First Look: Canon EOS-1D Mark III

The Canon EOS-1D Mark III is coming your way very soon and initial reviews are starting to appear on the web. If you like the sound of "...the image quality is the best we've seen from a digital SLR...", well, you've just found your next camera. Is an EOS-1Ds coming as well?

Apple Releases Eight-Core Mac Pro

The long tantalizing rumor of an eight-processor Mac (I think I recall such a rumor back in the DayStar upgrade days) has finally come to pass as Apple quietly surprised everyone and announced the 8-core Mac Pro with the Intel "Clovertown" dual four-core CPU option for an additional $1500. Not too shabby.

This announcement comes at a good time as the Adobe CS3 suite is shipping in a few weeks and the annual NAB convention happens at the same time. If Apple does indeed release an update to its Final Cut Pro video editing suite, it'll have MUCH to crow about in terms of a workstation speed demon that few competitors should be able to touch for a while. The week around April 20th just gets more and more exciting!
