The August Monthly Assignment has also ended.  The theme was Nothing but Skies.  Turnout was a little light, but the shots that are in there were neat to see.  Thanks to all who participated.  Check them out here:  August Skies  For September, the theme will be Glass.  So, get the lead out (of your glass) *insert drum / cymbal sound for bad joke here*, and join in the Monthly Assignment fun.  The forums are the preferred place to post images, but you can also post here in the comments if you like too.  Whatever, as long as it’s theme appropriate!  So..until next post:  Happy Shooting!

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!
