Holy new stuff!
I've expanded the site to add a few new features. They're going to slowly roll out as we here get used to it.
1) FIRST AND FOREMOST… This is and always will be a site geared 100% to Canon photography. Do not think for a moment I'll forget that.
2) Page 2's purpose is to report the cool stuff going on in the photography business, as well as minor stuff with Canon. This idea is stolen from plenty of other sites
3) Video… gah? It's true, apparently Canon is also market leader in the field of video and camcorders. They have everything for the consumer right up to the professional. I have someone on board eager to share his knowledge with you and build readership here.
With DSLR's getting video, I think we'll be seeing some overlapping technology.
4) Reviews! This is going to remain inactive for now. I have a new respect for camera reviewers, it takes a lot of work to do it right. I want to do it right… please be patient for us.
5) The new content may roll out slowly. I have to get some new sources of information and whatnot.
6) I hope you enjoy it, I think we will.

Wow – great additions to an already great site. Looking forward to seeing the new sections populate over the coming months
Great news cr!
Would it be possible to get a feed link including all categories (i.e. photo, video, page2, reviews)? That would make things tidier on some of our aggregators =)
Keep it coming!

I’ll look into it, WordPress isn’t too kind for what I’m trying to do. I have 3 separate blogs set up. There must be a way though.
I’m on it.
You shouldn’t have to setup 3 separate blogs. If you setup a master “photo” and “video” category and just have the posts page show those with either photo or video (never both) by using an exclude method. You could then exclude the cat listings on the sidebar from showing categories depending on what section you are on.

Interesting, I couldn’t find that kind of help on the WordPress forums. I still have no idea how to implement that though. :)
Send me an email and I will send you a bit more info about it. I design wordpress sites all the time.
Hey, good news. I wish you the best of luck with the site and I look forward to it’s development.
I know how you feel about forums, but is there any chance a basic one could pop up here in future? Perhaps a CR forum / news widget?
Cheers, Rod
First, I want to say I love your site and all the good infor on it. I wouldn’t change a thing.
IF you are going to do reviews, I like the way that the folks below do theirs. Please keep up the good work and Thanks for ALL you do!

Cool stuff!
Sweet. But I just got some bad news today regarding my 5DmkII order. Read below:
“We have canceled your order as this item is out of stock.
The (credit card) account was not debited. Thank you for the
interest. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Chuck
Helix Internet Sales Department ”
What the heck does this mean?!?!
Bebobcola;
Contact them and tell them you are willing to wait and want to keep your place in line. US mail order laws require a seller to ask buyers for a confirmation of a order if it is not shipped in 30 days, so it may have something to do with that. Different businesses may implement the law differently.
I just ran into this on a delayed order from Dell.
@ Ed
Exact-a-mundo. Their automated online order system cancels orders that can’t be shipped in a certain time frame.
I called Helix directly. Chuck was very helpful and reinstated my order (kept me at #30). Though he seemed a little flustered about Canon not having product ready for consumers. I can’t imagine running a photo/video store this season.
all this is all well and good, but are there any solid 1D IV rumours floating about??
Fortunately, I believe that Circuit city did not accept pre-orders for the 5D II.
Apparently, they owed Nikon lots of money. Circuit city and Best Buy had some pretty good price wars on cameras, this will certainly reduce the competition.
Thank you CR!
Why don’t you have a buying guide like macrumors and nikonrumors? They basically tell you to avoid buying a camera that’s about to be updated.
Speaking of price wars, Nikon just launched an aggressive price rebate on its DSLR. Will Canon sneak in any more rebates before the holidays to make their products more tempting?
