Canon has put up a teaser site at http://www.canon.com/moon/en/index.html. It appears to show a silhouette of a DSLR camera in the shadow of the Moon. Many seem to agree it will be the replacement for the aging 5D, but nobody seems to know for sure the exact model number. Read More…

Rumors have been floating around for quite a while. Now there is some evidence that the Nikon D90 is coming. Apparently someone (as reported by Engadget) has found the D90 in the UPC database.

I have not been able to keep the site updated for quite a while. I just had to take care of other priorities of my life. Things got settled down now so I hope I can find more time working on my photography hobby and this blog.
To my surprise, I am still getting quite steady count of visitors every day. Feedburner stats shows that I now have more subscribers than ever. Thank you for all your support!

Antonio Perez, CEO of Eastman Kodak, warned that Kodak is to raise its prices for digital cameras, printers and other consumer products by as much as 20% over the coming month because of soaring raw material costs. The entire industry would have to increase prices “without any doubt” as commodity costs would remain high for years owing to high demand in emerging economies. “Everyone has the same problem,” he said.
Without doubt, Kodak is in greater pressure than others since it is balance sheet is still in red. However this might still be happening. If so, the fancy digital camera that you have been drooling over may become suddenly more expensive soon. Another reason to convince yourself you need to buy it now?
