+ "US Dept of Transportation responds to ACLU by telling us what we already know, photographing the exterior of federal building is perfectly legal."

+ Rob Galbraith breaks down the new Canon 7D. Isn't this sort of confusing to call it a 7D ? It isn't an improvement on the 5D but more of a 10D/20D/30D/40D/50D line so why not 60D (even though there was a D60).

+ It's official, The Orange County Register's parent company Freedom Communications filed for Chapter 11 on Tuesday.

+ Canon releases three new lens. The more interesting one is the EF 100mm f/2.8 L USM that uses a new technology Canon calls "Hybrid IS".

The new Hybrid IS system features up to four stops of correction of camera shake. Low friction ceramic balls support the lens elements to allow for smoother movements when correcting for camera during macro shooting, which requires very subtle corrections. SOURCE
