EOS 60D, is it just a rumors?

Canon probably is not quite happy with the sales of the 50D, plus with the success of NIKON D300 yearly sales, is the new EOS 60D which will have similar auto focus system with 1D is just a rumors? This are the rumors from what I've just read on CanonRumors.com, surprisingly they even have the EOS 60D specification listed..

Check out the released date record :
10D was released on Feb 2003
20D was released on Aug 2004
30D was released on Feb 2006
40D was released on Aug 2007
50D was released on Aug 2008
60D ??

till we all wait by this september or end of August.. or maybe it's just a rumors after all.

Product Review : Phottix BP-450 Battery Grip

Yes! As what the title says.. recently I purchased online one set of Phottix Battery Grip for my EOS Digital Rebel XTI.. Hooorayyy!!!

This was my second purchased items from Shashinki.com, since Phottix Battery Grip is so hard to find in almost every local camera shop here in Kota Kinabalu, so I decided to purchase it online at reasonable fair price of RM275. The process is quite fast since the product shipped to your mailing address within 24 hours.



What will you get?
- 1 x Vertical grip
- 1 x Battery Magazine for 2pcs LP-E5 storage
- 1 x Battery Magazine for 6pcs AA Battery storage

The vertical grip comes with AE lock button, AF point selection button, aperture button, ON/OFF switch button, DC cord hole for AC adapter kit (ACK-E5) and hand strap mount. Phootix BP-450 Battery Grip is one good option for a third party accessories built for Canon, if you have deep pocket + looking for more genuine product you can also purchase the original Battery Grip BG-E5 for Canon which will cost you around RM525
