The reviews are coming...
I stopped by Bob Atkins site to read his first look review of the Canon EOS Rebel XSI ( 450D ) and kit lens. Nothing unexpected in his appraisal of the camera and typical kudos and complaints about the kit lens. Still waiting for the exhaustive beat down from the guys at DP Review, who are, I hear thru the grapevine, getting ready to post the full monty on the XSI.
If your wondering why there is so much excitement about this Pro-Sumer camera, then you probably have your head up you - know - where. The reality is, that today's pro-sumer, off - the - shelf at Best Buy DSLR, has twice the features, file size and image quality of yesterday's pro model cameras and at 1/3rd the price!
Don't let equipment snobbery stop you from buying a great camera. With all the money you'll have left over, you can purchase better glass and be ahead of the game in the long haul.

Radio Poppers Arriving...
The Radio Poppers are coming!
For the lucky folks who pre-ordered Radio Poppers P1's, shipping has begun! Time to see what real world testing will reveal.
David at the Strobist website has put them thru their paces with excellent results. Glad to see Kevin King succeed with his new product where so many others have failed.
Check out this unboxing Video , ( compliments of VIMEO ) from Zeke at nicephotomag.com
Samsung / Pentax Full Frame DSLR
Photo courtesy Samsung USARumors abound...
Samsung is definitely not trying to squash the rumors of a full frame pro DSLR in the works with
partner Pentax Corp. Can't wait to hear more about this!
Read more about it on the electronista website.

Back For More Punishment...
Time to blog!
I have been pretty busy working on a new website, but I'm ready to hit the ground running. It seems that I have finally made it to Google page cache status. New readers are finding older posts and page views are soaring. Guess it's not the time to run out of steam just yet!
I'll be getting back to a new schedule and a shrunk down, less busy, re-designed header! Maybe an explosion of random color and 50 -100 ridiculous animated gifs...each with a talking wav file. How about 50 cartoon robots telling you that you have just won an IPOD NANO!
Just kidding!
PS. Lets not forget to mention Canon cameras, Canon Lenses and Canon Rebel XSI at the bottom of each post ( doubles my page views !). Yes....pathetic, but effective.

Rebel XSi Available in Canada Now!!!
Rebel XSi being shipped now!
Kerrisdale Camera ( 2170 W 41 Ave at Yew St ) in Van Couver BC has received in store and quickly sold one Canon 450 D (Rebel Xsi) body only to a lucky customer posting on the DP Review website. I called the store and verified that the poster was telling the truth. Speculation that the Aussies are getting sporadic shipments with surprise Rebel Xsi's is coming in on the net.
I expect that Best Buy stores in the US will be receiving a handfull in the next week or so.
