Canon's EOS Rebel XS DSLR gets official, a price tag {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2008 1:09PM Can't seem to find anywhere that says the K200D has live view!
Canon's EOS Rebel XS DSLR gets official, a price tag {Engadget}
Jul 8th 2008 10:51AM Quite expensive for a low end DSLR. Just looking around Amazon for current low-end DSLRs:
Canon XS - $699 (little lower street price likely)
Nikon D60 - $629
Sony A200 - $499
Sony A300 - $599
Pentax K200D - $646
With only the Canon/Sony a300 having live view. I'm surprised that Sony is actually cheaper.
Nikon readying D90 for launch? {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2008 4:20PM Yeah the fact that there is a 'mode' button next to the shutter release, and a function dial with MASP modes on the left, pretty much gives it away that it isn't the real thing.

May 9th 2008 10:28PM Hah I just bought a Sony A700 from best buy for $800 :) Yeah I did get lucky, but still!
Phase One introduces elusive 645 medium format camera platform {Engadget}
Mar 19th 2008 9:49AM What speed vs performance? An quality? This is a medium format digital camera; pair it with its appropriate digital back and this is seriously a top-of-the-line camera. Forget your Canon 1Ds, this is above that, in the 30+ Mpix range. Also definitely not a sports camera, or that much of a hand-holdable camera, really for studio stuff.
Sometimes these types of camera come 'free' with your purchase of a digital back, which is well over $10k.
Nikon D60 gets reviewed, bests the D40x only just barely {Engadget}
Mar 3rd 2008 10:19AM Honestly the competition completely outspecs this camera at the same (if not cheaper) price. Canon XT and Sony A200 both give you better/more AF sensors, Sony gives you in-body anti-shake and a lens motor for older lenses. Olympus E-510 is also great in this class too.
Fujifilm's FinePix S100FS is their "most advanced" consumer model {Engadget}
Jan 24th 2008 9:32AM Does 'manual' zoom mean that the zoom ring is mechanically connected to the zooming system? Or is the zoom ring just an electrical knob and there is a zooming motor on the lens? I love the former (i.e. in SLRs), but the latter is just not the same (i.e. on a Canon PowerShot Pro), as it has a lot of lag when zooming.
Apple: 2 million copies of Leopard sold {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2007 9:26AM A service pack? What were you expecting, paying $130 for a new OS that runs way slower, eats way more resources, breaks many apps, and is even more annoying? Gee I wonder what this sounds like. Oh sorry, I meant $250.
And for real, Tiger got '10 service packs' since its release. XP got what, 2?
