Now the EOS 1Ds Mk3 has started to be held in stock and possibly some pressure from the Nikon D3, it’s price has dropped by over £1,000. Warehouse Express now lists it at £4,899 but they can’t shrink it’s physical size. I’d like to see a smaller full-frame Pro camera, the same kind of size as a 40D - a 5D Mk2 with 100% viewfinder and better weather sealing.
It’s also curious that Andy Rouse’s…

I recently decided to update my Netgear DG834PN router. Previously I’ve performed this over the wireless network link and it has always work perfectly. Still, there’s a first time for everything and this time it failed. 
The process just didn’t complete and after an hour (it’s only taken a few minutes before) I turned it off and back on. The result was a router which alternatively flashed the power on and self test leds…

I’ve now taken about 3,000 shots with my Canon 40D and overall it’s a good camera. The dust removal system is great, but it’s not perfect.

It states that they intend to roll out a series of upgrades to the current M8, which can be applied to customers current M8s.…

Sigma have released further information on the DP-1, stating that it will be released later this year and DPReview have even managed to publish a gallery of images taken with a Beta model.
This gallery includes a single 800 ISO image and it’s not bad. Certainly there’s not that much noise apparent and detail seems reasonably good, even in the corners. It’s difficult to gleam much from these images though as it’s not the finished product…

Well, PMA 2008 has now ended - all those hoping for Canon’s much rumoured 5D Mk2 or indeed any other small full-frame camera have been left disappointed.
What has been interesting is the change in the DSLR market at this show or rather the indication of changes to come this year. Canon have gone from having the only full-frame models and the highest resolution ‘Sports’ DSLR last year to suddenly being in an almost "catch-up" position.…
