Looks like Canon psyched us out about the whole number “four” thing and they won’t be skipping it. The company has now made the EOS-1D Mark IV official. So what’s new with this model?

Well, there’s a 16.1 megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor, ISO range of 100 to 12,800 native, up to 102,400, 45-point area customizable autofocus with 39 high-precision cross-type focusing points, dual Digic 4 processors, 1080p HD video, as well as an optional WFT-E2 IIA wireless file transmitter for connectivity over 802.11a/b/g and ethernet.

The rumor is that the Canon EOS 1D Mark V will be announced tomorrow to coincide with Canon’s 50th SLR anniversary. Some unconfirmed specs include: 16 Megapixel APS-H sensor, 12fps burst, 1080p 24,25,30,60fps video and 19 auto-focus points.

They skipped the IV model due to the Japanese viewing it as an unlucky number. The Mark V is unofficially predicted to cost roughly $5,000 and would ship by late November.

For a long time the most important feature that was lacking form DSLR cameras in all price ranges was the ability to record video. Last year that all began to change with several high-end DSLR cameras launching that offered the ability to record HD video, including the Nikon D90.

Today Canon announced a new entry-level DSLR called the Canon Rebel T1i DSLR that is capable of recording full HD video directly to class 6 or faster SD and SDHC memory cards. Video recorded with the camera can be in 720p 30 fps or 1080p at 20 fps. Standard def video can be recorded as well.

The Canon PowerShot D10 is rugged. It’s a 12-megapixel point-and-shoot that is waterproof up to 33 feet, freeze proof to 14 degrees, and you can even drop it from four feet and it will live on. As far as looks, it kind of the reminds us of the iMac.

Another cool feature is that if the blue color doesn’t suit you, you can snap on other colors, including a camo skin. The D10’s design will cost you $329.99.

With the popularity of digital cameras still soaring new models are added all the time. With each new generation of digital cameras they get higher resolution, more features and become easier to use. Digital cameras today know when to release the shutter to be sure that you get your subject with eyes open and a smile on their face. Canon has announced its new line of digital cameras packing these features and more.

Among the new cameras added to the line are the PowerShot SX1 IS, SX200 IS, D10, SD970 IS, SD960 IS, SD 780 IS, SD 1200 IS, A2100 IS, A1100 IS, and A480 IS. There are far too many new cameras to go into detail on each one, but you can get the details at the link below.

Everyone today has a digital camera, even my kids have one. Digital cameras are great for taking pictures and showing them to people while you are out. However, if you want to share the digital photos away from home you need a small and compact printer as well.

Canon has introduced a new Selphy CP780 photo printer that fits the bill nicely. The printer has an optional battery pack that sells for $79.99 that lets you print anywhere. Canon offers three colors including blue, pink, and silver to match some of its new digital cameras.

There is a lot to like when it comes to all-in-one printers for the home or home office. Rather than having a printer, a fax, and a scanner you can get one device that costs you less and does all of the functions you need.

Canon has introduced a pair of new AIO printers called the Pixma MX860 and MX330. The two printers offer print, fax and scan capability. Both use the Super G3 fax system with the MX860 offering storage in memory for 250 faxes and the MX330 offers enough storage for 50 pages in memory.

Back when I had a real job I used to maintain the network, computers and printers in a large pharmacy. Someone was always breaking the laser printers and every time I had to mess with one, I ended up coated in black toner powder. The stuff was next to impossible to get off your clothes.

Canon has introduced a new printer that also uses clear toner, which I am sure would be easier to get out of your clothes. The printer using the clear toner is called the imagePRESS C1+. The printer is designed for the light production and proofing markets.

Canon’s Selphy CP770 portable printer will now come in a special and very pink Hello Kitty design starting November 1st. Everything else about this printer is the same as the vanilla version other than Hello Kitty being slapped all over it. Some features: 2.5’’ angled color TFT LCD display, Auto Image correction function, Auto Red-Eye correction, Wireless printing via IrDA, Multi-memory card reader. No word on pricing yet.

An estimated one in eight American women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s why Canon and tennis star Maria Sharapova have teamed up again to release a special canon bundle to fight breast cancer. The bundle includes the PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH camera in pink, a pink SELPHY CP760 Compact Photo Printer, pink ribbon charm and a mammogram reminder magnet from the American Cancer Society.

Canon is celebrating their 10-year involvement in the American Cancer Society, so throughout this month, Canon will donate $150,000 to the American Cancer Society. No word on price yet, but if you’re in the market for a pink camera and printer, it’s for a good cause. So why not.

Teens and tweens don’t normally want to use the same gadgets and electronics that their parents do. The younger crowd wants bright and colorful gear that is easy to use. More and more companies are starting to target this group of younger users with products specifically designed to grab their attention.

Canon announced several new cameras today and one of the new cameras is the PowerShot E1. Canon says that it designed the E1 specifically for the teen and tween age group. The E1 is available in blue, white, and pink colors and has a rounded design.

Over the last week some specifications and information has been popping up around the web about the Canon 50D DSLR camera. The images were met with welcome by some and as expected when things are leaked early — some called the camera a hoax.

Canon officially announced its EOS 50D DSLR camera today. The camera features a 15.1-megapixel sensor, and a host of other items to make using a DSLR easier for new users. The camera uses Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processor and has an expanded ISO range of ISO 100 to ISO 12800. Several dust reduction features are included.

There are as many different uses for a projector as there are projectors on the market. From really big screen gaming to multimedia presentations projectors are good for work and play. Canon has announced a new hella expensive projector it claims to be the world’s first WUXGA LCOS projector.

The REALiS WUX10 has a resolution of 1920 x 1200, normally that resolution is seen only on 24-inch LCDs. Canon says the projector delivers the highest resolution of any of its projectors. The LCOS panel used in the WUX10 is only 0.71-inches making it the world’s smallest LCOS panel to achieve 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Another new digital imaging related offering from Canon this week is a new inkjet photo printer which can print photos at up to 4800×1200. It is the Canon PIXMA iP2600 Photo Printer and price is set at around $50.

The Canon PIXMA iP2600 Photo Printer, besides offering print head technology which can do the 4800×1200 resolution, can print borderless 4- x 6-inch photos in 55 seconds. It can also print documents, presentations and Web pages at speeds up to 22 pages/minute (ppm) for monochrome, and up to 17 ppm for color.

Canon is introducing this week a new entry level digital SLR to its popular line of EOS Rebel digital cameras. It is called the Canon EOS Rebel XSi and pricing is set at around $800 for a body only kit and $900 for a lens kit which includes the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens.

The Rebel Xsi is a 12.2-megapixel shooter which Canon has dressed up with “an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor.” Canon has also newly designed this camera’s CMOS sensor.

The Canon EOS Rebel Xsi will be available in April. To get all the details on this new camera, check out the full press release after the jump.
