Most non-swiss will not understand it, but it is worth to watch the review and test footage they produced.

Canon did release on Aug, 20th the long awaited Canon EOS 40D and Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. You maybe wonder like myself what did happens to the Canon EOS 5D update? While we all wait for the official word from Canon I do read sometimes the speculation and rumors on northlight-images (A collection of information and links about Canon’s replacement for the EOS 5D).
