Canon announced a new flagship model to it’s line of cameras. It’s been a while since the 1D has gotten a revision.

The 1.3 crop factor camera is getting 1080p video recording and an incredible low light shooting mode. The ISO goes up to 102,400, that’s right 102,400. That’s about 100 times more than any previous Canon SLR camera.

Other new features include:

Dual Digic 4 processors allowing for continuous shooting at 10fps.

New 45 point AF system

And a whole bunch of other goodies.

Canon has developed a new image stabilization system that compensates for 2 types of shake. Both angle camera shake and shift camera shake will be compensated for. It will be released in a lens before the end of 2009.

Canon – Press Release

So, I finally got my new (old) camera yesterday. It’s a Canon Rebel G. Picked it up for about $30 on ebay (love that site), and another $30 for a lens (EF 35 – 80 f4). I decided that I wanted to shoot some film to see what the buzz is all about. I’ll be sure to post some pics after I finish my first roll, develop it, and figure out a way to scan the negatives.

I’ll also put up another picture later today after I get out of work.
