Bring out the big guns!

So Canon had some big announcements out today.  They have announced the release of a new camera body the Rebel XSi (AKA 450D)

From Canon:

“the cameras that defined and refined what it means to be an “entry level” digital SLR – have now redefined the gateway prowess and “pro-ness” of the DSLR category with the introduction of the line’s new leader, the 12.2-megapixel EOS Rebel XSi camera. Incorporating a number of high-end functions and technology found in Canon’s professional SLR models, the EOS Rebel XSi camera boasts an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor. When paired with any of the more than 60 compatible Canon EF and EF-S lenses…”

It also has many other cool new features that the Mark IIIs have you can check ou thte full specs here.

But the big news that I haven’t seen too any people talk about today is the release of the 2 new pieces of glass the 200f2 and the 800f5.6.  I know Canon has made mention of them in the past but now they are saying that the 200 will be out in April with the 800 shortly behind.  Suffice to say PhotoSanta needs to send me a 200f2.  You can check out the info the the 2 lenses here.

I can’t wait to try these out
