The much anticipated Canon EOS 50D has been revealed today with an October street date.  This 15.1MP digital SLR is built for the “pro-sumer”, those not happy with the typical point-and-click but without a professional’s budget.  The Canon EOS 50D includes a 3.0-inch, smudge resistant Clear View LCD providing plenty of space for on-board editing.  Add face recognition software and image correction systems and you can skip the photoshop step before you print.  If you want an upgrade over that tired point-and-click, this one will be ready in October…

CES 2008 hype includes the buzz on Canon’s new line of tape-free High-Def camcorders like the Vixia HF10 Dual Flash Memory recorder. The Vixia HF10 gives you the option to record to the internal flash drive or an external SDHC card. No tape transport means one of the biggest problems with owning a camcorder is done away with; the tape transport system that gets dirty or worn out and eventually eats your tapes. If we could just get Canon to make one that runs on solar power so we can dispense with the battery-changing issue, shooting video would be almost hassle-free.
