Canon EOS M Officially Unveiled
Canon has unveiled the highly-anticipated EOS M mirrorless camera. As expected, the camera comes equipped with an 18MP APS-C CMOS image sensor. It will be available in black or white (update: the white is apparently no longer available in the US — update 2: retailers are trying to get official confirmation from Canon regarding available colors other than black) in October for $799.99.
Canon EOS M Key Features
- 18MP APS-C Sensor
- DIGIC 5 Image Processor
- 1080p video (30p/24p)
- 720p video (60p)
- ISO 100-6400 (video mode w/ ISO 12800 expanded)
- ISO 100-12800 (photo mode w/ ISO 25600 expanded)
- 3-inch touch screen LCD
- Manual exposure for video
- Manual audio levels
- SDXC Support (UHS-I compatible)

The new EF-M lens mount on the camera accepts the two new lenses released with the camera – the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM kit lens and the optional EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. Additionally, the EF-EOS M adapter allows you to use either EF or EF-S mount lenses with the camera, which should be a pretty big selling point to existing Canon DSLR users. The EF-EOS M adapter will be available in October for $199.99.
Alongside the lenses, a new Speedlite 90EX flash will be available in October for $149.99.

Zack Arias Earns His “OneLight” Keep with a Crappy Kodak Compact
Zack Arias is known for his OneLight mantra and has been making waves for the past few years as a standout commercial and editorial photographer in Atlanta. Kai over at DigitalRev got him out in a Chinese back alley for a round of Pro Photographer Cheap Camera.
In this episode, Zack gets stuck with a full-auto Kodak C142 digital camera and a single speedlight. Then, he has to figure out how to make the two work together and turn out something respectable.
It’s worth a watch to see just how much Zack can pull out of a $79 camera and a single speedlight.
Canon EOS M Specs Leaked
Specs for the new Canon EOS M mirrorless camera appear to have leaked out a day ahead of launch. Canon Rumors posted the following specs on the EOS M.
Canon EOS M Mirrorless Camera Specs
- 18mp APS-C
- DIGIC V
- Phase & Contrast AF
- Video Servo AF
- 3? Touchscreen 1.04million pixels
- ISO 100-12800 (25,600 Expansion)
- SD Card
- 1920×1080 Video 30p/25p/24p
- 1280×720 Video 60p/50p
- MPEG-4, AVC/H.264
- Adaptor at launch for EF lenses
Additionally, it looks like Canon will be employing the same 18MP sensor from the Rebel T4i with pixel-level phase detection AF sensors in place as I speculated a few weeks back. These specs make the Canon EOS M look like a killer mirrorless model.
If all this is legit, it’s going to be fun watching Canon and Sony go toe-to-toe with their mirrorless models over the next couple of years. It’s also a great thing for consumers to have two camera makers trying to one-up each other.
Does anyone see any glaring omissions that turns you off from this new mirrorless model?

SpiderPro Camera Holster Review
The Spider Camera Holster is a new way to carry your camera. With this system your camera will clip onto a belt, taking the weight off from your neck and shoulders. Personally, I dislike standard camera straps. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to test out the Spider Holster.
I tested out the SpiderPro Single Camera System, which includes the SpiderPro Belt, the SpiderPro Holster, the SpiderPro Plate, and a SpiderPin, with a Canon 7D with battery grip, a 70-200 f4 IS, and 430EX II Speedlite.
The SpiderPro Belt with Holster was very easy to adjust and get situated on my waist. The belt is adjustable via a velcro strap and is easy to switch the position from the right side of your body to the left side. The buckle is a triple lock type so you know that it will not randomly come unclipped. [Read more…]
Switronix Releases Powerbase for Blackmagic Cinema Camera

Samsung MV900F with Wi-Fi Sharing and 180° Display
The Samsung MV900F is a new Wi-Fi enabled point and shoot camera, which also sports a 180-degree display. The MV900F features a 16MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and also captures 1080/60p HD video.
With similar connected functionality to the new Panasonic SZ5, the Samsung MV900F allows you to share photos instantly. However, the Samsung model does not appear to be equipped with the ability to integrate with any iOS or Android model (like the SZ5). Instead, the MV900F interfaces with Samsung’s line of SMART televisions, Blu-ray players, mobile PCs and smartphones. That said, you can share directly to Facebook, Photobucket, YouTube and other online services directly from the camera via Wi-Fi.
The 3.3-inch AMOLED display flips up on top of the camera for a 180-degree view from the front of the camera – as opposed to the more traditional tilt/swivel displays that swing out to the left side.
The Samsung MV900F retails for $349, ships in August 2012 and is available here at B&H Phot0.
Samsung MV900F Key Features
- 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor
- 3.3″ WVGA AMOLED Touchscreen
- Full HD 1920 x 1080 Video at 60 fps
- Dual Capture Photo and Full HD Video
- Self-Portrait Features & Shooting Modes
- Integrated Wi-Fi & Direct Connect Button
- Capture Images via Gesture or Remote VF
- Social Media Sharing & Auto Backup
- Easy Photo Editing In-Camera
