No news? (almost...)

I have been traveling the last two weeks, and returning this weekend I was somehow disappointed that no big Canon news had occurred while I was gone. I mean, at least rumor sites had expected a new camera (1Ds Mark IV) announced together with a new lens or two. But no such thing happened. All we got in this round was announcements of a few new printers and compacts, a firmware upgrade for the 5D Mark II and a small update of DPP and other Canon EOS software. The new 5D firmware is a bit interesting for 7D owners though. Through the firmware update Canon adds manual sound level control, increased audio sampling frequency and other improvements to the video part of 5D Mark II. If Canon can do it on 5DII, they can probably do it on 7D too. But do they want to?...

While I was gone Benoit Millot also sent Planet 7D the above nice video combining 7D footage with 3D animation. It is not completely new, so some might have seen it already. But if not, check it out in HD on Vimeo...
