Samsung Announces Wireless Dongle For All Cameras
Fancy sending your pictures wirelessly to your laptop? Is the Canon or Nikon unit too expensive? Does your camera not have that capability? Well, hold onto your hats folks as Samsung has announced its got a new piece of kit out called the “NaBee” (which apparently means butterfly in Korean). With this two dongle set, it will apparently connect to any digital camera with a USB port and send pictures wirelessly to your PC. Alas no mention if it’ll work with a Mac though.
“Samsung’s NaBee allows for a simple, high-speed wireless communication between a digital still camera and PC. Plug the miniature dongle into the camera USB connector, and its matching dongle into the PC and it connects just like a standard USB cable. NaBee will be available from all major catalog and online resellers, as well as selected retail outlets in December 2008.”

The New Canon G10
Visa Pour L’Image in Perpignan was at one time the place where you would see the largest number of Leica rangefinders in one place; it was the camera most photojournalists had hanging off their shoulders or around their necks. This year however, the one camera everyone had was the Canon G9.
Well, its been replaced by the G10. At long last this has 28mm on the wide end, and zooms to 140mm. The body design looks even sturdier and now has a dial for exposure compensation, and a better grip. The sensor is 14.7 Megapixels and produces more shadow area detail.

Canon Announce 5D MkII
Canon today announced the new 5D MkII. Two things which caught me by surprise are the 21.1 Megapixel sensor (I thought it would be in the 16 Megapixel range) and a very welcome 1080 full HD video recording mode (with an input for an external microphone).
The original Canon 5D revolutionised digital photography by offering a compact body with a full frame sensor which produced stunning results, even in low light. They seem to have taken this formula and added what we all hoped for to it. The new camera has a faster drive, a new focusing system and is weather sealed.
Press Release:

The EOS 5D Mark II sets new presidents for image quality, high ISO performance and operation for the most demanding user and added enhanced functionality.
