For a lot of people this is the holy grail of 24mm lenses. But this particular reviewer is not so impressed:
 
"If a lens belongs to the Luxury series and we have to pay around 1700 $ for it is difficult to accept the fact that it might have some serious slip-ups. Unfortunately the EF 24 mm f/1.4L USM II didn’t manage to avoid them. The vignetting is

The camera that should have been the 60D?
"The combination of a cropped sensor and no image stabilization means that your video will probably be pretty shaky. I’d recommend picking up a

Canon Press Release:
 
Canon has announced the launch of its enhanced Canon Professional Services (CPS) programme - developed following consultation with the CPS community - that now offers an even more extensive after-sales support system for professional photographers and videographers.

A very interesting shoot-out, with some unpredictable results: 
 
"It's a widely held belief that in low light the 5D trounces the GH1. But it is simply not the case. In fact the GH1 often matches or produces a punchier image, especially at ISO 800 - and it's not even much nosier, usually."

"Comparing" is a tad harch, its more like an apples to oranges and Klingons to Jedi thing:
 
"This article compares all the affordable weather-sealed DSLR cameras in production. These DSLRs are the Canon EOS 7D, the Nikon D300S, the Olympus E-3, the Pentax K-7, the Pentax K20D and the Pentax K200D. The definition of weather-sealed varies between models but does not mean waterproof, so all DSLRs

And a 5D MkII thrown in for good comparison. Watching the 1D MkIV getting the spank of its life is a painful experience to say the least:
 
"Don’t get dismayed Canon fans, compared to most cameras, the EOS 1D Mark IV does a very respectable job at high ISO, however the Nikon D3s just takes things to a whole new level, I hate to encourage you to skip past the fine print, but check out the ISO 1600 samples from the D3s, they look a lot like ISO

Personally i don't choose lenses, they choose me :) If YOU are not so lucky, maybe this article will shine a light:
 
"Canon’s EF-S 10-22mm USM is one of the best quality ultra-wide-angle lenses in its range. As an EF-S model, it will only work on cropped-bodies, but the equivalent range of 16-35mm is ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, cramped interiors, large buildings or big group shots. The USM focusing is also

Some of these "best blahblah" writeups gets pretty trivial sometimes, except when dollars comes to play. How about, "best under $600, or even $300"?
 
"But suppose even $600 is too much to pay for a lens, what can you get for under $300 (includes some discontinued lenses at typical used prices). Note that some prices may have crept up a little since the database was last updated which is why I say under around $300"

Canon has improved almost every aspect of this classic, including costruction, optical elements, and IS engine. The price has worsened though:

"Improving upon one of the most celebrated lenses in the Canon EF line is no easy feat, but Canon has done just that. The all-new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM increases the speed, performance and optical quality of the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM while maintaining all of the characteristics that have made it a

This must be the 4345th reviewer of this digicam that renarks on the lack of 720p video in this cam, and we all know it's Sony's fault. Bad Sony!:
 
"Autofocus is pretty good though again not blazingly fast. It's a little quicker at the wide end of the range (under 0.5s) than it is at the telephoto end (under 1s). Again, OK by digicam standards, slow by DSLR standards. There is a very effective and pretty bright AF assist light (which is purple/blue rather then the

Both panoramas are located in Europe: One is the worlds biggest panorama, depicting the city of Dresden, totalling 26 Gigapixels ( 297.500 x 87.500 pixels) It concists of 1.655 pictures and it took the pano-robot 172 minutes to finish! The other one, a spherical panorama was taken in Prague, and it  is 192,000 pixels wide and 96,000 pixels tall giving us a total of 18.4 Gigapixels.

The extensiveness of this review can only be matched by those of Dpreview. But these guys also add a nice, comprehensive video section too. I'd say its One of the top 5 reviews of the 7D:
"The Canon 7D essentially functions under automatic control in every mode except Manual mode. In all the other modes shutter speed, aperture, and

Better to have SOME action on the 1D mkIV front than non at all. The preview includes the bodies of a mk IV and a Chinese girl model (complete with huge Canon sticker attached to arm, is she made by Canon too?), and one of these bodies shown is naked!

Well, the road to more affordable inks is paved with technical difficulties and...lawsuits. This time Canon (and it's shareholders) wins:
 
Settlement of patent infringement lawsuit for inkjet printer cartridges

December 17, 2009—Five defendants in a patent infringement suit that Canon filed agreed to settle today.

Common for the three cameras is added support for the new wireless transfer units. The 5D Mk2 also gains lower noise when shooting in bulb mode

(Via Engadget)  Bad puns asside like dropping faster than Canon's marketshare etc, this is a pretty amazing story:
 
The mounting plate detached when he opened his chute and both cameras (photo + video) took a fall from approximately 3000 ft. Amazingly, the Rebel survived the fall and my friend is still using it to this very day. It has a crack in the plastic body and the kit lens is a little jerky when

Aaaah, some people are really truly lucky :) For the rest of us, there's the drool bucket:
" had not one but two 1DmkIV bodies from Canon to play with along with a selection for lenses from a 14mm right up to a 300mm f2.8. I wanted to test not just the low light but the slow motion capability as well so I shot this whole film on 720p/60 and then slowed it down to 23.98 fps using

Cnet is known for these mini reviews they cook up in 5 minutes, but this one is actually ok:
"The biggest draw for current Canon users thinking of stepping up from the 50D (or that class of camera) to the 7D is the improved autofocus and better photo quality at higher ISO sensitivities; it's significantly better than the 50D in those respects, and well worth the price differential. Things

Bob Atkins uncovers some of the less good aspects of this budget lens, butg in the end, he sort of reccomends it for some uses:
"As would be expected in a relatively inexpensive wide to tele zoom, there are some compromises which have to be made. The EF-S 18-135/3.5-5.6 IS shows vignetting and distortion, especially at the wide and tele ends of the zoom range. Center sharpness is generally quite good, but the lens

Of course, being a Strobist review, it focuses on all things flash, but be sure to read the comments too, some of them are little gems of G11-info:
"The huge knock on the previous G camera was their low performance at high ISOs. The G11 has sacrificed the pixel count in favor of fewer, higher quality pixels. I found the higher ISOs to be much better than my previous G9, and did not miss the extra image size at all."

Jeff Keller says: "After learning some Digital Photo Professional tricks while I was reviewing the PowerShot S90, I went back and re-converted all the RAW images in the PowerShot G11 review. I think they look quite a bit better than what I had before."

If DXO's ratings are to believe the 7D does not hold too well against the Nikon D300s, or even the older Canon 50D, but the differences are small.

In the age of cropped sensors and 18+ megapixels this lens may seem a bit "meh", but the reviewer still finds something good in it:
"For the price, the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens performs reasonably well optically. With a wide open aperture, the 28-135 IS is quite sharp in the center of the image throughout the focal length range. With a wide open aperture, the 28-135 IS delivers moderately soft corners at 28mm, very soft

While the m4/3ds format is growing daily within the prosumer camera range, the two big ones (CaNikon) will have us choose between a swiveling display and a lot of megapixels:
These cameras are squarely aimed at the amateur photographer entering the DSLR market, but they are cameras that almost any pro would feel

And it took all of the pounding without a hitch. Ole Jorgen Liodden reports:
"I always use the 7D with the attached battery grip because it gives me a much better grasp of the camera. Some 5D Mark II users who use the battery grip have reported some problems with water leaking between the camera and battery grip. The battery grip for 7D is new and seems tighter and better sealed.

No award stuff here, just a pretty descent do-it-all lens:
"Like the EF-S 18-55 and the EF-S 18-200, the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens uses a Micro Motor to drive AF. It is neither fast nor silent, but is adequate for casual use. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not featured - this lens should be switched to MF before adjusting focus manually.

This camera has many good sides, but rying to overcome Panasonic's LX3 is a difficult feat:
"Ultimately the Lumix LX3 remains a highly compelling compact for enthusiasts and one which is superior overall to the S90 in several key respects, so long as you can live without telephoto coverage and the smaller body. The biggest problem facing the LX3 though is not so much the S90, but sheer availability.

One of the better reviews out there:
"Any of the modes worked well with static subjects, although users should keep in mind when using the auto select or zone methods that all AF points in the selected zone are used to acquire focus and will tend to focus on the nearest subject. For moving subjects I found that AF point expansion worked best

A review written in a very personal style, but yet professional:
"The 5D is really a much more versatile camera than the M8. Its got AF, its speedy, its low light ability is CRAZY good and the full frame sensor gives you some super creamy, super smooth files. BUT the size of the camera, for me, is overkill. Just to large, and I would never use it! Usability Factor for me was low, but man, the images are gorgeous.
 

It may look like a (sub)pixel-peeping feast, but still a very good read. No wonder why the 1D MkIII was left out of the shootout, these guys are landscape photographers. From Miles Hecker @ wyufoto.com:
"So, to sum it up, it seems that the coventional wisdom holds. Big pixels are better pixels, at least when the final output is a relatively large print. Crop sensor cameras have advantages in the reach department, for telephoto work, but not for overall quality. We won't argue the point that full sensor cameras require higher quality lenses to resolve detail across the whole frame. It certainly is true, and lens selection is critical for best results from the 5Dmk2 or Sony A900. We won't debate the
