Just a news note: A few days ago, Canon announced its newest addition to the popular consumer-level Rebel line-up. By the numbers, the T1i is an impressive camera, even if I find the new acronym/numbering “T1i” a bit awkward.
Here are the basics: 15.1MP, HD video capture (full 1080p HD video recording at 20fps), a DIGIC [...]
We’re used to seeing 15x attached to point n shooters but for DSLRs it seems to be a different story.
Not for long though people!
Tamron’s new ultra zoom lens will set the record straight.
Apparently the first lens of its kind, the AF18-270MM Di II VC covers the 35mm equivalent range of 28mm to 419mm, and does [...]

We’ve all got sets of photo’s that we’ve put together haphazardly in order to get a decent panoramic shot.
It doesn’t work that well if we’re honest does it? Overlaps, slightly different focuses, etc.
Seitz Roundshot VR Drive Panoramic Set should put all of that out of your mind.
It’s a fully automatic panorama motor for your digital [...]
Hasselblad have been quite quiet for a while. The last big moment that springs to mind is when they cut the H2.
But it looks like they feel like reminding us of their pretty impressive name.
To this end they have stepped up with the 50 megapixel H3DII-50.
Using the knowledge gained from the H3II-39 the 50 [...]
Canon 1000D / XS is here, no rumors! Canon has announced their new entry-level budget DSLR and what a beast it is.
10mp
Cleaning system
3fps
7 point AF
2.5″ LCD with Live View
SD card slot
That’s a pretty good bundle for the entry model I am sure you will agree. No news on UK price but expect it to be [...]
I spotted whispers on Northlight-Images site that Canon’s EOS 5D DSLR is about to get an update.
There are also specs posted on DP Review forums for a second generation 5D with the following changes:
A gain to 15.3MP up from 12.8MP, a 2 stop hike in light sensitivity to 25600 ISO.
The new snapper will also supposedly [...]
The 10 mp touting E-3 is a friendly little critter.
Most of the shooting options rely on the front and rear dials to control. These control aperture and shutter speed – until you press a modifier button and then they control other shooting options. These are pretty easy to get to grips with without doing the [...]
There is a shop that has a lens that makes the Sigma one that featured on this very site look positively weedy!
It is a Canon 1200mm, F5.6 USM lens. They’ve been around since 1993, but are made to order at the rate of about 2 a year – There is less than 20 out in [...]
Those of you that have been into this kinda thing for more than a year will probably recognise this thing.
It was shown off at last year’s PMA and it’s here again.
It’s designed to attach to your camera’s flash hot shoe and record the GPS information as you shoot. It will then shove all [...]
Cor! Look at that!
Well, that was my reaction.
Say “hello big boy” to Sigma’s new APO 200-500 f2.8 ultra telephoto zoom lens.
Weighing in at 16kg (35-pounds), it’s the world’s first to offer a F2.8 aperture at 500mm focal length.
Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations and produce a [...]
