EISA AWARDS FOR CANON
Among the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) awards for 2009-2010 are the EOS 5D Mark II (European Advanced Camera) and EOS 500D (European SLR camera). The judges commented: "The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is a worthy successor of the EOS 5D. The principle features remain the same: a full-frame sensor in a relatively compact body, but Canon has added extra professional features such as sealing against the ingress of dust and moisture and functions like Live View, sensor cleaning and a 1080p HD-movie mode. Despite the increased resolution of 21 million pixels, Canon has been able to reduce noise levels to below those of the 5D, which is a great achievement." "The Canon EOS 500D is an excellent DSLR for both novices and advanced amateur photographers alike. The camera provides extra versatility via its good Live View system, and the large and high resolution LCD monitor. The camera's image quality is excellent and noise is well controlled even at high ISO settings. The quality of the HD video mode is so impressive that it might provoke the beginning of a new movie-making hobby for some users." Full details of the awards are available here.
EOS 7D MOVIE
One of the first movies to be shot with the EOS 7D - 'Another Night in Beijing' - is available here. It was shot by Dan Chung, who recorded one of the first videos shot with the EOS 5D Mark II.

URGENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
My name is DON CARLOS NAVARRO; I am an auditor and the director of operation Amrex Seguridad Spain. I know this letter will come to you as a surprise but I want you to understand that my contacting you is divine because I want us to do this business deal together. I got your contact from international brochure and decided to contact you for this simple business deal considering the fact that your assistance will help in the actualisation of this great business deal. I am contacting you concerning a fund valued of 5,000.000.00 (Five Million Euros) deposited with our affiliate Vault Storage Ware House by our late esteemed customer and contractor residing in Iraq. He moved this money from Iraq to Spain for investment and deposited the fund in our affiliate Vault Storage Ware House. I will contact you when I receive a response from you concerning your willingness to work with me in this project. He went back to Iraq to bring his entire family to Spain from Iraq but he died in a bomb blast with his entire family. Since I got the information about the bomb blast and the death of our customer, I felt bad because from my adequate investigation I gathered that all his family members were involved in the bomb blast there by living nobody to claim the above mentioned fund. Based on this I contacted you to act as the relative and next of kin to our late esteemed customer. I will give you full information's and necessary documents of the fund which you will use to contact the bank here and apply for the release of the fund to you as the relative and next of kin to the deceased customer. This business is risk free but demands high confidentiality; nobody will suspect you since i will give you the information of the fund which you will prove to our affiliate bank that you are related to the late depositor. Your country of origin does not have any problem with this project because people reside and nationalise in any country of ones choice. Upon the successful release and transfer of this fund to your account we will share the money 60% for me and one of my co-worker who is aware of this letter and 40% for you and also be rest assured that we will claim this money successfully without any problem because I am in the financial system here and I know what is obtainable. Finally, be mindful that nobody here knows that I contacted you for this business deal. To this effect you should please keep this letter confidential whether you are interested or not because if any body here discovers that I gave you this information I will definitely lose my job and enter into a big problem. The reason I decided to embark on this project is that this money will be transferred into the government's treasury as unclaimed money if no relative of the late depositor request for the release of the money as the next of kin. This is in line with the Spanish financial regulatory policy. You should signify your interest to do this business by contacting me on my private Email. carlosnavavaro@yahoo.com. This business deal will not last more than 14 working days if you signify your interest to work with me to actualize this golden opportunity.
I anticipate your swift and immediate response. SINCERELY YOURS, DON CARLOS NAVARO
