<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0809/nikon_50_sm.gif" width="100" height="99" hspace="8" align="right"">]]>Pre-Photokina 2008: Nikon has today announced a new standard prime lens, the AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4G.

There are a few downsampled images on his site but perhaps of more interest to many is the fact that Vincent is planning to publish a video produced using the 5D Mark II, we&apos;ll update this article once it&apos;s live.</description>

All samples are provided as JPEG straight from the camera (we don&apos;t currently have any RAW conversion software which supports the EOS 5D Mark II). Enjoy!</description>

Phil has dragged himself out of the server room, dusted himself off and has had the entire dpreview staff furiously scouring the spec tables and delving through the menus to help get behind those headlines. And here is the result - our hands-on preview of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.</description>

A letter from SanDisk&apos;s Chairman and CEO to Samsung says the board considers the offer from the World&apos;s second-largest chip maker to undervalue its business. SanDisk announced, on September 5th, it had held talks with Samsung but described the latest offer as &apos;unsolicited&apos; and &apos;opportunistically timed.&apos; The offer would value the California, US-headquartered flash card maker at $5.8bn and would help Samsung reduce the technology licence fees it currently pays to SanDisk.</description>

The SX1 IS is particularly interesting as it is the first PowerShot to feature a Canon CMOS sensor, which allows the camera to offer 4.0 fps (full resolution) continuous shooting and true 1080p HDTV movie capture at 30fps. UPDATE: While we haven&apos;t heard this officially from Canon it does appear that the new CMOS SX1 IS won&apos;t be available in North America.</description>

<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/images/panasonic_dmcg1.gif" width="120" height="91" hspace="8" align="right"">]]>Pre-Photokina: Panasonic has unveiled what it is calling the World&amp;rsquo;s First Full-time Live View Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera - the Lumix DMC-G1. Utilizing the Micro Four Thirds standard announced last month, the G1 drops the mirror / prism optical viewfinder that has been standard in SLR cameras for over half a century in favor of a newly developed high resolution electronic viewfinder. Squeezed into the diminutive body are a new 12MP Four Thirds Live MOS sensor with SSWF, new processor (Venus Engine HD) and a comprehensive combination of DLSR and compact camera features (though surprisingly, no movie mode). We&apos;ve had a prototype G1 in the office for a week or so and have produced a detailed hands-on preview to whet your appetite whilst we wait for reviewable sample.</description>

Featuring the 24.6 MP CMOS sensor announced in January, the Alpha 900 offers several enticing features, including sensor-shift image stabilization, a super 100% coverage viewfinder and the same high resolution screen as the Alpha 700 (the new model also inherits most of the 700&apos;s features, menus and external controls). We&apos;ve had an Alpha 900 for a few days now, just enough time to produce a detailed hands-on preview and a quick gallery of sample images.</description>
