Windows 7 RC Released.

May 5th, 2009

This morning, Microsoft has released the much anticipated Release Candidate of the upcoming Windows 7 OS. From all that I have heard even the beta was much faster and more stable then Vista.

Given that the underlying driver technology *should* be the same. I don’t see why not get Windows 7 happy now. The RC will last through mid next year while the official release is slated this fall (09).

Get it here now.

UPDATE: Downloaded it. Will try to install it as a Virtual Machine on my iMac.

Canon announces the Rebel T1i DSLR.

March 25th, 2009

Canon has announced a new camera in the Rebel DSLR series, the Rebel T1i.

My first DSLR was a Rebel Xi, then Rebel XSi and XTi… I owned them all! I was quite happy with all of them. Then Nikon came out with a D90 with HD video, so I sold my Canon gear and lenses.

While I have nothing against Nikon, I am not sure if I like the D90. Somehow I think the pictures were nicer on the Canon. I can’t exactly tell what it was … camera or lens. I miss Canon.

Can this be the camera to bring me back?

  • 15.1 MP (crazy, stop this)
  • Up to 12,800 ISO (not a type-o)
  • Digic IV image processor
  • Nikon 50D quality

Read all about it.
