Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Canon USA filed a pair of lawsuits in October against Get It Digital, LLC and several other widely-known gray market retailers in a effort to force them to stop selling gray market Canon cameras and other products in the United States.
I obtained copies of the complaints and exhibits late last week and have reviewed the allegations made and evidence cited within. [Read more…]
Last week on November 10, 2015, Canon produced its 80 millionth EOS camera, which comes roughly 21 months after it reached the 70 million camera milestone. The 80 millionth EOS camera to roll off the production line was the Canon 5DS R. [Read more…]
Canon has announced its next evolution of the XA camcorder line – the XA35 and XA30 camcorders, which replace the XA25 and XA20 models.
The Canon XA35 and XA30 remain HD camcorders and are differentiated by a HD/SD-SDI output on the XA35. The cameras borrow from the Cinema EOS System with a new Wide DR mode for greatly-expanded dynamic range. They also offer dual band WiFi support at 5GHz and 2.4GHz with FTP file transfer possible.

The new Canon EOS M10, PowerShot G9 X and G5 X are now in stock and shipping to customers.
Notably, the EOS M10 has a $100 instant rebate, making it only $499 with a 15-45mm kit lens. Read my Canon EOS M10 hands-on review for more on why I think it’s a great mirrorless camera. You can also order it here at B&H Photo.
The G9 X also gets an instant rebate of $30 for a $499 price tag. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
And the PowerShot G5 X runs $799. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Magnanimous Media has put together a couple sample videos in its first look with the Canon C300 Mark II, which shoots 4K video and features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF functionality in the EF mount flavor. There’s also a PL mount option – but no autofocus (for obvious reasons). Coincidentally, the C300 Mark II is now shipping.
You can watch the 4K version of the sample footage in the YouTube version below. [Read more…]

[Update: Looks like they’re out of stock now.]
Canon USA’s online store has an absurd deal today that I thought was just too good to be true. This is a 1-day only deal for November 4, 2015.

The weather was crappy yesterday but I had to take a shot at heading out to the Smokies for one more look at the fall colors. It’s past peak and the atmosphere was pea soup in most places but I stopped at an overlook and shot a 9 frame panorama with the Canon 5Ds R and EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens, which you can see above.
The overall file size is 136.5MP for the exported JPEG and is 25,910 x 7,215 pixels (after stitching and cropping) for a whopping 186.94MP image. The stitched panorama Lightroom DNG file is 781.3MB with individual RAW files that make up the panorama weighing in at around 64MB each. Those 50MP files add up quick… [Read more…]
Remember the 120MP Canon DSLR that we saw up close at the Canon Expo last month?
Well, Canon may be cooking up a new sensor technology to go along with the high resolution DSLR. [Read more…]
Not that the suggestion of Canon producing a full frame mirrorless camera is revolutionary; however, it is reassuring to hear that one may be in the pipeline. Canon Rumors received a tip from a reliable source that Canon is, in fact, developing a full frame mirrorless camera to be situated alongside its current line of EOS M cameras that feature APS-C format sensors.
