On the bright side, we still have our Canon EOS 1D Mark IV preview and comparison table vs the EOS 1D Mark III for you to check out.

There’s also a bunch of Nikon, Olympus and Panasonic cameras we have yet to review (I wouldn’t call it backlog, but just a lot of testing and shooting to do). So… ummm… yeah, what camera reviews would you like to see next?

Canon Event Live Coverage
3:45 am GMT – DPInterface is proud to present our first ever live event coverage to our readers. Today, we’ll be covering a VERY important Canon event. So… keep checking back as our Canon event live coverage begins NOW!
4:10 am GMT – The doors have opened! I heard something is happening at 5 am =)
4:30 am GMT – Still waiting. I’m writing from my Windows Mobile phone by the way, since there’s no open WiFi network for my netbook. Have yet to setup tethering.
5:00 am GMT – Canon 1D Mark 4 official! Check out the dedicated post about it here (complete with specs and all).
6:00 am GMT – Canon gives the green light for testing out the camera. Sample photos (pre-production) and preview coming later today!
That’s all for our live coverage of the Canon EOS 1D Mark 4 launch today folks! Hope you enjoyed it.
UPDATE: I apologize for the lack of pictures here (they’ll be posted later) since my phone isn’t the best thing (usability and performance wise) to post up pictures. I’ll be posting pictures of and from the EOS 1D Mark 4 later once I get a stable, good connection on my netbook.

Wacom recently updated their Bamboo line of consumer tablets. These new tablets feature multi-touch operation and allows input from both fingers and pens. Aimed at consumers who have more ‘digital lifestyles’, I also think that photographers and artists will be especially overjoyed by the fact that Wacom’s new Bamboo tablets (which include the Bamboo Pen, Bamboo Touch, Bamboo Fun and Bamboo Craft) are affordably priced, feature upgraded pressure sensitivity and can be operated using fingers for ‘leisure moments’ when you’re taking a break from Adobe Illustrator. Expect to see Wacom’s new Bamboo’s on store shelves soon.

Details available at Wacom’s official sites www.wacom.com / www.wacom-asia.com / www.wacom-europe.com

I recently had the opportunity to attend Panasonic’s Lumix Star Search event, which also turned out to be a surprise launch of their new Lumix camera.

Hey, it’s time again for DPInterface’s “Request a review” for readers! We’ve got 2 months till Thanksgiving and 3 months till Christmas (holidays, yay!) – what cameras would you like to see reviewed on DPInterface? I already know that everyone wants to see the Canon PowerShot G11 review… anything else? Leave a comment on this post!

*Note: I’ve temporarily ‘eased’ the comment system for this weekend so you can post a comment with just your name (email address is optional) to make it quick and easy for everyone to send in camera review requests!

Update from Brad: Keep those requests coming! It doesn’t matter if someone has already requested a camera review, send in yours – the more requests I get for a camera, the higher its priority will be! I’ll be working closely (hounding, rather) camera companies over the next few months for those cameras so I can their reviews out ASAP, in time for holiday shopping.

Notice something different about the site today? Here’s why – the DPInterface 3.5 design is finally up! You’ll notice that the site now looks sleeker (a lot easier on the eyes!), runs faster and easier to navigate. The changes here aren’t radical, merely hybridizing our previous two designs (versions 2 and 3) into one neat looking piece of work.

There are a couple of things that still need some tweaking over the weekend, but phew, am I glad that 90% of the redesign work is done! Well, why not head over to the comments section (click on the post title) and tell me what you think about DPInterface’s new design.

P.S. Look out for more camera reviews from us soon!

Update (August 23): Our next review will be published early tomorrow (Monday) morning. So stay tuned for that!

Yes, the reaction to yesterday’s new Canon camera announcements was HUGE and the excitement still continues. My e-mail inbox was, and continues to be flooded with questions about the Canon G11 and requests for a writeup or full review of the Canon PowerShot G11! Yes, the demand is that crazy!

Unfortunately, the Canon PowerShot G11 is due for store shelves only later in fall 09 (at the moment, October is Canon’s plan). No one, not even other camera review websites (or even Canon themselves, probably) has a full retail/production unit of the Canon PowerShot G11 right now. In fact, I do find it a bit odd that people are already asking for reviews of a 12-hour old camera!

HOWEVER, I’ll be keeping you guys updated and right now, this camera is at the top of my priority list for review. So be sure to bookmark DPInterface.com (or follow us on Twitter), so you can read the Canon PowerShot G11 review in its full glory… the moment I get my hands on a production camera.
