Weekend Gadgets: It’s All About The Kindle

4:45PM Nick Broughall | In the craziness that was Microsoft’s Windows 7 launch yesterday, I received a little delivery. As I tore open the box marked ‘Amazon’ with excitement, I was trying my best to contain my excitement. As the Kindle appeared, resplendent in its shiny cream plastic and brushed aluminium back, I allowed myself a grin, because I’ve been waiting for this frickin thing for too long. More »

Canon 500D Hands-On: 50D’s Sensor, 1080p Vids, $US899 (!!)

3:01PM John Mahoney | The rumours were true. Canon has crammed the $US1500 50D’s sensor and 5D-Mark-II-like 1080p video capture into an $US899 entry-level Rebel. We ran it through its paces for a few hours, and it’s awesome. AU: The local announcement came through as well – The 500D (as it’s known here) will launch in May, with all RRPs TBC. We’ll let you know more when we do. More »

12:30AM Mark Wilson | We thought that we already knew just how glorious that Canon’s $US2,699 EOS 5D Mark II would be, but the camera has one trick up its sleeve that’s more practical than another megapixel boost, or maybe even its ability to capture 1080p HD video. Seriously. The camera can keep track of up to six batteries in its internal database, managing which of them still have juice. More »

Canon’s Moonlit Teaser Advert Hints at EOS 5D Mark II in Highlights

6:46PM Kit Eaton | Moody, very moody, and quite serious: that’s how I’d label the new teaser from Canon that gives the merest hints of an upcoming “serious” EOS camera. Have a look at that bulky shoulder and the smooth curve over the pentaprism mount—classic high-end EOS right there: the apparent lack of pop-up flash is the give-away. Clearly it’s time for Canon to draw attention away from Nikon with its swanky new D90, but what’s it got ready for us under the “destined evolution” banner? Best guess so far is a 5D upgrade, but over to you in the comments, EOS fans. [Canon] More »
