Canon has finally admitted it’s existence and posted content to their website. A press release is included as well, viewable here: Press Release Linked at the end of this post is a PDF compiled shortly before the images were added to the main page, as well as links to the now released-info page. Some of the more exciting features include the 10.1 Megapixel count, use of the Digic III sensor, a 3″ LCD screen, Live View, and a bunch more, including my favorite: the wireless transmission feature previously only available in much more expensive bodies! Our blog may soon have images posted much more regularly! Quite exciting stuff in camera land!

Canon’s 40D Page

Well, it seems that SCPG is a little behind the times, as the blog had never implemented the podcast feature into the setup. While our podcasts had been uploaded to a dedicated space for listeners to enjoy, that feature was never enabled. So, I am retro-actively installing that component and linking the already-recorded podcasts here. The inaugural podcast was not included as much of the information in there has changed and it needs to be re-recorded, but the other two are re-posted here so people can find them more easily in the future. Pardon the redundancy for those who already knew about them, and welcome to those that didn’t!

For the photography gear aficionados anyway…

Every year it seems some new upgraded piece of gear graces the markets, and this year has been no exception. Canon released it’s new professional grade EOS ID Mark III earlier this year, and it seems now that the much-rumored 40D (a new body intended to replace the only 2 year old 30D) is less of a rumor than we thought. Additionally, the EOS IDs Mark III also seems to be getting some press from Canon in photo-circles too. All this on top of the software releases that have confounded the market we discussed earlier. I myself had been debating getting a 30D if and when the 40D comes out. With the technical data out on the 40D now (thanks to Amazon), and the minimal price difference between the two, I will now likely go with the newer body on its release given the higher pixel count, network wireless capabilities and much much more.

All the details are here:

and thanks go out to TOP for breaking the story on my RSS feeds!

ETA:  The Amazon page has been pulled…my guess is someone from Canon got in touch with someone from Amazon and said “No!”  More info can be found in various forums, including our own at www.scphotogs.com/forums
