Canon 7D Barbie Video Girl

This humorous comparison between the Canon 7D and Barbie Video Girl is from Brandon Bloch.

“The $1,800 Canon 7D versus the brand new $50 Barbie Video Girl… available in the girlie aisle of your local Toys R Us. It’s the sassiest camera money can buy.”

Nice work Brandon.

Sony Alpha Entry-Level DSLR w/ AVCHD

Word is out that Sony Europe has scheduled a press conference for September 13, 2010.  With the tease of DSLRs that capture AVCHD video earlier this year and recent rumors of the new A33, A55, A560 and A580 model numbers, this seems likely to be the drop date for the new AVCHD DSLRs from Sony.
