The Canon 5D Mark II is out(via)
The Canon 5D Mk II is here. And I was right that Canon was waiting for everybody else to put their cards on the table before letting loose with the 5D. 21 megapixels (slightly less than the A900, but more than the Nikons), maximum ISO of 25,600, live view, and 1080p HDTV recording.
New Canon A2100 IS and A1100 IS disappoint without manual exposure(via)
I agree with this assessment. An A-series Canon without manual modes is a piece of crap.
Canon A590 IS
I'm a little scared about the A-series from Canon.

The A-series has represented a great Honda Civic (Or Toyota Corolla, which is the most recent car we've purchased) sort of experience. It's not excellent at anything in particular. It's not the smallest. It's not the most impressive. It's not the best in the darkness. But, at the very least, it gets you most of the way there. It takes decent pictures, has a decent user interface, and doesn't suck in any major way. And because it's utilitarian and not sexy, you don't pay tons of money for it.
Far beyond the megapixel race
Every time somebody bumps up the number of megapixels, there's always another set of blog posts about how useless the megapixel race is. But I don't think they get it right all the time...
Spring 2007 Camera announcement season, part one
Despite my film-shooting bent, I do like to keep up with the digital scene as well. This is all rampant speculation based on the available facts, given that nobody's dropping any expensive loaner hardware on my doorstop anytime soon.
Canon G10 Information Posted at Pop Photo Website(via)
The official rumors on the G10! My bet is that the sensor is still tiny and the biggest improvement is going to be the dedicated exposure compensation dial. I could be wrong, however.
Strobist: Canon G9: The New Polaroid?(via)
And here I thought I was a little oddball for wandering around with my G7 and my RB67... but apparently everybody else does that too.
Canon PowerShot D10 waterproof camera. Waterproof is the new thin(via)
Remember what I said yesterday about waterproof being the new thin? Canon has an inherently waterproof digital camera now too.
Canon EOS 50D and a new lens(via)
Canon ups the number of megapixels and the maximum ISO on their two-digit digital SLR series and makes a 18-200 superzoom competitor to the Nikon superzoom. And still no 5D replacement?
Modding a dSLR to take FD lenses(via)
This guy takes a Canon EOS D60 and mods it to accept the mount from a Canon AE-1p so he can use FD lenses on it.
The Canon G10... and other P&S cameras
The G10 was announced... and it's pretty much like the Pop Photo advance leak.
The Online Photographer Was Wrong about the G10(via)
I'm surprised. The G10 is actually not half bad, even with tiny pixels on a tiny sensor. And TOP admits they were wrong about being so negative about it.
Panasonic G1 vs. Canon G9: Size Comparison(via)
This is useful. The G1 looks like it might be reasonably able to fit in the pocket with the 20mm f/1.7 lens. I think that whenever they decide that American consumers can handle a smaller camera, the camera they produce will be the sort of thing I want.
Thoughts on the Serious Compact camera category
Because I view my "primary" cameras as being best carried as clusters of heavy but high-quality hardware, I've realized that I'm really a Serious Compact junkie without realizing it.
