Canon has been relatively quiet on new releases recently, with cameras such as Nikon's D90 grabbing some attention. Canon set that straight today by announcing some new models, which included the revamped EOS 5D MkII. The new 5D is obviously aimed at the high end of the market with its 21.1 megapixel sensor and $2,699 price tag come November (body only). It also goes a step further than the D90 (which can record 720p video), by offering a 1080p video mode. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty, then dpreview has a nice preview article for you. Canon also announced some new compact models today, including another camera capable of full HD video, the SX1 IS. There were also new additions to the Powershot range, and the SX10 IS and G10. Obviously most will probably lust after the new 5D, but there might be something else amongst those that catches your eye.
