The a Ussie Map

Canon U.S.A., Inc.’s EOS Rebel series of digital single lens reflex cameras – the cameras that defined and refined what it means to be an “entry level” digital SLR – have now redefined the gateway prowess and “pro-ness” of the DSLR category with the introduction of the line’s new leader, the 12.2-megapixel EOS Rebel XSi camera. Incorporating a number of high-end functions and technology found in Canon’s professional SLR models, the EOS Rebel XSi camera boasts an improved autofocus sensor, enhanced 14-bit A/D conversion, an advanced Live View function, and the proprietary DIGIC III image processor.

When paired with any of the more than 60 compatible Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including optically image stabilized EF-S lenses like the EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS – now included in the EOS Rebel XSi kit – or the new EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS, the EOS Rebel XSi DSLR delivers images that will delight and inspire family and friends at an entry level price tag.

Positioned between the highly acclaimed EOS 400D and 40D, the new EOS 450D successfully establishes its position as the camera of choice for first time digital SLR camera buyers who are seeking more creative control than previously offered in entry-level digital SLRs.

“The EOS 450D is a high-quality, feature-packed digital SLR and is very easy to use”, said Chris Macleod, Product Manager, digital SLR, Canon Australia. “It’s also lightweight and compact, making it easy for people to enjoy creative photography.”

Key features:
12.2-megapixel CMOS Sensor (APS-C)
DiG!C III Image Processor with 14 bit colour (Canon Original)
3.5 frames per second with continuous shooting up to 53 shots in a single burst when shooting in JPEG
9-point Auto Focus
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Live View Mode with Auto Focus capabilities

With the lightest body of any digital EOS camera, the EOS 1000D incorporates a range of technologies used in Canon’s professional EOS-1 series cameras, including the DIGIC III image processor, and Live View mode. For straight-from-the-box shooting, the EOS 1000D is available with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS lens – which includes 4-stop image stabilisation, ensuring superb performance even in low-light conditions.

“The EOS 1000D is a small camera with a big idea: the supreme adaptability and image quality of the EOS system, in an accessible, affordable package,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “For anyone ready to take the next step in creative photography, it offers the perfect entry point to the world of D-SLR.”

So you have new nanny now. You are afraid leaving your baby alone with your nanny. You need to know that your nanny treat your baby well. Then you need a nanny camera so you can monitor your nanny’s activities.

If you want a new nanny camera but can’t afford to buy it, you can create by yourself. What you need in order to create your nanny camera are:
1. PC (Personal Computer)
2. Webcam
3. USB cable extensions (10m)
4. Recording Software
5. That’s it

As long you have your own PC, this DIY nanny camera is less expensive than buying a new one. The idea is just extend your web cam cable so you can hide your camera, and place the PC in other room.

Webcam is cheaper of course it has low quality than nanny camera. You can get webcam under 100 bucks. Buy webcam that include recording software at their pack. You can download open source recording software if your webcam manufacturer doesn’t provide recording software.

You should place a webcam at hidden location so your nanny doesn’t know that she is being watched. Then you can monitor from other room, or if your PC is connected to internet you can access your camera from the internet.
