Cd battery used. EOS D2000 is compatible with more than 40 EF lenses. 340 MB of memory allows up to 160 high-quality images. Continuous shooting at 3.5 fps in 12-frame bursts enabled. Full-frame finder incorporated. The equivalent film speed range is ISO 200-1600. Audio recording enabled with built-in microphone. Image confirmation, histogram display and excessive exposure warning is enabled with 1.8″ color LCD monitor. IEEE 1394 interface adopted.
