Patience is a virtue . . .

Sorry guys, another technical photography entry here, still haven't been able to get over this fever I'm currently experiencing and so I can't get myself down to my home office to my image library database. Here's a bit of good news though.

Some of you know I've been trying to stick to the mantra of "if it ain't broken, don't upgrade" which is why I'm still shooting with a Canon 30D (since then they released a 40D and a 50D after that) with my back-up body being the old 350D (yup, there's a 400D and a 450D now). I've been trying to figure out how I can break my old 30D so I can upgrade to a 50D but common sense has stopped me from taking foolish measures and it looks like it has paid off.

Canon announced their new entry level camera, the Rebel T1i (that's the same grade as my 350D) and it's looking great. Has all the features I'm looking for, a 50D sensor, Digic 4, self cleaning sensor, high ISO settings. Of course I'll wait for the initial reviews but if all the stuff they announced works like it should then that's my next camera.

Oh yes, they'll also have HD video capability which was previously only available in Canon's 5D model, a model I couldn't afford. Read the full press release on Canon's Website here.

To replace 30D? In a matter of months they might release the 60D.
