Luminous Landscape published their impressions of the new Canon 5D which was announced a few days ago. Ken Rockwell has compared the spec list to that of the Canon 20D with some surprises!
Bob Atkins compares the 20D and 5D too. Some of the features of the 20D that are missing in the 5D ares ones I use – notably the built in flash and spot meter. Sometimes it’s just too much bother getting the 580ex out of the bag, and the on-board flash is sufficient!

Photography Meetup in Cork
Ryan wants to organise a meetup of photographers in Cork! Could be fun, but we might frighten the population of Cork if too many of us descend on Patrick Street at one time!
Canon IS Lenses – worth it?
Bob Atkins discusses Canon IS Lenses in this article. He asks is it worth the extra cost?
He also asks if it beats an L series lens which is all academic to me as I’m not going to be spending that much money on a single lens any time soon!
Lovely example shots showing the strengths of both types of lens.
I’m waiting on my Sigma 18-200, el cheapo, but “it’ll do the job” I hope!

Between You and Me – Canon 20D movie
Between You and Me is a short 4 minute film shot with a Canon 20D in continuous mode. That averages out to about 5 frames a second but the film is very well done and worth watching.
The way it was shot simply makes it all the more remarkable. (30MB Quicktime movie)
The Future of Photography as predicted in 1944
The future, as seen from 1941. They would certainly be surprised at the rate of change today, but one thing remains constant: technique and eye. If you can’t see a shot and be creative then you’re not going to make interesting images.
