Nikon, the show is going on
Impressive as the Nikon D700 arrival was, it seems that this is not the end of the great launches for the yellow brand.

New tele-zoom are in view
Amateurs of sports photography and wildlife photography are generally well aware that the Holy Grail of lenses seems to be a (relatively) light tele-zoom lens of 100-400mm range and an aperture under f/5.6. This set of features allows a lot of versatility (tele range with the ability to quickly and easily change the frame) and… Read More

The current rumour is that top hats from Canon Japan are currently travelling to China to support the imminent launch of one or two new SLR cameras for the brand. It would be the replacement for the Canon EOS 5D (the most repeated name is now Canon EOS 7D, but who knows) and the successor… Read More

With the arrival of several Full Frame SLRs on the market, people start wondering what they should buy or what they should wait.

Canon EOS 50D wish list
In this beginning of the Summer, while many people are discussing about the arrival of the Nikon D700 (everybody seems pretty sure it will pop up this week), some are wondering whether the Canon EOS 40D will soon be replaced by a Canon EOS 50D.

Price of the Alpha 900
I have been asked by some people about the price of the upcoming Sony Alpha 900 flagship digital SLR camera. The problem is that there is no information filtering down from Sony.

With all this talk about existing Full-Frame photo cameras (Canon EOS 5D, Nikon D3) and about possibly upcoming new ones (Sony Alpha 900, Canon EOS 5D Mk II or some other similar name, etc.) many photographers happy with their existing digital equipment are wondering: “What’s all the fuss about?” And it’s a good question to… Read More
Canon is definitely an innovative brand for the marketing of photo products. For years, regarding single lens reflex cameras, Canon specialized in products clearly ahead of their time; I think about the Canon EOS 300D, of course, which surprised/shocked the market with a price so totally different from the rest of the digital SLRs that… Read More
No 5D Mk II tomorrow
There is no sign of the annoucement of a new successor to the Canon EOS 5D (under the name of Canon EOS 5D Mk II) for tomorrow, despite what had been forecasted by some. There was indeed a relatively safe information given on a DPReview forum indicating an August 2008 target (and a new EOS… Read More

Most people assume that it will be named either Canon EOS 5D Mk II (the most probable possibility according to several sources), Canon EOS 6D or even Canon EOS 7D. However, this does not… Read More
