  • No D60 at Nikon, only a D40

    After the rumour of the D60 digital single lens reflex camera from Nikon, it appears that the name was wrong. and we start to know a little more.

    Sometimes, I like to browse what is appearing in the ads. Today, I noticed that the announcement of the new Digital SLR from Canon, the 40D replacement for the 20D/30D line, is driving prices down for the 30D. If you want a good price, you can check by yourself, but I found the following offers…

  • Canon EOS 40D

    Here is a scoop again for digital single lens reflex cameras (D-SLR). Canon, after announcing its 400D (follower of the successful 350D) starts renovating the upper market segment. The EOS 30D seriously needed to freshen up a bit in view of the competition, this is what comes with the 40D. 10 mega-pixels (instead of 8MP)…
