Something is Going On: Canon EOS 60D Price Drop ($599)

This is the first price drop by an important US seller, that’s B&H: the Canon EOS 60D body only is on sale for $599 (click here), with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS Lens, and a Ruggard Commando 35 DSLR Shoulder Bag and a SanDisk 16GB SDHC Memory Card Ultra Class 10 UHS-I for $899 (click here).

Has this something to do with the rumor about the EOS 8D and EOS 70D? The EOS 70D may be announced in a few days.

HDR Video Captured In Real Time From A Canon EOS 60D (Magic Lantern)

Are there limits to the exploits made available by Magic Lantern and the coding skills of gifted hackers? After all the news of the last weeks and since we learned that even an EOS 50D (here on eBay), a camera that didn’t sport video capabilities, has been enabled to shot RAW footage thanks to the Magic Lantern hack, I thought there would be some rest. Nope.

Tao Ai, University of Toronto grad student, used a Canon EOS 60D with the Magic Lantern hack onboard, a video processing board with a field programmable gate array, and some pieces of code he wrote to capture the HDR feed produced by the 60D. The feed was then run through the video processing board to produce the final footage seen on the screen in the video above. The results is a HDR video feed at 480p and 60fps.

Everything is obviously very experimental, but it shows what can be done, which possibilities are hidden in Canon’s DSLR hardware, and – last but not least – what a skilled programmer can do (and I mean both the ML hackers and Tao Ai).
