Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Canon Germany has posted a teaser video that bears a message at the end “ihr publikum wartet auf sie” which translates to “Your audience is waiting for you,” along with the date July 31, 2013. [Read more…]
Don’t have $12,000 laying around to buy the new Canon EF 200-400mm f/4 IS USM Extender 1.4x lens? You can still rent it for as little as 3 days and up to 4 weeks. Rental rates start at $420. Check it out here at BorrowLenses.com.
Anyone who has used a lens with image stabilization can easily recall the cool effect when looking through the viewfinder and press the shutter button halfway down. Those shaky shots suddenly become very stable – with almost a feeling that your lens is floating in some sort of fluid.
This short video shows the components inside of Canon’s 18-55mm IS lens operating with front element of the lens removed. As you can see, it’s a combination of springs and servos that deliver that fluid stabilization. I found myself watching this over and over.
This cool Canon commercial from Korea shows off the impressive size of the Canon Rebel SL1 (aka Canon 100D). I was impressed with the Rebel SL1 in my initial hands-on review and remain impressed with it after spending a few weeks with it. Expect a full review soon.

Following up a previous rumor, there is more noise of a pair of new tilt-shift Canon lenses due in early 2014. The current TS-E 45mm f/2.8 and TS-E 90mm F/2.8 are well-overdue replacement and should find similar updates as seen in the recent Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L and TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II lenses. We could see an announcement later in 2013, but rumors suggest that they won’t be available until 2014. [Read more…]
Canon 7D Mark II Mockup
Consistent with past rumors, it looks like the Canon 7D Mark II will make its debut in 2014, which will leave the new Canon 70D with time to shine this fall. [Read more…]
The Canon Rebel T5i (aka 700D outside the US) follows the solid Rebel T4i, which followed the solid Rebel T3i, and so on. The thing about about the Rebel series in the recent iterations is that it seems like Canon is getting rather lazy and predictable with its flagship cameras in the Rebel lineup. [Read more…]
Canon EOS Rebel T5i/700D: From Snapshots to Great Shots is a new book from series author Jeff Revell. His Snapshots to Great Shots series for Canon DSLRs are frequently rated high amongst readers and generally are known as the go-to book for what should have come with the camera.
Canon EOS Rebel T5i/700D: From Snapshots to Great Shots retails for $24.99; however, it is currently available for $16.79 on Amazon.com.
Following the recent price slashing of the current Canon EOS M, along with its potential end of production, rumors continue to swirl regarding successors to the first generation EOS M.
Two cameras are rumored to be coming up in short order. [Read more…]
Adorama is the first retailer that I am aware of to list the Canon EOS M as discontinued. Searching for “EOS M” on Adorama’s site automatically directs you to a page containing discontinued items, and only displays used items. Additionally, the previous product listing for the EOS M now says “We are sorry, this item is no longer available.”
Perhaps the recent $299 fire sale for Canon EOS M kits depleted Adorama’s supply?
B&H and Amazon are currently back-ordered on this kit; however, you can still order at $299.
Additionally, the EOS M kit with 18-55mm lens for $349 is in stock at both B&H and Amazon.
If you have been thinking about picking up one of these very discounted prices, you may not have much time left to find one at all.
