Canon Teaser Updated, Getting Old Now

September 16, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Canon has updated it’s teaser for the 5D Mark II yet again. Nothing groundbreaking, just a little more light and now you can make out the word “Canon” for sure on the new camera.

In an almost interesting point, the Japanese version of the teaser appears to be revealing a “5” behind the camera. Here’s the series of images from the Japanese teaser:

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Phase 4

And here’s the final image with levels lifted a bit to show off what we think is the “5” and additional features that Canon hasn’t colored over on the camera itself.

Do you think 5 phases of this teaser will be enough for the Canon 5D Mark II?

Are you bored, excited or simply indifferent with regard to Canon’s teaser?

Casio EX-FH20 Reviews

PhotographyBLOG

Photographically speaking, there’s nothing that exceptional about the Casio. However if you’re a YouTube junkie and as keen on video as you are shooting stills, and being able to capture slow motion footage as well as widescreen vistas floats your boat, then the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 is worth further investigation.

Digital Camera Info

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 essentially delivers a couple of absolutely amazing features, but can only muster mediocre image quality, and comes with a stiff price tag.
