Meerkats - Better at Acting in Nature Shows than Photography
Ian Turner is a zookeeper at Longleat Safari Park. He is also rather forgetful. After taking some pictures of his meerkats for a new zoo brochure, he left his Canon EOS in their enclosure. Apparently the alpha male, Monty, secretly harbors a gadget obsession, and jumped at the chance to snap a few shots of his family for posterity. Have a look at his sub-par photos below.

Video Grope, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III
Here at IFA, we got our grubby, bar stamp-stained mitts on Canon's wicked EOS-1Ds Mark III. It's sporting a full-frame 21.1MP sensor that gave Jesus and I, as Ad aptly put it, "little techno woodies." More »
Canon EOS 40D Fires 6.5 Frames Per Second at 10.1MP
Just as Amazon did/didn't announce yesterday, Canon has also released the ultra-fast, 6.5 frames-per-second—on 75 JPEG/17 RAW bursts—10.1 megapixel model, the Canon EOS 40D. With new, faster autofocus and its latest CMOS sensor, the 40D also adds live framing using its full 3-inch LCD screen, something which previously was only available on the EOS-1D Mk III. Picture of its back controls, price and full official specs after the jump.

Amazon Spills Full Details on Canon EOS 40D DSLR
Further information on Canon's hotly anticipated EOS 40D DSLR has appeared on an Amazon pre-order page. They say it'll be released on September 20 with a $1299.99 price tag for the body, $300 less than the Best Buy leak suggested, though that now seems to be for the lens kit. They also spilled the alleged detailed specs, posted in full after the jump. [Update: It looks like Amazon pulled the page.] More »

Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Pricing Leaked?
Precious little information is available about the upcoming Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR, successor to the Canon EOS 30D and probably destined to be a favorite among prosumers everywhere. Unless this is a fake, some dope at Best Buy might have accidentally leaked a little tidbit of information that indicates the camera's pricing to be $1599.99. We're guessing that must be the price for the body only. Take a look at that stocking, pricing and availability info on the allegedly leaked photo above. If it's fo' reals, looks like we might be seeing it on September 2. There were also a few unconfirmed specs mentioned on the same site where we found this pic as well.

That's what is reported to be a 40D, the successor to Canon's 30D prosumer flagship. The highlights of improvement appear to be a live view LCD, boosting the MP rating from 8.2 to 12 or 13, and Small RAW image format. Sounds fanciful, especially as we've heard all sorts of other numbers out there for MP ratings in the past. Either way, I love the 30D, so I'm excited for the successor. And I can't wait for the official news, whatever specs that will bring. [Northlight Images]Canon EOS 5D Mark II Gets Spotted Bigfoot Style
Found in the depths of some German forum, a DPreview member says these pictures are for the yet-to-be-announced Canon EOS 5D Mark II. No real details to this camera other than the fact that it's going to replace the 5D (obviously). See the back after the jump, but don't expect a "make me a professional photographer" button or anything.

Canon EOS 40D Rumors Run Rampant
Anticipation of a new Canon digital SLR has reached a fever pitch, as Canon's Hong Kong site accidentally-on-purpose titled a blank page "EOS 40D" (see mockup of the camera above). Competition is fierce in this market segment, with Canon feeling the heat from the Nikon D80 and D40, and it's high time Canon released a new model. More »

Gizmodo Frankenreview: Canon 400D Rebel XTi
The EOS 400D Rebel XTi is Canon's latest addition to the sub-$1,000 dSLR camera market. Technical improvements include an impressive 10.1 megapixels, 9-point autofocus, 3 frame-per-second image capture and 27-frame bursts. Add a self-cleaning image sensor, and the XTi looks like one hell of a camera.

Canon EOS 40D Details Leaked: 10.1 Megapixels
Leaked details about the latest model—the 40D—are making the rounds. The Canon EOS 40D is predicted to sport a 10.1-megapixel image sensor, a 2.5-inch display and some sort of anti-dust feature. For the most part, thats all that's been leaked thus far (even this picture is a mock-up), but it wouldn't take much to assume that it'll cost about as much as the current 30D, or about $1,300.
