Canon EF-S 17 - 55 mm F2.8 IS lens
Canon has today announced an interesting new constant aperture 'digital' (EF-S) lens. The new EF-S 17 - 55 mm F2.8 IS is designed specifically for the dimensions of a 'cropped sensor' (1.6x crop) and hence can be made smaller than a 35 mm equivelant lens. It features a maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout the zoom range which means it's a faster alternative to other EF-S lenses.

EOS 5D viewfinder dust problems
DPreview.com forums are attracting an increasing number of complaints on the EOS 5D's viewfinder dust. The dirt seems to crawl where you can't reach it (it is not on the focusing screen!), effectively giving owners a hard time. It is most probably a design flaw and now it's all eyes out on Canon's pending reaction / official statement.
