| Canon - Digital SLR | EOS 1Ds Mark III - 21.1 Megapixel |
|
| The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world. |

| DxO sheds light on camera sensor performance |
| |
A correction was made to this story. See below for details.
DxO Labs, a French company with deep experience measuring cameras' technical performance, has launched a Web site called DxOMark.com that features detailed information on the performance of the image sensor at the heart of many higher-end digital cameras.
Many Web sites and magazines measure camera image quality with varying degrees of rigor, typically examining either the JPEG that the camera produces or a processed version of the camera's raw. But with its DxOMark Sensor measurement, DxO takes a new approach by judging the sensor performance based on the unprocessed "raw" image file from higher-end cameras such as SLRs.
That's significant, because raw images typically must go through a conversion process called demosaicing before they're useful for viewing. Most digital cameras capture only a single color--red, green, or blue--for each sensor pixel. Demosaicing fills in the gaps in this colored checkerboard pattern so each pixel gets all three color components, but this processing stage can disguise sensor performance.
The detail-obsessed camera crowd has begun eagerly chomping on the new data. On Sunday, there were 220 mentions of DxOmark on the Digital Photography Review forums, a popular location for impassioned technical discussions.

New tests coming
More measurements are coming, added Nicolas Touchard, vice president of marketing for DxO Labs' image quality evaluation business. First, in two or three weeks, will come measurements for medium-format digital camera sensors from companies including Hasselblad, Mamiya, Phase One, and Leaf. Then will come more high-end compact "bridge" cameras.

For the DSLR hardcore, we doubt you waited much more than a day or two after launch before securing a Rebel XSi of your own, and for newcomers to the fold, you may have snatched one up after hordes of reviewers gave it an expected thumbs-up. Whatever the case, we're eager to know what's gone right and wrong with the first thousand or so clicks. Has it lived up to your expectations? Are you decidedly joyous about the image quality? Could anything stand to be tweaked / reworked / overhauled completely? You ponied up some serious change for this thing, so don't let emotion get in the way of telling Canon how you really feel.Permalink | Email this | Comments

| Canon 5D :: My First Professional Digital SLR |
| | I had been doing some research on professional digital cameras over the last few years and decided to eventually go with the Canon 5D. A professional photographer friend of mine had been with Nikon for years and he sold all of his equipment and switched to Canon because he said Nikon had poor customer service. Additionally I already had a few Canon lenses from an older 35mm so it made the choice even easier.I come from a surf photography background which for the most part in small to medium size waves will require a wide angle lens. Most digital SLRs have a sensor that is smaller than a piece of 35mm film which has the effect of magnifying the lens by 1.6x. This is handy with the long lenses for getting that extra zoom but in the water with the wide angle it actually crops the image! What caught my eye with the Canon 5D is that it is a full frame sensor meaning no more cropping with wide angle lenses.The need for me to have a full frame sensor put me on the higher end of Canon's digital line. The only higher end bodies are the fully professional 1d series (Mark II / III / etc). After looking at the cost of the 1d series vs the 5d it was apparent that the 5d was more appropriate for my price range at about $2300 new. Luckily I have patience and some skills on eBay so I learned that the 5d could be had for between $1500 and $1800 for the body alone in used condition. The good news is that they don't depreciate much (or at least won't until the next model comes out) so I could probably easily resell the camera for a minimal loss if needed.One of the drawbacks of the 5D vs the higher end Mark's is that it only has the Digic II processor in it instead of the Digic III. The digic III is faster, has better color detection, and a few other bonuses. I still went with the 5d as it would be a good place for me to start and if I found that my pictures weren't producing what I wanted I could always upgrade if I needed.The most unfortunate thing is that after you spend... |

| Canon's Rebel XSi gets emphatically unboxed |
| | Filed under: Digital Cameras
Well, what do you know? The actual Rebel XSi comes packaged in a box that looks exactly like the one that cropped up earlier this month. Still, there's just something special about seeing Canon's latest DSLR cautiously unboxed, with the fortunate unboxer taking special care not to insert an obscene amount of blur into each snap. Sure, the model shown above was unboxed within a retail location, but that's not to say you can't hand over some cold hard cash to do the same at your abode. Check out the whole process in the read link below -- just brace yourself for some serious (albeit SFW) gadget affection in that first shot.[Thanks, Ryan]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

| Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Review |
| | Just posted! Our in-depth review of the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, Canon's flagship full frame digital SLR and the current 'big daddy' of the professional DLSR market. As well as upping the resolution to a class-leading 21.1 megapixels the Mark III boasts a raft of improvements and refinements over the Mark II, the camera it replaces. We've been using the EOS-1Ds Mark III for over 8 months now, and finally got the review finished this weekend. So, apologies for the 'better late than never' timing. |

| The New Canon EOS 450D... the 4th Digital Rebel |
| | (content from DPReview... http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS450D/... this is just a sample blog ... please visit the URL above to read dpreview's excellent review)Four and a half years have passed since the first affordable digital SLR from Canon; the EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). In that time we have witnessed two further iterations (the EOS 350D and EOS 400D) leading up to today's fourth generation EOS 450D, with twice the megapixel count of the original (twelve versus six) in a smaller body with a far wider range of functionality and features and a $200 lower list price. Since those heady days in 2004 when the EOS 300D was the only kid on the block we've seen Nikon, Pentax and Olympus all attempt to hit the same sweet spot of size, features and price at the 'lower end' of the DSLR market, with varying degrees of success. Without a doubt the EOS 450D will have to do more today to prove itself in an increasingly crowded market.On the third page of this review you'll find a detailed breakdown of all of the changes and updates compared to the EOS 400D but the headlines are; a larger 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both passive and contrast detect AF, Spot metering, improved auto-focus, 3.5 fps continuous shooting a larger viewfinder and a switch SD/SDHC for storage (all previous cameras in this range were Compact Flash). Other features appear to be inherited from the EOS 40D; 14-bit image pipeline, Highlight Tone priority, optional High ISO noise reduction, 'My Menu' and display of the ISO sensitivity on the viewfinder status line. There's also the new stabilized kit lens (for review and samples click here).Note that throughout this review we will refer to the EOS 450D by its European name; if you live in other parts of the world you'll know the camera by (in order of silliness) Rebel XSi or Kiss X2 Digital, but they're all the same.Please read the entire review at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS450D/Canon - Digital SLR | Rebel 450D XSi - 12.2 Megapixel,... |

Today's digital cameras have many image enhancing features for the beginning, intermediate, and advanced photographers. Our digital photography community continues to made their tips and techniques available to you. Take a few minutes to learn how to take the best digital pictures. Here are the 9 settings you need to discover. 1. Exposure Bracketing: A way to force your digital camera to take multiple pictures at different exposure compensation levels to ensure a good photograph.2. Histograms: A way of judging the exposure of an image on camera, without relying on minuscule and often inaccurate LCD screens.3. Burst Mode: A mode that enables you to take many individual frames per second.4. Full Manual Mode: A way of setting both the aperture and the shutter speed at the same time.5. RAW File Format: An uncompressed image format that preserves more information than the common JPEG.6. Custom White Balance: Custom white balance is a more precise way of gaging the color temperature in an image than using the manufacturer’s presets, but it requires a bit more effort.7. Aperture and Shutter Priority Mode: Usually on the dial on top of your digital camera. On Olympus digital cameras, the mode may be represented by A/S/M. On Nikon digital cameras, shutter priority mode is symbolized with an S and aperture priority mode is an A. On Canon digital cameras, generally shutter priority is represented by Tv (strange, I know) and aperture priority is Av. Other digital camera manufactures generally use some sort of similar lettering.8. ISO: ISO setting on your digital camera is a way of setting the sensor’s sensitivity to light.

| Samsung hints at full-frame camera |
| | Samsung has hinted at plans to develop a full-frame CMOS imaging sensor for use in a 'professional' standard digital SLR.So far, however, the sensor has only reached the design stage and it is far from clear whether it will become a reality.We also understand that, late last year, Samsung Electronics set up a secret team within its HQ in Suwon to begin research on a professional DSLR.Samsung has also made clear that its relationship with Pentax is ongoing.The news emerged during an informal discussion with a high-ranking Samsung official at an industry event in Seoul, Korea, attended by Amateur Photographer (AP) technical writer Barney Britton.Kyong-Kook Shin, assistant manager for Samsung's digital camera marketing planning group, suggested that the firm is actively pursuing development of a full-frame CMOS sensor intended for use in a professional camera.Reporting on the 2 April meeting, Barney writes: 'Although there is no indication yet as to when it might arrive, it seems now that photographers can look forward to a professional full-frame DSLR with a Pentax lens mount at some point in the future.'Samsung UK's office was not able to confirm the comments made by Kyong-Kook Shin.Commercial director Robert King told AP's newsdesk: 'Samsung is committed to the DSLR market and we are continuing to invest in R&D in this important market sector. However, we are unable to provide further comment on any future product development at this time.'Samsung's latest DSLR is the 14-million-pixel GX-20, which carries an APS-C size sensor. |

| Canon EOS 40D owner hacks camera, records silent movie |
| | Filed under: Digital CamerasThis enterprising EOS 40D owner wants a DSLR that records video, too -- and he's taking action. This hack uses CHDK -- the free firmware enhancement for Canon PowerShot cameras -- and LiveView to capture video to the camera's CF Card. There are still a few issues: LiveView shuts down after a period of inactivity, video can't be transfered via USB, and unlike your $79 consumer grade camera, the EOS 40D won't record audio. But what's a little challenge in the face of a good camera mod? There's no word on file format, frame rate or resolution (though the camera's display weighs in at 320 x 240), but there are lots of other juicy details available once you hit the read link. And be sure to catch the video after the break.
