The Canon Show:

Canon just remined the Nikon and Sony who’s daddy! Announced today, the Pro1 Powershot again demonstrates Canon’s leadership in the field of digital cameras.

Like the Nikon Coolpix 8700 and Sony F828, the Pro1 Powershot sports a 2/3” 8MP sensor, but is likely to best the other two given Canon’s track record for producing lower noise images. The Canon might only offer up to 200mm zoom where the Nikon does 280mm, but it goes as wide as 28mm whereas the Nikon is a mere 35mm; on top of which, the Canon lens is faster, uses as USM motor, and is L-series glass! The F828 does offer a mechanically linked zoom ring (the Pro1 is zoom by wire), but it doesn’t have the flip out LCD of the Canon.

Canon really does seem to be setting the pace in the marketplace, don’t they?

Homosexuality is not ‘normal.’ On the contrary, it is a challenge to the norm; therein rests its eternally revolutionary character. Note I do not call it a challenge to the idea of the norm. Queer theorists - that wizened crew of flimflamming free-loaders - have tried to take the poststructuralist tack of claiming that there is no norm, since everything is relative and contingent. This is the kind of silly bind that word-obsessed people get into when they are deaf, dumb, and blind to the outside world. Nature exists, whether academics like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single, relentless rule. That is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction. Penis fits vagina: no fancy linguistic game - playing can change that basic fact. However, my libertarian view, here as in regard to abortion, is that we have not only the right, but the obligation to defy nature’s tyranny. The highest human identity consists precisely in such assertions of freedom against material limitation. by online casino
