Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
For the past few weeks, Canon USA has been regularly listing refurbished Canon 5D Mark II’s for $1999. They sell out pretty quick each time.
They’re back in stock now (here’s the link to the 5D Mark II page), along with solid deals on several other Canon bodies, including the Canon 60D for $799.
There are also a number of refurbished Speedlites and lenses available direct from Canon USA.
In the latest round of Canon DSLR and Printer rebates, it looks like Canon has sweetened the deal with instant cash back on PIXMA Pro 9000 and Pro 9500 printers. The end result after mail-in rebates is a total rebate of $500 on a $450 printer (the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II) or a $600 rebate on a $720 printer (the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II).
Essentially, a PIXMA Pro9000 costs negative-$50 and Pro9500 costs $120 when purchased with a qualifying Canon DSLR.
Qualifying cameras for the combo rebates include the following: [Read more…]

B&H has a killer deal right now on the Canon 60D for only $849.99, which is the best legit price I’ve seen. The 60D kit with 18-135mm lens also dropped by $150 off retail down to $1106.99.
Both deals include a special B&H bundle of Red Giant Software, which is made up of Magic Bullet Quick Looks 1.2, Magic Bullet Grinder, Magic Bullet PhotoLooks 1.5 and Knoll Light Factory for Photoshop. The Red Giant bundle alone would cost almost $500 to order direct from Red Giant.
The Canon 60D is prosumer DSLR with video capture prowess. It sports an 18MP APS-C format sensor and a swivel LCD. As the successor to the Canon 50D, it’s somewhat of a change in the natural progression of the xxD line of cameras. A smaller form-factor gives it a more Canon Rebel look and feel; however, the video features and articulating LCD display take it up to and beyond some of the capabilities of the Canon 7D and 5D Mark II.

For those Canon 60D owners out there looking for a cheaper battery grip, the Zeikos grip for the Canon 60D just arrived at B&H Photo.
While I haven’t tested the Zeikos grip with the Canon 60D, I compared the Zeikos and Canon grips for the 5D Mark II. There isn’t as much of a price disparity between the 60D grips as there was with the 5D Mark II grips; however, at $100, the Zeikos for the 60D is still almost half the price of the Canon version.
We’ve seen what the Canon 7D looks like at 2000fps. So, what about the Canon 60D?
In this video from CrumplePop, you see the 60D slowed down to 1000fps. [Read more…]
