Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS & EF 35mm f/2 IS Lenses Confirmed
The recently-rumored Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS has been confirmed through an image and spec leak alongside a new EF 35mm f/2 IS lens. Additionally, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS lens will be a kit lens for the Canon 6D, which should ship in December. Apparently, the rumored 50mm f/1.4 IS lens will not be making its way out this round.
The EF 24-70mm f/4L IS lens may end up replacing the current 24-105mm f/4L IS as the defacto kit lens for other full frame DSLRs going forward. That’s just speculation; however, the lenses completely overlap. Of course, some will deride a decision to go with the shorter lens as compared to the longer reach offered by the 24-105mm version; however, there’s no denying the reduced footprint and weight around your neck offered by the 24-70mm f/4L IS.
The 24-70mm f/4L IS lens is believed to weigh only 600g, while the 24-105mm f/4L IS weighs in at 670g. Likewise, the 24-70 is believed to be 93mm max length, while the 24-105 max length is 107mm. [Read more…]

Additionally, pricing of $849 for the rumored Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS lens has been thrown out as well.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II Lens Back in Stock
The new Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II lens is back in stock at B&H. We saw it earlier in the week, then it quickly disappeared. Now, it appears that B&H received another shipment it.

Canon 6D Hands-On
The Canon 6D is a 20MP full frame camera that steps up in performance from the 5D Mark II, but still offers a lower entry price than what the 5D Mark II did at its debut. For now, Canon’s full frame line-up will consist of (in order of sophistication and price) the 5D Mark II, 6D and 5D Mark III.
The 6D should offer improved dynamic range and low-light noise control thanks to larger pixels and improved processing over the 5D Mark II. Additionally, the 6D steps up to 4.5 fps frame rate over the 5D Mark II at 3.9 fps. Another kudos goes to the locking mode dial on the 6D – a small, but great, addition. [Read more…]
Canon 1D X DxO Test Grades Are In – It’s the Best Canon Yet.
Canon 1D X Comparison via DxO Labs
The Canon 1D X just got its DxO Mark scores published and it scored better than any Canon full frame sensor to date. That said, it still failed to best the Nikon D4, let alone the Nikon D800.
Canon 1D X vs. Nikon D800
However, stepping away from the numbers, the Canon 1D X is a heckuva camera that can certainly hold its own in just about any shooting environment.
What do you think about the DxO score and comparisons for the Canon 1D X? Would these test results sway your opinion of the camera?

Canon EF 24-70 f/4L IS Lens “On the Horizon”
After the rumor about a 24-70mm f/2.8L IS lens from Canon a couple days ago, Canon Rumors is now tweaking that rumor with “reliable” info on a f/4 version of that lens. Apparently, the f/4 version of the lens is on the horizon and could be arriving soon.
Seems like an odd lens to add to the mix, particularly with the solid 24-105mm f/4L IS that’s been selling like hotcakes since its release. Of course, if the sharpness improvements are as substantial as the 24-70mm f/2.8L II were over the lens it replaced, a smaller and lighter lens might serve as a replacement and more directly compliment the popular 70-200mm lineup.
What would you think about a stabilized 24-70mm f/4L IS lens? What would be the right price point for you?
