LAUNCHED UPDATE: DP Review Front Page over here!

Someone asked me recently about DSLRs and the fact that there's three major players now. Actually, I don't consider Sony-olta seriously for now but given that Sony's probably another 800lb gorilla like Canon... you never know. Anyways, with all the latest announcements and the fact that I've a sizable investment in Canon gear (I'll post a packing for a shoot photo tonight), it is logical that I'm waiting for Canon's newest next week despite Sony's ground-breaking (in terms of pricing) for a 24, yup, twenty-four megapixel monster. I wonder how many rich hobbyists are going to find out that 6000 x 4000 pixels are going to be occupying a lot more storage and it'll probably be full of pictures of their dog, cat or pet fish. Anyways, honestly, I'm a Canon user, not some rabid fanboy of any system unlike some others. However, if you would to ask me who would I support, it'll be a small company based in Southern California. RED. They revolutionized video with the Red One and continue to do so with the Red Scarlet and EPIC. So, recently, when the big man at Red, Jim Jannard says there'll be a revolutionary DSLR from RED late 2009, you bet I'm waiting and listening.

Oh, yeah, in case you happen to wonder, Jannard is also the guy behind Oakley.

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.

Not that there's nothing happening but more like there's not much time. I have a Photo Book to complete and OA Medical record photos to process. That's in addition to planning the medical trip on March 20th plus a bunch of new things at work and home to look after. Hang in there!

Will be blogging less the next couple of days as I'll be away from the office for a few days of training.

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!
