Misprint Apparently the folks at Canon even want a 24-70 f/2.8L IS! http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3006 I vote misprint for now, even though they make it more than once. Something more? I’m on the road so I can’t post any screenshots in case the correction is made by Canon. thanks Ettore cr

When? There is still no solid information in regards to when we can expect an announcement. I get random emails saying October or February. It’s all guesses at the moment. What? A regular source of information says the new 1D will introduce the DIGIC V processor. This processor will not only be faster, but it will also be geared to video recording. The faster processors will allow for RAW video to be shot. The source had no spec information outside of that. Lenses Nothing of note coming in about lenses. Other than wishful thinking. cr

Our first So here is our first review of a camera. The review is simple and to the point. There is nothing scientific about what I’ve done. I’m basically giving you my opinion of the camera and what I noticed after a couple of days shooting with it. There are lots of places around the web that will give you insane amounts of samples and tests. I’m trying to convey what you’ll experience when you walk into a retail store and try the camera out for 10 minutes and what to pay attention to. I will update the review over…

1Ds Mark III is still a good camera! A newish web site Photocrati has just published a new review of the 1Ds Mark III. The review was done by Jack Neubart (author of Photographer’s Exposure Handbook and contributing editor at Shutterbug). Summary There are cameras out there that are faster and smarter, but sometimes what you need is a workhorse camera. And this 1Ds Mark III, my friends, is a workhorse designed to stay the course.

First Unboxing This is the first unboxed pic we’ve received of the 7D. This camera is from Henry’s in downtown Toronto. Thanks Arsen I won’t be posting any more of these.   Don’t forget the Canon announcement on the 29th. It doesn’t look to be EOS related, but Canon seems to think it’s important nonetheless. Blurrycam! I’ve only received sightings from one person in Toronto. Anyone else seen the 7D out and about?   I’ll have one in my hands Tuesday or Wednesday. thanks Andrew cr
