Not to be outdone by the Canon 5D Mark II USB flash drive, there’s now a replica of a Sony A900 as a USB flash drive. MICgadget.com says they will set you back about $29 USD in China for 4GB of storage, but I haven’t found any retailers that’ll ship these to the US yet.
Let us know in the comments if you find these for sale.
(UPDATE: Tracked down, and available here for $19. Thanks Phil.)

More Canon 60D specs have trickled out of the rumor mill. Canon Rumors received a tip regarding a closed-doors presentation of a pre-production 60D, which included an 18MP sensor (as found in the Canon 7D and Rebel T2i), a tilt display on the rear, and an overall “video optimized” theme to the new DSLR.
Of course, there’s no hard confirmation, but CR says that this source(s) has produced reliable info in the past. Hopefully, we’ll know more soon.

Word is out that Sony Europe has scheduled a press conference for September 13, 2010. With the tease of DSLRs that capture AVCHD video earlier this year and recent rumors of the new A33, A55, A560 and A580 model numbers, this seems likely to be the drop date for the new AVCHD DSLRs from Sony.

Earlier this week, I passed along the refurbished Nikon P100 that B&H is selling for $299. Well, B&H just tipped me on several other Nikon refurb deals that they’ve got going on right now, including a Nikon D90, L110 and even and F100 35mm SLR.

The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers is a new book from Scott Kelby that takes a photographer’s approach to Photoshop CS5. The new book “includes a special bonus chapter with his own CS5 workflow, from start to finish, and each chapter ends with a Photoshop Killer Tips section, packed with time-saving, job-saving tips that make all the difference.”
Kelby’s book for Photoshop CS was the first book that I ever bought for Photoshop, and it really helped me get off the ground with the rather intimidating software. If you are a photographer struggling with Photoshop CS5 (or any version for that matter), you could do a lot worse than picking up a book penned by Kelby.
The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers carries a retail price of $54.99; however, it is available now for $34.64 on Amazon.com.
