LittleJon: "...with 17mm f2.8 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens and EVF: $1100" Sorry to be pedantic, but the 17mm isn't a zoom. That's why it's called "17mm" and not "17... more »

Canon 7D Review
For a long time with Canon, if you weren't dropping nearly three grand on a 5D, you were stuck with a vastly lesser DSLR. The $1700 7D is Canon's first semi-pro DSLR, and actually it's my favorite yet. More »

Olympus E-P2 Micro Four Thirds Camera Announced Tonight?
Now we've got what might be specs and the first look at Olympus's EP-2, supposedly announced tonight. It's decidedly less drool-inducing than the EP-1, and still doesn't have flash, but just look at that periscope-huge viewfinder. Updated. More »

Canon S90 Review: It'll Never Leave My Pocket (Except When I'm Taking Pictures)

Canon 5D Mark II Firmware Update Unlocks 1080p Video at 24FPS
Everybody complaining in the 1D Mark IV comment thread that there won't be any more video firmware updates for the 5D Mark II is kinda wrong: Canon is enabling the 24fps and 25fps 1080p video recording that's found on the 7D and 1D Mark IV, bringing it about up to par. Update's due sometime next year, though no firmware switcheroo's gonna deliver the 1DMkIV's low-light sensitivity. [Planet 5D via Canon Rumors]

A Japanese Engineer's Crazy Dream for a Camera, Exploded

Sigma DP1s Brings Back the Classic Huge Sensor in a Little Camera
Sigma's got the DP2 burning up retinas, so we're not entirely sure why they're reheating the older DP1 in the form of the DP1s. It's got the same Foveon X3 sensor, but pulls some features from the DP2. Exciting. [DPReview]
