EOS 5D Mk 2 Rumors Picking Up Again

Well it seems the Canon EOS 5D Mk II rumors are picking up again. These last few days have seen traffic to this site more than double, and most of the inbound hits have been from people looking for information on the new EOS 5D.
So is there a new news story about the new 5D […]

Two new super-telephotos from Canon

Canon have announced two very nice sounding super-telephoto lenses that are currently in development: the Canon EF200mm f/2L IS USM and EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM, both of which are ‘L’ lenses featuring Image Stabilization and top-notch build quality.

I think the 800mm is going to be way out of my price range, but I’ll be interested […]

Nikon Raises the Stakes

There has been some interesting news this week. Canon have announced their EOS 40D (no surprise there), the EOS-1Ds Mark III, and what looks like a pretty good little compact, namely the PowerShot G9 (with RAW again!).
On paper the 40D looks pretty nice. Canon seem to have finally taken on board the suggestions of […]

Canon compete with Sigma for large sensor compacts market

Reported over the weekend, Canon are building a 55 billion yen ($451 million) factory in Japan to double its production capacity of image sensors used in digital cameras. The significance of this is that Canon will be manufacturing complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) sensors for both Digital SLRs and compact digital cameras.
In the past Canon […]

Park Cameras - a bit of confusion?

I was just over at the Park Cameras website looking for prices on a longish lens, and came across this exceptional bit of pricing!
If you buy the Canon EF 300mm f/4.0L USM IS on it’s own it will set you back £888.00. However, they also do a specially priced bundle: the Canon EF 300mm f/4.0L […]

Rumor mill: Canon EOS 7D

Would you credit it? I’ve just been googling (for something entirely unrelated), and came across several sites talking about the brand spanking new EOS 7D! This will (allegedly) be full frame, loads of megapixles, supper fast in every way possible, and be cheap. Hmmm. Another suggestion was that it will be a 1.3x crop instead […]

EOS 5D Out of Stock! Replacement around the corner?

After yesterday’s post about the EOS 5D Mark II, it’s interesting to find that nearly every camera shop near me is out of stock of the original EOS 5D. The only places I’ve found it in are two branches of Jessops, and they are horrendously over priced — about £200 more than I hope to […]

Canon EOS 5D Mk II - some speculation

So here’s there deal: I’m thinking about getting an EOS 5D, but am worried the moment I get it, it’s going to be replaced by a ‘Mark 2′ version - the EOD 5D Mk II.
In the past there has been a lot of speculation about an EOS 3D being released. I’m not so convinced about […]

Canon PowerShot TX1

More pre-PMA goodness, this time the Canon PowerShot TX1. This is no ordinary camera — it’s an ixus-sized hybrid, offering HDTV (1280×720 pixel, 30fps) movie capture and a 7.1MP still camera.
Most notable about this camera is the unsual styling - reminiscent of the an old fashioned cine camera. Interesting bit of kit - I […]

Canon EOS-1D Mark III Announced

Pre-PMA 2007, Canon have made their first big announcement for the year: an update to the EOS 1D. The EOS 1D Mark III features a ten megapixel APS-H (1.3x FOV crop) CMOS sensor, and can take an impressive ten frames per second. It’s also got an updated DIGIC III image processor, a new 19 […]
