Navman Launching New ‘MY Series’ Range Of Satnavs

Gizmodo AU

Late last week, Navman grabbed a heap of Aussie tech journos, threw us into cars and had us play around with their new MY series range of satnavs while we were driven around Sydney. During the brief hands-on time we had, I can happily say that the new range works.

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

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.
