While there are some other niggling issues created by the use of this filter, it appears that the benefits more than outweigh the problems.  Check out the video below for the full rundown. [Read more…]

Low resolution images of the obligatory PowerShot compact camera updates appear to have leaked out.

The PowerShot SX150 HS should serve as a replacement for the current PowerShot SX130 HS.  The SX150 HS will upgrade to a 14.1MP sensor (from 12.1MP on the SX130) and will keep the same 12x zoom range – or so it appears. [Read more…]

Canon 1Ds Mark IV

Canon 1Ds Mark IV on Canon Website

When I first saw this list for extended warranty options showing the Canon 1Ds Mark IV, I figured it was a typo since it’s pretty common to see the 1D Mark IV mistakenly listed as the 1Ds Mark IV (even on some of Canon’s sites).

However, this was actually a separate listing from the 1D Mark IV and the 1Ds Mark III, already in the chart above.  And, the 1Ds Mark IV listing was a different price. [Read more…]

For a little while last night, Canon Australia had second listing of the 5D Mark II; however, it was in a folder directory for the EOS 6D.  I grabbed a few screen shots before it disappeared. [Read more…]

Canon (Still) Developing Radio-Sync TTL Wireless Flash/Camera

By

Canon Radio TTL Patent Application

Canon has obviously been working on a new TTL flash system that works with radio sync triggering for quite a while now.  We saw a patent application for a Canon radio-triggered flash and camera system in August 2010 and now, almost a year later, another Canon patent application that advances this tech has been revealed by the USPTO.
