Check out all the nominees, there are some amazing stuff there.

Testing the high ISO settings for the Canon 5D Mark II. This one is shot at ISO 3200 and no noise reduction is done to it. Pretty impressive in my opinion. Check out a larger version on flickr.

I’m playing with the Canon 5D Mark II and so far it's been really great. The resolution and the detail is remarkable. And after shooting hundreds of frames for over an hour in snow storm it proved to be really weather resistant. The camera was completely wet and the wheel at the back was frozen so I had to break the ice to turn it but the camera came out unharmed and performed great. I'll post more impressions later.

Frost showing on our window this morning promised a very cold day.
