Rebates on Canon cameras and other Canon merchandise

This is just a reminder, for those of you that have recently purchased Canon merchandise or are considering getting some. There is a very nice Canon rebate program going on now if you purchase select Canon digital point and shoot or SLR cameras, copiers, large format printers, and lenses.

Time is running out. Be sure you check out the dates. They don’t all end at the same time. If you made a purchase, get it turned in. If you haven’t purchased your new Canon Digital SLRs, then here is a link to get you started. Now is a great time to do it. Just make sure you read the rebate above for the models first.

Very cool stop motion video of the Space Shuttle taken with Canon Digital SLRs

Wow, as always, thanks to Victor Khong for passing along another gem.

This is a fantastic video put together from over 100 hours of photographs taken with up to nine simultaneously used Canon 5D Mark II Cameras during the preparation of the Space Shuttle for Launch.

You get to see the Space Shuttle being moved into the assembly building, lifted with a crane, rotated to a vertical position and hoisted onto the rocket for launch. Fantastic.

Here is the story behind the video.
