At Photokina today, Leica announced development of a radical new digital SLR system it calls the S-system. The company’s concept marries a larger digital sensor and a 35mm-style SLR body to make “a camera that would give the quality of medium format and the handling and flexibility of 35mm,” according to Leica UK’s David Bell.

UK-based Professional Photographer says the body is somewhere between a Canon EOS 5D and EOS 1D in size. But the camera features a Kodak-developed, 37 megapixel sensor that measures 30 x 45mm. A standard 35mm frame measures 24 x 36mm, while many digital SLRs use a APS-C size of approximately 16 x 24mm. The larger size is comparable to some digital backs designed for medium-format camera bodies.

Leica has a prototype of a model it’s calling the S2, and the lens system will include nine different lenses at launch. The camera features a dual shutter system, pairing a focal-plane shutter with an in-lens leaf shutter for some lenses, which allows for high flash sync speeds. It also has a high-precision, single-point autofocusing system, and uses Leica’s Maestro image processing system, which is supposed to deliver double the speed of comparable medium-format backs.
“We started from scratch,” Leica’s product manager Maike Harberts told British Journal of Photography. “All the components that define the quality of the image were designed for each other. We began with a large-format CCD sensor and literally configured the camera around it, rather than adapting existing technologies.” Though the working prototype is being displayed at Photokina, the camera isn’t expected to be available until next summer. No pricing information is available but, given Leica’s reputation for high-end prices, expect the camera and lenses to sell for more than pro Nikon or Canon gear.

You think your 300mm lens is long enough? Think again. For extreme shots, you need extreme equipment. How about a 1540mm lens?

The Orion SkyView Pro 127 (SVP 127 among friends) is really a 5 inch astronomical telescope, featuring a Maksutov-Cassegrain design similar to that used in Nikon’s own reflex (mirror) lenses.

I primarily got the SVP 127 as an astronomical instrument, but the eyepiece holder accepts a standard T-ring adapter for prime-focus photography, effectively making the telescope work like any other lens.

CALL 2009 THE YEAR of convergence, the point at which each frame produced by a movie camera came to have more resolution than any photo in this magazine. Red Digital Cinema, started in 2006 by Oakley Eyewear founder Jim Jannard, is set to release two breakthrough digicams, the Scarlet and the Epic, later this year. The new devices will change the way everything from feature films to action sports to nature shows are shot.

Both the Scarlet and Epic are small—three pounds, and no bigger than a home video recorder—yet the high-end Epic model makes movies with better resolution than a 200-plus-pound Imax film camera, while the consumer-level Scarlet is nearly as good as the cameras used to shoot Hollywood features. And both cost a fraction of their competition, from $3,000 for the base-model Scarlet up to $53,000 for the Imax-beating Epic. If you’re used to shopping for digital still cameras by megapixels—a good one now gets 10 to 20—consider that the Epic shoots up to 260. That’s not an incremental shift; it’s like releasing the iPhone in 1980.

So for those who is still looking where to find the cheapest Canon 50D camera just stay tune with this blog and we shall update you with the current news!

According to Canon Japan Internal the EOS 50D comes in spring, 2009, exactly on the 05th April, 2009, worldwide presented for the PMA 09 in Wellington, New Zealand. Canon Japan makes this deliberate, because a narrow connection of Japan by New Zealand exists. 50D will have 12 chips MPix of 450D, she offers ISO values to 3200 really as well as by (known) trick to ISO 6400, 3-inch monitor and is sealed even stronger than 40D. It is placed between 5D MKII and 450D (which is removed shortly after from 500D). There will not be 3000D, by the way, because Canon it for holds not possibly to offer a reasonable new-developed DSLR in the prize segment less than 450D (which will cost till then for about 400 € as a set). However, the 50D will have otherwise an as big resemblance to 40D like it had 30D with 20D. The next real generation jump (signal processor, sensor etc.) comes with 60D, presumably in fall 2010. The two-digit remain, in any case, an APS C cameras. The thought is interesting that Canon develops a “3D”, the body of 1D has reminded, indeed, rather of the features (MP, speed) of 5D MkII. This 3D closes that (also in price) gap between 5D MkII (approx. $ 3500,-) and 1d MkIII (approx. $ 4500,-). Then the line-up looks like: 450D (500D), 50D, 5DMkII, 3D, 1DMkIII, 1DsMkIII. Suitably to the 50D (in the set) there comes a successor of the USM IS 17-85, the USM IS 16-105. In addition, Canon works on a megazoom lens (as it were to a successor of the 28-300 L), however, nothing has still trickled through precise. And an USM 1.4/35 should complement the L 1.4/35 USM as a “Mainstream-Prime”.

In case you don’t know, Pc World had come up with their DSLR camera Ranking and We at Best-Digital-Camera.net Happily would like to share with you that 5 top camera on year 2008. We will update this list from time to time so that you can have at least short overview and information about which camera you should buy.

1. Olympus EVolt E-510 — PC World Rating: 87 (Very Good)

Though the Olympus EVolt’s many features might make it a bit daunting to some prospective users, the E-510 is a solid, adaptable camera that takes very good pictures under most conditions. Even with the new 40mm-to-150mm telephoto zoom lens, you won’t feel weighed down.
2. Canon EOS 40D — PC World Rating: 86 (Very Good)

The feature-packed Canon EOS 40D produces great images. Its price puts it within reach of photo enthusiasts and professionals alike. If you’re graduating from a Rebel-series digital SLR, this is a great step-up model whose versatility will grow along with you. And if you’re an advanced shooter looking for something smaller and less costly than Canon’s top-tier cameras (the 1D and 5D series), the 40D is perfect.

3. Olympus E3 — PC World Rating: 86 (Very Good)

The big, heavy, rugged Olympus E3 has extensive advanced controls, fast burst-shooting speed, and a quick autofocus. But you’ll need plenty of arm strength to lug this baby once you’ve added a lens to the camera body. Check Latest Prices

4. Nikon D300 — PC World Rating: 85 (Very Good)

The Nikon D300 is not a camera to pick up and run with. Its high resolution, exceptional flexibility, and excellent exposure accuracy make the effort of working through a longish learning stage worthwhile. The D300 should fare well against its two strongest competitors, Sony’s Alpha 700 and Olympus’s E3.

5. Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 — PC World Rating: 85 (Very Good)

With its sharp, 12-megapixel imaging and with more exposure controls than most photographers will likely ever use, the beefy and finely designed Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 rises to nearly professional-level photography, making it well worth its $1900 price tag. Its main limitation is its relatively narrow range of available lenses and accessories.

Finally Canon made their way by producing another state of the art DSLR camera. The Canon EOS 1000D another upgrade of the previous model of Canon EOS 450D.

The 1000D is designed to fit into Canon’s model range beneath the 450D, which explains much of why the 450D was such a step up from its predecessor, the 400D. In many respects, the 1000D is still a step up from that model, with remarkably few compromises made to keep the costs down.

Here’s a comparison of the headline specifications, showing how the 1000D lines up alongside its big brother (the 450D), and the camera they replace (the 400D). As can be seen, with only a few significant exceptions, the 1000D’s specification exceeds that of the 400D.
