But no 3D or 7D yet

More info on DP Review & Rob Galbraith.

EF-S 18-200 Lens, PowerShot SX110 and a whole bunch of Powershots (including a pink one )...

UPDATE: DP Review has a hands-on preview here.

To me the biggest part of the news is this snippet "...and that the 5d replacement would come at Photokina."

More info here and here.

While there's no news of the upcoming 5D replacement, there is a 50D in the works... Screen shot of the website here.

Was too busy yesterday going to meetings, making important phone calls and trying to finish up more photo processing so this post kinda slipped by me. Anyways, Five, yes, FIVE years ago, August 20th marked the launch of the DSLR that I think changed the entire Digital Camera landscape. Whether you are a Nikon fan, Pentax or Olympus fan or not it doesn't matter but it was the first DSLR that mortals like me could afford without taking out a bank loan! I'm talking about Canon's EOS-300D (press release link). Well, it was my first DSLR and while I know I traded it up for a 20D later, it still went with me to Perth, Western Australia and boy I remember the slow start-up time and limited burst but hey, it made up for it by creating so many fun shots I can't imagine the trip without it. Here's when I bought it!

Anyways, here's another person celebrating on the 20th. My cousin Alice. Happy happy birthday and don't fall off your bike

Come on Canon, where the heck is the 5D replacement. I've been eyeing the used 5Ds everywhere... I need a camera to turn my 16-35 back to what it once was!!!

And unfortunately, at USD799. A pity. A USD599 price would be just sweet! The specs however are fantastic and you can see Phil Askey of DPReview take the camera around Vegas here. The results are just what I want in a compact camera!

and only a few models launched. Nothing really spectacular but the EOS-450D does boast an impressive array of improvements. Guess the competition is heating up and that's good for us consumers!

Canon releases firmware version 1.0.4 for the EOS-20D. Link here. Hopefully it fixes the lockups.

** update **
Some people have reported problems with the new firmware. I noticed that Canon Japan has taken it off (from the link above) so probably wait a bit and see what happens.
