In digital age terms, I was a long term user and a big fan of the Canon EOS 5D Mk II’s predecessor, the 5D. I spent far too much time scouring Canon rumour websites looking at the speculative guesswork and supposed leaks from official sources about the Mk II before it had even been announced (maybe I should get a life!).

If you’ve heard lots about the two new digital SLR cameras from Canon and Nikon but have yet to see them for yourself then head down to our camera showroom in Norwich and check out the Canon EOS 500D and Nikon D5000.

Canon has released firmware updates for the Canon EOS 50D, 450D and 1000D digital SLRs. Firmware version 1.1.0 is for the Canon EOS 450D, version 1.0.6 for the 50D and 1.0.5 for the Canon 1000D.

The first of what will hopefully become an annual event, The Gadget Show Live occupied Hall 1 of the Birmingham NEC from 17th – 19th April. 

Canon have released details of their latest digital SLR, the Canon EOS 500D. This powerhouse DSLR brings full HD video (1080p) to an attractive price point in the market.

Canon have splashed into the underwater digital camera market with the addition of the Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera to their range. The announcement came as part of their recent spate of pre-PMA launches, which also included three other PowerShot’s, the SX200, A1100 and A2100, as well as a further four models for the IXUS range, the Canon IXUS 95, 100, 110 and 990 IS.

The two latest cameras in the Canon IXUS range look exactly as you expect them to. Cool, sophisticated… and actually quite exciting. The classic silver model is ever-present, but Canon have upped the stakes in the style-ometer, offering a sexy, glossy black and a glittering gold in the Canon IXUS 980 IS and Canon IXUS 870 IS respectively.

As the joint replacement to the PowerShot S5 IS, the Canon PowerShot SX1 and Canon PowerShot SX10 take to the stage as supercharged digital compact cameras raising the bar for compact technology.
Both cameras feature 10 megapixels and an enormous 20x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom, with USM (Ultrasonic Motor) and VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for fast, silent zooming.

The replacement to the good old G9 has arrived in the shape Canon PowerShot G10, the new flagship camera of the PowerShot series. The first G-series Canon digital compact to offer a 5x wide-angle zoom (28mm) with optical Image Stabiliser, the Canon G10 also offers a massive 14.7 megapixels and Canon’s new DiG!C 4 image processor. According to Canon, the PowerShot G10 gives you “the power to excel”.

The new Canon EF 24mm f1.4 L II USM lens sets out to achieve the gold standard for wide-angle prime lenses. As the amount of pixel-power available in our cameras continues to grow, great optics become essential to get top quality images. The release of this upgraded lens is superb timing from Canon, as the 20+ megapixel horizon becomes reality for more photographers thanks to the EOS 5D Mark II.
