Photographer Jason Magbanua was lucky enough to get a pre-production Canon 7D unit. And since he was only given less than two days to try it out, he decided to create a mini-documentary.

More than simple IT news!
Seagate has finally started shipping their new Barracuda XT 2TB drives that feature the new 6Gb/s SATA interface based on SATA Revision 3.x specifications. We had an early preview of the drive a few weeks ago and finally received a production level item for review. Just as important, we now have retail motherboards from Asus and Gigabyte featuring 6Gb/s capabilities. Well at least the Marvell 88SE9128 chipset included on both motherboards is theoretically capable of 6Gb/s operation.
Asus and Gigabyte took a different approach to implementing the Marvell 9128 chipset on their motherboards.
It must be snowing in Texas today as we finally have another P55 board to preview without it coming from Gigabyte or ASUS. Today’s star is the MSI P55-GD80, which is designed to compete directly against the ASUS Deluxe and Gigabyte UD5 series. We have been very impressed with MSI as of late with the AMD based 790FX-GD70 plus the uATX form factor X58M motherboards. In fact, MSI will also be releasing a uATX based P55 motherboard that will sell under the P55M-GD45 moniker.
MSI was considerate enough to send us a production ready unit this week and we have had a blast using it since it hit the testbed.
