2009 has been a pretty amazing year for the discerning gadget lover. From Microsoft finally fixing the disaster that was Vista with Windows 7, to the surge of Android handsets, DSLRs that shoot HD video and the arrival of some pretty decent video on demand services, 2009 has had plenty to keep a gadget writer busy. Here are my favourite gadget moments over the past 12 months:
You should watch this video for two reasons. One, it’s gorgeous, filmed on the Canon 5D/7D dSLRs at 1080p. Two, it gives you a peek outside George Lucas’s famed workshop, like a more romantic, landscape-focused version of Cribs.
Boy, have zombies made a comeback lately, right along with teenage vampires. Regardless, indie zombie flick Dead Season is the self-proclaimed first film shooting on the $US1700 Canon 7D. (Warning, gore ahead.)
In continuous mode, Canon’s 7D DSLR sometimes carries over ghost images from the previous shot, which sounds kinda cool but probably isn’t cool at all to serious photogs. Canon should offer a fix via firmware upgrade soon. [Cameratown via Crunchgear]
