"Photography Through The EOS Viewfinder" Seminar
One of the participant trying out the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV + Canon EF 100mm Macro IS

trying to show the linked shot with two camera...
Worldwide DSLR Market Share: Canon - 42.8%, Nikon - 37.5%... who say Canon is losing it's reputation? :p
Photographers... this is what you should aim for... try to achieve quality shots straight from camera to minimize usage of software to fix your photos...
THE BOSS!!!
Many thanks to Interhouse Brunei for inviting me to the seminar... hope to see more seminar in the future... cheers... :)

Canon announces firmware update for EOS 5D Mark II
Canon today pre-announces the release of a firmware update for the multiple award-winning EOS 5D Mark II. Originally announced in late 2009, the update adds 24* and 25 frames per second (fps) recording to the camera’s EOS MOVIE video function, and will be available as a free download from the middle of March.
Developed following feedback from photographers and cinematographers, Firmware 2.0.3 further enhances the EOS 5D Mark II’s excellent video performance. The addition of new frame rates expands the camera’s video potential, providing filmmakers with the ability to shoot 1080p Full HD footage at 24fps (actual 23.976fps) – the optimum frame rate for cinematic video. 25fps support at both 1920x1080 and 640x480 resolutions will allow users to film at the frame rate required for the PAL broadcast standard, while the new firmware will also change the 30fps option to the NTSC video standard of 29.97fps.
A new histogram display for shooting movies in manual exposure, shutter-priority (Tv) and aperture-priority (Av) have been added, and exposure modes will also be available in movie mode. Improved audio functionality will allow users to set sound record levels manually using a sound-level meter displayed on the LCD screen. The audio sampling frequency has also been increased from 44.1KHz to 48KHz, providing the optimum audio signal typically required for professional or broadcast material.
With its full frame CMOS sensor and compatibility with Canon’s wide range of premium lenses, the EOS 5D Mark II is already recognised for its outstanding HD video performance. Launched in September 2008, the camera immediately created a wide range of new possibilities for photographers and videographers, and the addition of new frame rates and manual audio levels extends those possibilities even further – allowing movie makers to shoot stunning movies to suit practically any creative purpose.
Extreme sports photographer Richard Walch was one of the first to be given the chance to use the newly updated EOS 5D Mark II to shoot the snowboarding movie “I Love My Friends”. Commenting on the EOS 5D Mark II’s video performance, Richard said: “The addition of the new frame rates opens up a whole new range of possibilities. If you’re a cinematographer, independent film maker or just enthusiastic about making your own movies, get out there and give it a try”.
“I Love My Friends” shot by Richard Walch on the EOS 5D Mark II with the new firmware includes a look behind the scenes video is available to view at http://www.canon-europe.com/eos5dmarkII.
The firmware will be available to download from mid-March from the Canon website http://www.canon.com/eos-d/
* Actual frame rate: 23.976fps

Ramsey surgery 'a success'
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has undergone successful surgery on a double break of his right leg, but the club cannot predict when he will return to action.
The 19-year-old was injured in a tackle from Stoke midfielder Ryan Shawcross in Saturday's 3-1 Premier League victory at the Britannia Stadium.
The Wales international went under the knife on Saturday night but it is still too early to speculate when the player might return.
A club statement read: "During yesterday's match against Stoke City, Aaron Ramsey sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. Yesterday evening he underwent surgery.
"The operation successfully reduced the fractures and whilst it is too soon to state an exact timescale for recovery, Aaron will certainly miss the remainder of this season.
"Our thoughts are with Aaron at this time and everyone at the club wishes him all the best in making as speedy a return to action as possible."
