Canon 5D Review (Does the “D” stand for drool?)

I can't claim to own an actual Digital SLR--yet, but I have been looking at the market for a couple of months now. The Canon 5D looks like an excellent camera.


Digital Photography Review has a very in-depth review of the camera. The camera weighs in at US$3,299 bones, but according to them it lives up to, and maybe past the price expectation. The lens is extra dough.

If money were not an issue I would probably end up with one of these in my own hands, but I would also like to check out Nikon's latest offering.

As an aside, if you are looking into purchasing any form of digital camera, Digital Photography Review is a great place to look at reviews. Very detailed, very informative, and they don't seem to be nearly as slanted as some review sites out there.

Cyberhand to Shake Up Prosthetics

Here is a worthy use of time and money. This project seeks to build a prosthetic hand that is as close as possible to the real thing.


Quoted from the website:

1. be felt by an amputee as the lost natural limb delivering her/him a natural sensory feedback by
means of the stimulation of some specific afferent nerves;

2. be controlled in a very natural way by processing the efferent neural signals coming from the
central nervous system (reducing the discomfort of the current EMG-based control prosthesis).

For videos, pics, and other information, have a look at the link above.
