		<title>New PhotoBlog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just started my own photoblog. Ok, not my first, but the first I am self-hosting. After looking through hundreds of Wordpress themes, I finally came upon one which is really cool in that it changes color based upon the photo being shown. Great effects and kudos to the author!

		<title>50mp Hasselblad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have some spare cash - like $39,995! - then you may be waiting for the arrival of Hasselblad&#8217;s new H3DII-50.
50 megapixels! Now who has not dreamed of such luxury? I am responding like Pavlov&#8217;s dogs here&#8230;
The H3DII-50 features Kodak&#8217;s 50 megapixel sensor, which is twice the size of the largest 35mm DSLR sensors. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canon&#8217;s 1000D - 10mp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Canon launched the EOS 300D in 2003 as the first affordable and/or entry level digital SLR. It sealed Canon&#8217;s dominance in the market. Since then, the Rebel has gone through three more iterations and the current model - the EOS 450D - offers a feature set and image quality that could only have been dreamed [...]]]></description>

HmmmmHas 5D production stopped? We are anxiously awaiting the next incarnation of that marvelous 5D. (Mine was stolen and I am still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canon&#8217;s Xsi, 450D - 12.2mp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
From DPreview: The EOS 450D is the balance between beginner-friendly ease of use and the manual control / customization. The new stabilized 18-55mm lens is a distinct improvement on some of Canon&#8217;s earlier kit zooms and the fact it only adds $100 to the body price is a real bonus. That said, you really need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canon 5D v2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Canon rep was overheard: The EOS-1Ds line (the full-frame pro DSLRs) is on a three-year upgrade cycle. The 1Ds Mark II came out in 2004, and the Mark III 3 years later in 2007. The EOS 5D came out in 2005 and it is now&#8230;? So, are we due for a new version? Message [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mid-Level DSLRs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More MP
The first DSLR sensor made by Samsung is the 14.6MP CMOS chip. This gives the GX-20 and the Pentax K20D the highest-resolution imaging in this class. The Pentax K200D gets the Sony-made 10.2MP CCD from the now-discontinued K10D. The Sony uses its own 14.2MP CCD in the Alpha 350, and Canon its own 12.2MP [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nikon D3 12mp dSLR Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For $5000, one would expect top performance on all levels and according to PopPhoto, one is not disappointed. They made it their Top Camera for 2007.
By going to full-frame, the discussion of megapixels hardly applies. Image quality is top-notch and  enough to make high-quality enlargements of up to 14&#215;21 inches (at 200 ppi).
