Unfortunately, their respective releases were hit with delays even before the natural disasters in Japan. Now, however, Canon has officially announced availability and pricing information for five new lenses slated to start clicking into EOS bodies in 2011. Here's a rundown:Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM: late July - $1,399Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM: late August - $6,599

Jill-e is a company that specializes in making camera bags that look nothing like the traditional, and often drab, satchels used for toting gear.

For all you 60D owners out there, Canon has just released a firmware update in the form of version 1.0.9—the update addresses 3 very minor issues. The first tweak only applies to the 60D’s released in Japan and changes the name of “Art Filters” to “Creative Filters,” to be consistent with 60D’s released in other markets.
