This is a best digital camera for a newbie photography hobbyist like me. The design of this digital camera is compact and not so bulky like the other more professional canon eos series. Its much lighter, however comes with a small grip.
Here are some of the features of this digital camera;
- 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved microlens array, fill factor and lower noise
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
- Nine point Auto Focus sensor (same as EOS 30D) with F2.8 support
- Continuous shooting burst up to 27 JPEG and 10 RAW images
- Single large, bright, 2.5" LCD monitor with 160° viewing angles (horizontal and vertical)
- Camera settings and adjustment on LCD monitor
- Proximity sensor below viewfinder eyepiece to disable the LCD during composition
- New viewfinder view includes 9 AF points as well as EOS 30D style status bar
- Picture Styles, larger range of image parameter adjustment (same as EOS 30D)
- Improved user interface
- Image magnification available in record review
- Histogram available as brightness (Luminance) or RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
- Three settings for long exposure noise reduction (adds Auto option)
- Auto rotation with three options (not recorded, record don't rotate, record and rotate)
- Additional custom functions (magnified view in record review, LCD display at power on)
- Up to 9999 images per folder on storage card
- Automatic storage of setting adjustments (no longer requires a press of the SET button)
- Improved print / share / direct print features
- And its cheap.
I know some of the stuff in the feature list you have never heard before but trust me when I say this is one cool digital camera. I am making plans to get it however going through the process of decided the glasses (lenses), extra batteries, and all the other stuff is irritating. Its going to cost me around RM8,000 - RM10,000 to get the complete set.
I wonder why I need to spend that much on a camera. On the other hand I think its time for me to take this photography stuff more seriously. I am waiting because I am hoping for the prices to come down a little.

I know a lot of you are interested in knowing how to make money from the internet. Let me make this clear here, its not easy money. You really have to work to get the income. I know most of you don’t know internet marketing and have very little knowledge in the technical part of this business. Don’t worry I have here few tips on how to make money online even if you don’t know internet marketing.
Freelance Writing
If you can write articles and books. If you are good in your English then I suggest you look into www.elance.com This site is for freelance writers. If there is an internet marketer looking for some content on his site he will go to this site and hire a freelancer to write for him. The articles is about 500 - 800 words and will usually fetch $5 - $8 each. The internet marketers will ask a freelancer to write 10 – 20 articles at one time. That’s already around $80(RM300 something). To make a real income you need to secure around 10 – 15 article writing jobs on elance.
Another way is to write ebooks. I got my first ebook written on elance.com and I paid the lady who wrote the book $600 for it. Its was only 60 pages long and took her a week to write it. Just imagine securing 3 or 4 of these kinds of projects. You’ll get around $2400 (RM8000 something) in a month. So if you are a good writer, look into this option.
Creating Videos.
This is a fun option. Places like youtube and other video sharing sites are beginning to share their revenues with video uploaders. If you upload an interesting video and get many people viewing the video then you get paid a fraction of the revenue generated from the video.
The fun part comes in because you can do the really silly videos and make money with it. Try this out it looks really promising.
Selling Photographs online
Here is the secret of photographers. You can sell your photographs online. If you have a fair amount of photography skills then head down to www.istockphoto.com and upload your photos there. I am not sure about how the revenue is shared but it is a worth while option to look into.
Remember that your photos don’t need to be really good. However you need to upload good quality photos. These photos are used for various reasons and being aware of your target market will be beneficial. Go for the web designers since they need photo’s for the sites they are working on.
Don’t ever send your family photo’s and hope to make money from it. Trust me no body wants to buy your family photos.
I’ve listed a few options here but there are so much more you can do online and you don’t even need to know all these internet marketing stuff. Just spend some time looking at some opportunities over the net and you will be surprise how there is online.
