Canon have announced a new digital SLR for their range, the EOS 500D. Sitting just above their 450D camera, the main new feature of the 500D is the inclusion of high-definition (HD) movie recording. Main features include:

• 15.1 mexapixel CMOS Sensor (1.6x)
• DiG!C 4 Image Processor
• Full HD Movie Recording
• Live View (with Face Detection)
• 3” LCD (high resolution)
• 100-3200 ISO (H1:6400, H2:12800)
• EOS Integrated Cleaning System

Since it's launch, the Nikon D90 has stolen the limelight based primarily on the HD movie feature, so we expect the 500D to be a welcome addition to the range for Canon enthusiasts.

The Canon 500D is expected to arrive during May and will be available in the standard kit

We are pleased to announce that we've added Kenko lens filters to our range. We're currently offering just the Pro1D Digital range in UV and circular polarizing filters, but we do have access to the full range. So, if there's a particular filter that you're interested in, please send us an email.

PLEASE NOTE: We have now sold the two units we had. Sorry if you missed out.

We have two of the original mk I version of the Canon EOS 5D to clear so we've dropped the price to just $1999.

Obviously, the EOS 5D Mk II is newer, has more features and is improved in a heap of areas, but it's also twice the price. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a brand new, full frame digital SLR for under $2000 - one that won't come around again for a while.

We really do have only 2 of these, so what are you waiting for? Please order now to avoid disappointment.

We're starting to hear rumours of additional price rises over the next 2-3 months. First to be hit is likely to be Tamron lenses, but it's unlikely that Tamron would make this move without some confidence that others will follow.

As ever, we'll try and keep you informed and provide as much notice as possible of any price rises.

To help clear the remaining stock of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ11 and DMC-TZ15 we've dropped thier prices.

The TZ11 is now available for just $399 and the TZ15 for just $499. Stock is limited, so place your orders now.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ11 - $399

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 - $499
