Tuesday, 14 April 2009 - Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-45G ED
DX lens Key Features:
Read more about the Nikkor 10-24mm lens here. EA Comments: This is a very useful focal range to have which was previously the domain of the Sigma and Tamron lens. Those who are a stickler for Nikkor lenses will no doubt be please to see this lens but its relatively high price may be an issue for some.
Tuesday, 14 April 2009 - Nikon announces the D5000
DSLR Key Features:
Read more about the Nikon D5000 here. EA Comments: The D5000 is certainly an interesting camera which will appeal to many looking to move up from a compact camera but want to retain the flexibility of live view. It is nice to see Nikon finally introducing an articulating LCD monitor (though its implementation looks a little different from what has gone before). I can see this one knocking heads with Canons 500D. I would expect higher end Nikon models to feature articulating LCD monitors as it becomes a standard feature on DSLRs. The D5000 like the D90 does not feature autofocus during video recording. If you are intending to do some serious movie making then the lack of AF will not be missed but it's a shame the facility is not available.

Canon Produced over 10 million consumer DSLRs “Canon remains at the forefront of this consumer market growth with a market share of 40 per cent in Europe (GfK WEU14 Jan~Dec 2008) which we account for our commitment to consumer demand and our passion for high-quality image,” said Rainer Fuehres, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging (CCI), Canon Europe. “We hope that the release of the EOS 500D will further strengthen our market position this year.” The increasing volume of consumer-orientated D-SLR models on the market has also driven an increase the volume of lens sales. Canon’s EF lens portfolio is now the world’s most extensive and popular range of D-SLR lenses, with over 60 models and 40 million sales worldwide. Canon recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of Canon SLR (single lens reflex) cameras, having launched the Canon Flex in May 1959. Over 50 million Canon SLRs have been sold worldwide and Canon SLR cameras are accepted as the benchmark standard for amateur and professional photography. Thursday, 2 April 2009 EA Comments: This looks like an impressive camcorder that could be popular with travellers and bloggers alike. With its small dimensions and light weight (230g) its sure to be taken everywhere rather than being left at home of in a hotel when the occasion calls for travelling light.

300D in 2003. Canon’s D-SLR products have achieved consecutive no.1 rankings
in GfK’s consumer hitlist since 2004. Starting with the Canon EOS 300D, the
market-leading spot was passed to the 350D in 2005, the EOS 400D in 2006 and
the EOS 450D in 2008 (GfK WEU14 Jan~Dec
for each respective year) and it is hoped
the trend will continue following the recent release of the EOS 500D.
