Yesterday Canon announced that the T3 Rebel will...wait for it...come in three new colors (red, brown, and some sort of ugly gray). As long-time readers know, I believe that when makers start trying to put fashion or fad into a product category, the product has pretty much run its course in terms of technology driving sales. It was one thing when Pentax went with the "any color you want" skinning of their DSLRs. It's another when the market leader does it. Low-end DSLRs are looking more and more like dinosaurs, about to turn into an evolutionary dead-end.
