If you’re interested in seeing some output from Canon’s 350D/Rebel XT, DPReview have just posted some. Nothing jumps out at me as being amazingly good, and there seems to be some issues with dynamic range. Then again, most of these were shot with what looks like some punishing sunlight…
Lexar launches digital photography site
Lexar have launched a new site, Digital Photography straplined “Professional Workflow to Drive Your Next Shoot”. DP includes sections featuring pro photogs, tips and tutorials, events and photo gallery.
More SD/USB integration
Joining Sandisk’s folding SD/USB card, Delkin have introduced a similar type of deal, with a removeable cap instead of a hinged one. Wonder if it’s possible to have a USB plug come out the back of a CF…?
Flickr tags
I’ve added my Flickr tags in the footer of the page – try ’em out, tell me about all the bugs!

A nice piece of Flickr APIing: the Colr Pickr.
Canon Wireless
Also from Ancient History
Rob Galbraith has a very interesting article by Eamon Hickey on the beginnings of the digital revolution in professional photojournalism: A look back at the NC2000.
More EOS 350D info
As is often the case with all things Canon, Bob Atkins has quite a detailed preview of the new EOS Rebel XT/350D including a pretty complete specs list.
New macro lens from Canon
Potentially interesting new macro from Canon, but EF-S only: Canon EF-S 60 mm F2.8 macro lens. DPReview reports.
Canon’s 300D follow up
Let’s Go Digital (or “LetsGoDigital”, as they call themselves…) have a piece about the follow up to Canon’s 300D/Digital Rebel: the Digital Rebel XT. This’ll be called the 350D in Europe and contrary to the seeming leaking of this item that I commented here previously, Canon has officially announced it. (Then again, maybe they announced it because it was leaked.) Anyway, it looks OK – many of the main gripes with the 300D are fixed (AI Servo, MLU, colour!) It also adds a near-instant on like the 20D and 8Mp – not the same sensor as the 20D, it seems.
Seems pretty good to me.
