DP Review has posted a review of the new Canon 18-200mm IS lens, which we’ve all be waiting to hear more about. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t receive the coveted “Highly Recommended” badge from DP Review. The reviewers were only able to “Recommend” the lens with reservations, noting that it’s “a general purpose solution which allows the photographer not to worry about fiddling around changing lenses when out traveling, but which makes inevitable optical compromises to achieve this goal.”

Cameras.co.uk has published a review of the Canon Powershot A2000 IS.
If picture quality and a bit of value for money is more important to you than digging deeper for a more stylish, pocket camera then the Powershot A2000 IS makes an excellent choice. The extra zoom offered by the 6x is a handy bonus.

There are only three certainties in life – death, taxes and rumors of new cameras. Hence the latest rumor of a Canon 1Ds Mark IV around the corner. Picked up on the photofans.cn forum via Slashgear.
Rumored specs include:
Also, rumors of two new lenses were included:
Credibility? Unknown.
This is a flyer on its own for now. Granted, the 5D Mark II really changes the picture for the current 1Ds Mark III, which is in some ways inferior to a camera that is about 1/3 of its price point.

What do you think?

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the new Canon 50D.
Considered on its own terms, the EOS 50D is a more than worthy addition to Canon’s semi-pro DSLR line-up. It boasts a significant number of refinements to a proven design that current EOS users will welcome, whilst adding enough features to catch-up with and in some ways surpass the Nikon D300.
