Digital Camera News: Canvas prints from Shutterfly, Nikon D50 confirmed

[Ben Stafford]

Shutterfly Now Offering Canvas Prints

You can now have your digital images printed on canvas.  Shutterfly has announced that users can now choose to have their pictures printed on hand-stretched canvases in three sizes: 16"x20", 20"x30" and 24"x36".  Prices start at $89.99.

The canvas is hand-stretched and mounted on wooden frames.  The image is printed to the edge of the canvas so that the image wraps around the frame, "giving photos a gallery finish".  The canvas is coated to prevent damage from UV light and excess moisture.

For best quality, Shutterfly recommends an image of at least 3 megapixels.

Nikon confirms Nikon D50 digital SLR

In a story at Macworld, a Nikon spokesperson has confirmed a future release of a new digital SLR from Nikon, called the D50.  Rumors have been circulating about the new model after an operating manual was posted erroneously on a couple Nikon web sites.

There are no details about specifications, but Nikon has mentioned that they are developing a line of digital SLR's to appeal to a wide range of users, from enthusiasts to professionals.

Canvas eh? That's pretty cool. Now, if I could just take pictures that were good enough to warrant such an investment. Maybe Shutterfly should offer a library of images that people could print for use as gifts or in their own homes, etc.

Don't quote me on this, but the D50 is a low cost 6 MegaPixel DSLR aimed squarely at the original Digital Revel and will be priced as such.

There also a "D70s" under the wraps as mentioned on Rob Galbraith's site.
