Canon just announced the 550D which seems to contain the same sensor as the Canon EOS 7D and the same filming options (24, 25, and 30 frames per second for 1080p. 50 or 60 frames per second for 720p). It loses a processor (down from 2) and reduced continuous shooting from the 7D but will come at a lower price point.
I think it’s great if you wanted the video options of the 7D but weren’t terribly comfortable with the initial price.
Want.
Yea Chanh, this is a steal of a deal. I just noticed it supports the SDXC format, which is ideal for filming video since it can handle up to 2TB cards! Although I’m not sure how SDXC compares speed wise to Compact Flash.
NO, PINCHY, NOT THE FACE NOOOOO!!!
“Nic Cage Phone Home” Just because I was bored today.
“Mancrunch” Gay Dating site ad that CBS has banned to be played during the Superbowl. Come on CBS, seriously? It’s not like they’re having sex in the ad! I think it’s tasteful, playful humor and I laughed my ass off.
If you’re outside the US like me, you can use this site to watch all of your favourite tv shows! Just like stupid Hulu does for Americans, it’s all streaming and up to date content.
“Tumbleweed Invasion” For some reason this video made my day! Those kids are just having so much fun this it should be illegal! Also, I’ve never seen anything like this EVER, it makes me want to say it’s fake, but it looks legit to me.
“Best Action scene of All Time”
If McGruber has an action scene like this, my life will be complete.
This should make for a lot of fun trips! Thanks to Dave for the link.
High Speed Rail Coming to the Northwest
The 467-mile long corridor connecting Eugene, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, Canada is the backbone of intercity passenger rail in the Pacific Northwest. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants will further enhance service on a corridor where Washington and Oregon have already made substantial investments. The long-term vision for the corridor is to have a dedicated high-speed track, where trains will operate at up to 150mph, with 13 daily round trips between Seattle and Portland. The region is taking a cost-effective, step-by-step approach towards achieving this vision, by focusing investments on projects that have immediate benefits, but which also lay the groundwork for the future.
Who else in Dtoid Portland thinks this is the best thing ever
It is the best thing ever, King! Now I can see the Dtoid crew at HIGH SPEED
