Canon Fall Triple Rebates, Where are you?

I've been reading from numerous message boards that the Canon Fall rebates are coming soon! The rumor is that October 15th is the magic date. I will stay tuned and see what happens...

On the Shopping List:

40d
580exII
85mm f/1.8

and maybe some other glass.... either way I will be broke.

Another Blow To Nikon...

Canon just announced that they are releasing the 1DMKIII soon. Along with a few other accessories.

Boo!

Why does Nikon always gotta be so slow?

I may have to return my d80 for some canon love. :(

Epson's New PictureMate 4x6 Printers

After playing around with some 4x6 Printers I have come to the realization that Epson's PictureMate Flash is the BEST 4x6 printer on the market. PERIOD. I've had the opportunity to play with Canons, HPs, Kodaks, and Lexmarks and none of these printers have a chance against Epson's new line. Epson wins in pretty much all catagories: speed (45 seconds), image quality, fade resistance, water resistance, functions, and ease of use.

The PictureMate Flash retails for $299.99 and comes with a built-in CD-RW which gives you the ability to save all your images on to a CD if you wish to do so. The price may seem to be a little steep but the quality is well worth it. If $299.99 is way out of your budget, the PictureMate Snap is the next best thing. The PictureMate Snap retails for $199.99 and is identical to the PictureMate Flash minus the CD-RW. Supplies for these units cost 34.99 and 39.99 for 100 and 150 prints respectively.

Canon Rebel 400d (XTi) Review is out

From DPreview.com

Dpreview.com's Review of Canon's 400d Rebel XTI

The reviewer only gives the Canon Rebel Xti a higher value (8.5 vs 8.0) in image quality but stated, "...they [Nikon] also managed to close the image quality gap to a degree where the differences are as good as irrelevant."

It is probably a more relavent comparison between the Nikon D80 and Canon 30d. More to come as I decide on which DSLR is for me.
