Hang off from buying a Canon 5D for a while

There are some huge rebates coming to clear the old Canon 5D stocks.

Canon have told their sales departments to clear out as much of the older generation stock to get ready for the "Revolution / Evolution" series.

That means all but grey market remaining stocks of 30D, 40D, 400D, 450D, G7 and 1DSMkII have to be cleared.

Canon wants the shelves cleared by next March.

Internal politics are getting a bit heavy over at Canon with engineers talking about shifting to Nikon or Sony.

Canon want their revolution range of products sitting on the shelves and being marketed at the right end of the market.

The move is to make the cash out of the L series of lenses for the pro products and the new range of EF-S lenses about to be marketed all of which will have image stabilization.

Keywording and stockphoto submission tools

If you click on the story title above, you will get taken to ProStockMaster.

This has to be the ultimate tool for any stock photographer.

Not only will the tool organise and keyword your photos, it will automatically submit them to all your stock photo agencies.

So no longer do you have to sit there and arrange an upload, ProStockMaster does the whole thing for you, while you are asleep, or at work.

Now you can focus on your photography, and get rid of the angst that goes with submitting to sites, I love it.

PS. Let's keep this a secret, otherwise everyone will do it.
