EOS 5D Out of Stock! Replacement around the corner?
After yesterday’s post about the EOS 5D Mark II, it’s interesting to find that nearly every camera shop near me is out of stock of the original EOS 5D. The only places I’ve found it in are two branches of Jessops, and they are horrendously over priced — about £200 more than I hope to […]
Canon EOS 5D Mk II - some speculation
So here’s there deal: I’m thinking about getting an EOS 5D, but am worried the moment I get it, it’s going to be replaced by a ‘Mark 2′ version - the EOD 5D Mk II.

Sensor size and noise in compact digital cameras
I was rather pleased to see an article on DPReview last Sunday about how sensor size plays a massive part in determining the noise of an image produced by a compact digital camera, especially when increasing the sensitivity of sensor to give you a high ISO rating (full article).

Ricoh announces the Caplio GX100
Is this the answer to all my prayers? Richoh have just announced their latest compact camera: the Caplio GX100. This is a compact camera with a very wideangle lens (24mm in 35mm terms), that records RAW images and has a hotshoe. It sounds almost perfect!
Sadly the cynic in me has some reservations. When Ricoh released […]
Canon PowerShot TX1
More pre-PMA goodness, this time the Canon PowerShot TX1. This is no ordinary camera — it’s an ixus-sized hybrid, offering HDTV (1280×720 pixel, 30fps) movie capture and a 7.1MP still camera.
Most notable about this camera is the unsual styling - reminiscent of the an old fashioned cine camera. Interesting bit of kit - I […]
Canon EOS-1D Mark III Announced
Pre-PMA 2007, Canon have made their first big announcement for the year: an update to the EOS 1D. The EOS 1D Mark III features a ten megapixel APS-H (1.3x FOV crop) CMOS sensor, and can take an impressive ten frames per second. It’s also got an updated DIGIC III image processor, a new 19 […]
