1:20AM Danny Allen | Sure, basic stereoscopic images can be created using software to merge two slightly offset photos, but that only works for stationary subjects. For moving targets, there’s Fuji’s Finepix Real 3D W1, or this $US20 hack using two Canon PowerShot cameras. More »

Canon Digital ELPH SD970, SD960 SD780 and SD1200 Point-and-Shoots Look Pretty, Feel Nice

2:00PM Matt Buchanan | Most point-and-shoots have extremely similar feature sets now, whoever they’re from—smile, booger and blink detection; image stabilisation and other boingos you never use. So Canon’s choice to focus on look-and-feel stands out—and pays off. More »

Dealzmodo Hack: Juice Up Your Canon Digital Camera With CHDK

6:00AM John Herrman | Digital cameras are generally closed platforms, built and programmed under the assumption that they would never be modified. To get more features, you pay more for different firmware, even though the guts are mostly the same. Canon didn’t batten down their hatches quite enough.
