So the Canon HF S11 video camera has been announced in the USA. With 64GB on-board memory it can record HD footage for up to 24 hours. Here is more info here, here and here.
Talking printer… give me a break
It looks like a kids radio and can complain when it is out of ink. Everyone else is really excited about it but we think it is just silly… more news from the sheep here, here, here and not here. Ok… so there are other printers in the new line up and the fix-it feature does sound quite handy though.
Everyone said it would happen eventually: cameras designed to take better images not create bigger files. The announcement of the 10MP Canon G11 with a lower resolution sensor that it’s predecessor (the Canon G10) means that it might have finally happened. Nikon probably started the ball rolling when it created the d700 with it’s incredibly low noise 12MP sensor. Now it is just up to consumers to catch on… more info at crunch gear.
Along with the G11 Canon have also announced a few touch screen powershots… more info hear, hear, hear and hear.
Monster SD cards (SDXC) announced: Toshiba has announced plans to be the first to ship the new SDXC memory cards starting with capacities of 64gb from Q2 2010. More info info on CNET.
Digital Photography School have some tips on night photography with a digital SLR. If you have a spare $22k (USD) you could consider getting one of these. If you already have a Canon 50d digital SLR Photography Bay have word of a firmware update to correct magenta casts in certain conditions. The very capable Canon PowerShot SX200 IS has been reviewed by Macworld and it seems they are quite smitten. Oh and there is another review of it here too.

Life hacker have a quick guide to going paperless. All fairly common sense and orientated towards US readers but still worth a look. Imaging Resource report that the Epson V500 document scanner has been announced. Maybe just the thing for a very small office or home office.
On a lighter note check out Gizmodo’s retro gadgets.
The Epson PX650 has been announced. Lots of coverage here, here and here. Trying to call a printer high definition is a bit ridiculous but the promise of better than lab quality prints sounds appealing. Also there is a video review of the Epson Stylus NX515 on Cnet.
Canon USA have announced new Pixma ink-jet and Selphy photo printers more info on their website. Duplex is something that is becoming more common on All-in-One ink-jet printers and the PIXMA MP560 is no exception with duplex and wireless as standard.
Photography Bay have revisited the rumour of the Canon 3D digital SLR. While on Photography Bay check out their post on how to maximise your digital camera’s battery life.
The Canon Pixma MP980 has been well received by ZDNet Australia, PC Mag and Photography Blog.
We recently added the Kyocera FS-6970DN to the Road Mogul catalogue. In a nutshell it is a networked, duplex, cheap to run, fast and expandable A3 work group printer. How cheap is it to run? It’s very cheap using just 0.88 cents worth of toner to print a typical A4 page.
With 37ppm A4 and 17ppm A3 print speeds it is very fast. In terms of expandability you can add up to 4 X 250 sheet paper trays so it is perfect for demanding offices. You can read the full specs on the attached brochure.

Announced earlier this year two of the new Epson EB-8 projectors have been added to our catalogue: Epson EB-824 and Epson EB-825. With impressive lamp life (6000 hours), brightness (3000 lumen) and features, the Epson EB-8 projector series are ideal multimedia projectors for business or education use. They include Epson’s 3LCD technology for brilliant image quality and natural colours.
There is a built in microphone port and speaker but don’t even think about using it for karaoke as it will void your warranty (joke).
USB connectivity allows direct connection of the Epson DC-06 document camera (visualiser) or a PC. Both the video signal and page up/page down buttons are sent via a single USB cable so the presentation can be controlled via the projector’s remote. The DC-06 is a much more affordable alternative to previous visualisation technologies and ideal for classrooms or small offices.
The Epson-EB825 includes WiFi and Ethernet allowing control and output presentations over the network. Epson’s multi screen display mode allows multiple networked projectors to be stitched together to create a seamless large presentation.
With exceptional brightness, lamp life and features these new projects are great value for money. Check our catalogue for more details.
