Canon captures your coffee in a 70-200mm telephoto lens
OK, not really, but Canon was indeed giving out these novelty coffee mugs — in the shape of an EF70-200mm f/4L USM lens — at the Winter Olympic’s press center, and here’s Microsoft’s Josh Weisberg (Director of Rich Media Group) showing off his swag to the whole world. Yes, we’re just a bit envious. So anyone got a spare Canon L-Series lens that we can tamper with? Or maybe that big-daddy Sigma lens if you’re game with sharing coffee?

Nikon D3s leaked by UK press, expected to ship December with impressive ISO range, £4,200 price tag
Impending Nikon announcements? You don’t have to tell the British Journal of Photography, who today published an article dated for tomorrow (oops!) all about its time with the as-of-yet unannounced D3s. So what can we glean from this report? For starters, standard ISO settings go as high as 12,800 (low is 200) and can be further boosted to an incredulous 102,400. The 12 megapixel DSLR also touts a 720p 24 frames per second HD video capture mode, and as far as price and release date are concerned, look for it this December, at least in the UK, for £4200 (about $6,685 in US). Nikon Rumors is expecting an official announcement from tonight, so perhaps we won’t be waiting too long — in the meantime, that site’s also hosting pics of the camera supposedly in the wild doing a photoshoot in Barcelona. Enjoy!

Canon introduces first Hybrid Image Stabilization lens: EF 100mm Macro
Well, that was swift. Just 1.5 months after Canon got our camera juices flowing with its Hybrid Image Stabilizer technology, along comes the very first lens to incorporate it. Quietly announced alongside two other vanilla lenses and its EOS 7D, the 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens is the first from the outfit to feature Hybrid IS. As you well know by now, said tech compensates for both angle and shift camera shake up to four shutter speed steps, and it’s fully compatible with all EOS cameras. As you can likely tell from the title, this one’s ideal for closeups and portrait-length telephoto shots, but you’ll be paying through the nose in order to get it in your arsenal. In other words, you’ll be parting with $1,049 come late September. Gotta pay for delectation, bub.

Sony Alpha 500 DSLR gets a hands-on
Sony’s announcement of the three Alpha line cameras just came today — but we’re already seeing plenty of them. Pocket Lint’s got a fairly extensive hands-on with the Alpha 500, which boasts an Exmor CMOS 12.3-megapixel sensor, an ISO range of up to 12,800, with a four frames per second continuous shooting. It also packs an HDR shooting mode, and an HDMI output. The Alpha 500 will be out in October, and it will run you $750. There’s one more shot after the break — hit the read link for the full set.

Canon EOS 7D image appears online, might be in Best Buy systems
Canon might have announced a slew of new compacts today, but we’re thinking the most exciting news might be this image of the legendary EOS 7D. That flash button would indicate the presence of a built-in flash, and those mic holes hint at video features, but apart from that we’ve got little else to go on — there are whispers that the Best Buy inventory system is listing the body at $2700 and the kit with an EF 28-135 lens at $2900, but we can’t verify those at the moment. We’re dying to find out more about this one, stay tuned.
[Thanks, manhog]

More Nikon D300s sightings in lead up to rumored July 30th announcement
Nikon’s D300s seems to be having a hard time staying out of the viewfinder of other cameras, as the DSLR has popped up both in a nondescript close-up shot and in the hands of the president of a Nikon distributor at a Nikon Club gather in the Philippines. Same observations as last time, from what we can tell it’s got the same body as the D300 but with holes that suggest a mic input below the logo, although we’ve seen hints of a SD card slot in previous leaks. As for when we’ll be seeing the official debut, Nikon Rumors has a pretty good track record when it comes to these things, and it’s reporting with near-absolute certainty that the company has lined up a press conference that’ll take place either July 29th in the UK or 30th in Stockholm, Sweden, and a second date for August 4th in Sweden. The first event is expected to be the unveiling for D300s and D3000 and the second some new point and shoots — or it could be the other way around. Either way, with any luck all these uncertainties will work themselves out by the end of next week at the latest.

Beware cheap Nikons on eBay: 22 stolen from NYC red light cameras
Hopefully you’re not the sort to risk things by gunning it when the light turns yellow, pushing your (and our) luck, saving yourself a few seconds on the race to the next intersection, and sneering red light cameras. Maybe if you knew the kind of hardware in there you’d have more respect: Nikon’s D2X digital SLR. We had no idea there were pro-level shooters in there, but a New York City couple certainly did, running around the city with a cherry picker and pilfering 22 of the things, all sold at pawn shops for a total of $88,000 $6,600 — money that was promptly spent to further their heroin habit. These two channel swimmers, 45-year-old Anthony Cintorrino and 29-year-old Tara LaBurt, got away with this for a full month before the authorities finally caught up with them. When they were approached they said they were with the DoT… then promptly started running. They didn’t get far. Crime doesn’t pay, folks, even if it’s for a sweet body like that.
Update: The cameras were worth $88,000, but the couple pawned them off for a measly $300 apiece, netting a total of under seven grand. That’s a crying shame.
