More information Check this page for additional coverage of the all new Canon EOS-1D X Planet5D sat down with Chuck Westfall to bring more information about the Canon EOS-1D X that doesn’t appear in the official Canon press release. With the 1D X we did get many advancements including the removal of the 12 minute recording time. I found it interesting that we did finally get real clarification from Canon that indeed the main reason for limiting recording time to under 30 minutes is a taxation issue in Europe. We also know that there’s still the 4gb file limit set…

The Leica M9 revisited. I’ve posted a new article as a follow-up to my original review of the Leica M9.
