Canon has added a pair of new large format printers to its line – the new imagePROGRAF 44-inch iPF8400S and 24-inch iPF6400S printers. The new color management capabilities of these models are designed to help ensure output is consistent and accurate across multiple locations and environments.
The new imagePROGRAF iPF8400S and iPF6400S printers should be available later this month for $4,995 and $2,995, respectively.

Initially announced as under development just prior to NAB 2013, Canon has released a new cinema prime lens – the CN-E35mm T1.5 L F.
This new lens is a full frame EF-mount lens that marks the sixth lens in the EF cinema prime line-up. As a full frame lens, it is compatible with the Canon 1D C, 1D X, 5D Mark III and, of course, all EOS Cinema cameras with EF mounts.
Other lenses in the line-up include the 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm EF-mount Cinema prime lenses.
The Canon CN-E35mm T1.5 L F Cinema prime lens is expected to be available in December 2013 for $5,200.
I had been wondering whether Canon would drop a new EOS M or two in the mix before PhotoPlus 2013 (I first saw the original EOS M last year at PhotoPlus 2012). As a of right now, Canon only has the 70D to show off at PhotoPlus. While there are plenty things to be excited about in the 70D, it won’t quite be as fresh when the end of October rolls around.

I expect Adobe to drop the full version of Lightroom 5.2 any day now. It’s been a full month since the Lightroom 5.2 release candidate was made available and preliminary support for the 70D was included.
Those of you looking to work on your Canon 70D raw files can do so with the release candidate. Or, if you have Aperture 3, Apple has already made full support for the 70D available in it.
I just got my hands on the Canon 70D and wanted to share a few thoughts about the new camera. This will be short and sweet as it really is a “brief hands-on” look at it. [Read more…]
More rumors are coming in about something big in the lens department for Canon. Specifically, that an announcement would come in September and it is a “big deal.” [Read more…]
B&H just receive its first shipment of the Canon 70D and is beginning to ship out pre-orders. The 70D is now listed in stock here at B&H Photo. The BG-E14 battery grip for the 70D should also start shipping tomorrow from B&H.
Canon Rebel SL1 and iPhone 5
The Canon Rebel SL1 (aka 100D) is a solid little camera that launched alongside the Rebel T5i. Despite its size, the Rebel SL1 does quite a bit to overshadow its physically larger and more expensive sibling. [Read more…]
Shipping notices are starting to go out for the Canon 70D from B&H Photo, which means they should start showing up on customers’ doorsteps early next week.
If you haven’t read up on the 70D technical specs and features, you can check out the Canon Camera Museum’s Technical Report that’s now online. Of particular interest is the section on the new Dual Pixel AF system, which I’m looking very forward to trying out.
You can find the 70D Technical Report here on Canon’s website.
