Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Canon’s recent teaser for an October 26 EOS/PIXMA event will include the launch of something called “Legends in Imaging.” No specifics are know about this event, except that it will take place on the eve of the PhotoPlus trade show in New York – and that Canon likes the phrase “Exactly as you envisioned.”
What do you envision for this?
It sure hasn’t taken long for the Nikon D800 rumor mill to gather a full head of steam. The latest rumors/leaks suggest ISO 100-6400 with expansion down to ISO 50 and up to ISO 25,600. Again, that’s at 36MP. [Read more…]

While that’s not much to go on, the new lenses makes a lot of sense – particularly in light of my review of Canon’s recent patent application for video-optimized EF lenses that feature an aperture ring.
