Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the Canon PowerShot E1.
The soft curves and the fashionable colours may indeed work with kids and teens, but the whole point of a stylish camera is compromised by the poor build quality and the use of low-grade materials.
O’Reilly has just announced the release of their Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS/1000D Companion. It’s $24.99 and, as the title implies, covers the functionality of the Canon Rebel XS. I recently published a review of the Rebel XSi version of this book (also by Ben Long) and was generally impressed with the content. I can’t imagine that the Rebel XS version will be much different in terms of quality. So, if you’re picking up the Rebel XS, this would probably be a good book to grab with it. Details in the press release below. It’s available for pre-order at Amazon.com for $16.49.
The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS/1000D Companion Sebastopol, CA—If you’re thinking about investing in a new Canon Rebel camera, you’ll definitely want to check out the latest books from O’Reilly’s popular Companion series.
Noted photographer Ben Long’s The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS 1000D Companion ($24.99) serves as a full-on photography class built specifically around the XS. Ben also authored The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D Companion ($24.99), which is tailored specifically for people who use that camera. [Read more…]
This is the first unofficial video made with Canon 5D Mark II that I’ve seen. I’ll let you judge for yourself.

So, what do you think of the “video” capabilities of this new DSLR?
New reviews up for the Canon 50D:
So while the 40D is great, and will remain in the market, the Canon 50D incorporates plenty of enhancements worth the couple-hundred extra bucks. The Canon 50D is an excellent digital SLR.
It is an all-round DSLR camera for the enhanced hobby photographer who can deal with any branch of photography with this camera.

Cameras.co.uk has published a review of the Canon Powershot A1000 IS.
If you are not worried whether or not your camera will slip into a pocket then the Canon Powershot A1000 IS provides good value for money. It takes a decent shot in most situations and offers a few extra features over and above more basic digital cameras.
Earlier this week, Luminous Landscape pitted the Canon G10 against the Nikon P6000. Now, PhotographyBLOG has done the same thing – with the same results.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera, but the Canon PowerShot G10 is better – it’s as simple as that.

DP Review has published a full review of the Canon 50D.
Below ISO 1600 image output is clean with well balanced contrast and colors and as you would expect from a DSLR with a 15 megapixel sensor the 50D delivers a fair amount of detail.

Ken Rockwell has posted a review of the Canon G10.
The G10 is the best compact digital camera I’ve ever used. The gotcha words are “digital” and “compact.” Maddeningly, like all other compact (non-interchangable lens) cameras, the G10 still takes too darn long to adjust or change anything.

Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the Canon 50D.
The 50D is a solid performer, but didn’t outshine the alternatives. If you’re already a Canon user, possibly moving from entry- to mid-level SLRs, and with a lens or two already in your hands, then it could be a good choice for you.

Luminous Landscape has published a comparative review of the Nikon P6000 and Canon G10.
The net of this comparison is that while the Nikon P6000 is a fine little camera, it finds itself in the unfortunate position of being released at the same time as the Canon G10, which it would appear is an attempt by Canon to produce a full-featured pocket camera with the highest quality that they are capable of.
