Canon Mistakenly Announces 11-Megapixel Digital Camera

Posted by timothy on from the lots-of-pixels dept.

RichardtheSmith writes " PC Magazine just confirmed that Canon mistakenly announced a new 11-Megapixel digital camera that wasn't supposed to be announced for another two weeks. This caused quite a stir on the digital photography message boards like DPReview, where Canon apparently tried to have all links to the press release taken down. The PC Magazine article is here. The original press release can be found here."

    Spend $200 on an IDE RAID device and do RAID-0. You can pair it with any side drive -- I've got a 120 meg mirror going right now.

    Great unless my house burns down. But then, having conventional pics wouldn't help in that case, either.

    Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
