Has your Canon EOS 5D mirror flipped out?
Not everyone's ready to chuck their old Canon EOS 5D in favor of the shiny new EOS 5D Mark II. So if you're afflicted with one of the rare instances in which the older model's mirror becomes detached, you'll be glad to know that Canon will fix it for free. How do you know if it's detached? It won't display an image in the viewfinder.
You speak and 'ShutterVoice' listens
Scott Forman may or may not be a Star Trek fan, but when I watch his ShutterVoice demo in action, all I can think of is Jean Luc Picard on the Enterprise, in his quarters, editing photos, with some Earl Grey and Macbeth at his side. Editing photos?!
ShutterVoice, created by Mr. Forman, is a Windows-only application that allows you to completely control Canon's EOS utility--which enables you to remotely operate your camera through the computer, strictly through voice command.

The 10 most cutting-edge products of 2008
This year still has several weeks left on the calendar, but it's not too early to look back at the past 10 months and evaluate how we've progressed on the consumer tech front.

As such, I've looked back at everything we've covered this year, and I've done my best to winnow down the list and come up with 10 products I think are at the cusp of... something. They may not be fully baked, and they may be overpriced, but they're at the forefront of their respective categories. Of course, I've surely missed some worthy products, so feel free to agree or disagree and add your own selections in the comments section below. … Read more
Canon posts teaser ad for new dSLR--most likely the EOS 5D Mark II
Rumors of a successor to the Canon 5D have been circulating for a while and now the digital-imaging blogsphere is churning again--this time with a brooding ad Canon has posted on some of its Web sites featuring the murky outline of mysterious dSLR and the phrase "Destined Evolution." Everybody thinks its the Canon 5D Mark II because it appears to lack a pop-up mount and has some design features that harken to Canon's other high-end EOS dSLRs.
A next-gen 5D--the current model retails for about $2,300 (body only)--has been a long time coming, and advanced … Read more

Canon this week has released a firmware update to its 12MP digital SLR, the EOS Rebel XSi, which became available in April 2008.
