I’ve been updating some of the shop listings on my site this mroning, and was surprised to find one shop already listing the Nikon D3100 and D95.  Although the D3100 seems almost a certainty following some leaks, the rumours of the D95 are not so firm.  Obviously I won’t add a live listing until the […]

Three new Sony digital SLRs have been announced. The Sony Alpha 850 is full frame and 24.6 Megapixel.  Impressive spec, and they say it will be available at a “compelling price” – but I’ve not seen what the UK price will actually be.  Read the press release here.  It should be with us in September. The Alpha […]

Nikon have announced two new digital SLRs. The D300s appears to be an upgrade of […]

This is a strange one:  you can currently buy the Canon EOS 500D lens  kit (with the 18-55mm lens) for less than the 500D body at Warehouse Express.  The lens kit is £695 wherease the body only 500D is £719.  This values the EF-S 18-55mm IS lens at -£24, even though they sell the lens on its […]

Jessops have informed me that they will have stock of the Canon EOS 500D available on Monday 20th April.   Presumably other shops will be getting stock sh0rtly.  This has slightly caught me out, as I was expecting it to be released a little later.  I’ve started the listing for it today:  the Canon EOS 500D Body […]
