Canon has announced that it will be unleashing the much-anticipated (and rather overdue) firmware update for its EOS 5D Mark II from mid-March, adding professional video capabilities to the fine dSLR.
First announced in late 2009, the new firmware version 2.0.3 enhances the EOS 5D Mark II’s video performance, offering full 1080p HD video recording at 24, 25 and 29.97fps to match PAL and NTSC broadcast standards.

Canon has taken the wraps off its latest consumer digital SLR, the EOS 550D ( Rebel T2i) which packs a hefty 18MP sensor and full HD movie recording, tucked up in Canon’s familiar camera styling.
Sporting a newly developed 18MP APS-C CMOS sensor, backed by Canon’s advanced DIGIC 4 image processor plus enhanced in-camera noise reduction for low light shooting, Canon are hoping that this camera will make a splash in the highly competitive consumer dSLR market.

Coming in at third place in our Best High End Compact 2009 awards is Canon’s sleek and bijou Powershot S90 digicam.
Considerably smaller than its chunkier and more expensive brother, the Canon G11, the S90 serves up a very similar prosumer-orientated feature set, offering program AE, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual modes – as well as the ability to shoot RAW files for the best image quality.

Aimed at ’serious’ users, we’ve always liked Canon’s Powershot G range of cameras, with their rugged looks, no-nonsense black lines and full feature set.

Canon have announced their new EOS-1D Mark IV professional dSLR camera boasting a spec sheet to make pro snappers swoon.
