Canon has released a firmware update for the Rebel XS / 1000D.
Firmware Version 1.0.6 incorporates the following changes.
1. Some cameras may exhibit a phenomenon in which the LCD monitor does not display, the shutter does not release, and the busy indication remains lit in the viewfinder.
2. The message, “Err 99 Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to <OFF> and <ON> again or re-install the battery”, appears on the camera’s LCD monitor, and after the above operation is carried out, the LCD monitor displays in a language that is different from the actual language setting.
To learn more and download Firmware Version 1.0.6, visit Canon’s website.

The Think Tank Rotation 360 camera backpack is a pretty amazing contraption. It’s a new take on the camera backpack concept. We’ve seen sling bags and other variations on the backpack.

Interesting in shaking things up in your photography? How about shaking things up by using a single, 50mm lens for a year?
That’s what Project 10-50 is all about – “making pictures of the year 2010 with the use of 50mm prime lenses only.”
It doesn’t matter the brand of your camera or the model of your lens – so long as it’s 50mm in length. And, we’re big fans of the 50mm lenses.
Here’s the pitch from the Project 10-50 crew to you:
We’ve just started a new initiative: Project 10-50.
It’s all about photographing with nothing but 50mm prime lenses – one year long: 2010 (hence 10-50 …).
Any brand camera or lens will do – as long as it’s a 50mm prime only. Besides beautiful stunning pictures we’re looking for something to learn from eachother as well. So every picture posted has to contain the EXIF data and if possible ‘the story’ behind it. We want to read how people had to ‘work’ to ‘make’ the picture instead of just ‘taking’ it with a comfortable super-dooper-zoom lens.
The word is starting to spread already and people are starting to join.
Will you help us making it a little bigger too?
