A reader pointed out yesterday in the Comments section of the
post on Motor Trend’s “Automotive Photo of the
Year” contest that Road & Track was also running the exact same
contest. Unlike the MT contest, however, which offers a Canon EOS Digital
Rebel XT as its grand prize, R&T is giving away the nicer Canon EOS 20D. Kind of weird that R&T is offering a
better camera from the same company for virtually the same contest. I’m assuming, of course, that Canon is providing
the cameras to both free of charge. Check out a comparison of the two Canons
here. Don’t get me wrong, we’re a big fan of Canon cameras here and a Digital Rebel XT is still a great digital SLR
that could easily take photos of high enough quality to appear in both these mags.
