Olympus is bringing a new superzoom point and shoot camera to the table in the SP-590UZ.
We’ll have photos and more details once things become official. I expect this to be a CES release that should be happening very soon though.

2009 marks the 50th year that some version of a Canon SLR has been around. Take a walk down memory lane starting with the Canonflex above, which was released in 1959.
As you’ll see below, Canon launched the EOS 650 in 1987 as its first electronic mount SLR. When I read this press release, I had to go get my EOS 650 out of my file cabinet and gander at it for a few minutes. I’ve even got the original product brochure, which boasts “a super-fast autofocus system” – I kid you not. I am totally busting out the EOS 650 with a roll of film this weekend!
Happy Anniversary Canon!

Today, at Macworld, Apple announced iPhoto 2009, which offers a number of additional features to the popular Apple photo management and processing software. iPhoto 2009 is a part of the larger iLife 2009 software collection that includes programs like Garageband and iMovie.
iPhoto 2009 offers some innovative organization options, like organizing photos by faces. According to Apple, you select a few images with a given person and tag that person in the image. iPhoto then culls through your image library and suggests additional photos with that person in them. I find this feature to be quite compelling for those of you who have multiple kids that you are trying to keep track of.
I have a couple of kids myself, whose photos I place in a “Kid A” and “Kid B” folder. As you can imagine, there is plenty of overlap among the numerous photos and invariably the image of Kid A that I’m looking for is in the Kid B folder because Kid B is also in the photo. If this feature works as advertised, you Mac moms and dads out there are going to enjoy it.
There are a number of other features in iPhoto 2009 like GPS organization, themed slideshows, integrated online sharing through Facebook and Flickr, and enhancements to the editing tool. To get the full scoop on iPhoto 2009, visit www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/.
