New Canon cameras

You know I'm a fan of Canon - well, not to say that other brands aren't good, it's just that I find all I need in Canon's cameras.

Anyway, even if there's no replacement for my great EOS 5D, Canon has now announced, among other things, a Powershot G9 compact camera. It's one of the few ones to have full manual control and RAW image setting. It'll probably be more expensive than the A710 IS (about to be replaced by a similar A720 IS) but both are really the best tool that you can get for the moment IF you need full manual control (which is, to my mind, mandatory).

Furthermore, the middle-range EOS 40D (replacing the 30D) has a lots a small features that are very well thought of: lens-cleaning system, live view, 3" screen and new buttons and settings. It'll be a great tool for the price. The next update within 12 months will probably be to put the same settings on a new 5D model (I'm not sure that I'll upgrade, though)
