Stuff to buy
– The 270EX is making its way into peoples hands.
From the folks at Dell (5D Mark III!):
A reader got this response from a Dell employee yesterday in regards to the 5D2.
“My name is Bailey and I am a sales representative here at Dell in the Electronics and Accessories department. I was informed about your situation and did a little research to try to clear some things up. It turns out that Canon is currently moving from the 5D Mark II to the Mark III. The flyer you received was up-to-date, however it appears that Dell may have received news on the transition after the flyer was put together by marketing.
Please let me know which number would be best to reach you on, as well as the time that would be most convenient for you.”
Contain laughter.
60D (older news)
– It's suggested the 60D will get an articulating screen. [NL]
– The 60D will be put on an 18 month product cycle again. [NL]
Niether of which I've received any information on.

Since we already have Canon vs Nikon and Mac vs PC arguments here, could we expand? Perhaps add a Ford vs Chevy section?
“well you can’t compare a new generation vs old generation.”
Sure you can. If they’re on the shelf at the same time, why wouldn’t you?
I wish that canon include a diaper changer on their next camera for all those whiners on the net. People who do lots of whining and little shooting will always do lots of whining and little shooting.
ha, you mean which will go bankrupt first?
Buy whatever works for you. Just don’t whine about focus points or that Canon AF is useless, it’s not.
