We all expect Canon to announce its EOS 1D X Mark III before the Tokyo olympics, but the rumor miss has been surprisingly quiet on what exactly Canon is planning to do with their next flagship DSLR... until now.
We've known for several months now that Canon was working on IBIS for its full-frame mirrorless EOS-R system, but a recent patent and a new rumor indicates that this tech might make its way into Canon's DSLRs as well... and soon.
Fujifilm made a splash in the camera industry today by unveiling the GFX100, the world's first 102-megapixel mirrorless camera. And here's what's crazy: Fujifilm managed to stuff a medium format sensor into a camera body that's the same size as Canon's and Nikon's flagship DSLRs.
The groundbreaking new Sony a9 is one heck of a sports camera, and it's cheaper than both the Canon 1DX Mark II and the Nikon D5. That must mean it's financially smart to switch, right? Not so fast...
This morning we woke up to an interesting bit of data from Canon Professional Services in our inbox. A week after sharing some crazy photos of their Rio stockpile with us, Canon is sharing the top 10 pieces of gear they're loaning out to sports photographers at the Olympics. Can you guess what they are?
This photograph shows the camera equipment that Getty Images photographers will be using Brazil for the upcoming Rio Olympic Games. That's a lot of high-end Canon DSLR gear.
It seems Canon has got a real winner on their hands with the impressive (and expensive) Canon 1D X Mark II. In fact, it's now the highest rated Canon sensor DxOMark has ever tested! Move over 5DS...
Canon called the EOS-1D X Mark II a "remarkable combination of innovation and refinement" when they announced it back in February, but they should have just posted this video instead. Sure, that violates the space-time continuum, but I'm sticking by it.
Sigma has received glowing marks for its Art series of lenses, but the fact that it's a 3rd party lens maker still has its shortcomings. Case in point: Sigma has found that a few of its lenses don't play nicely with the new Canon 1D X Mark II.
The arrival of Canon's new flagship is hardly a surprise: the early leaking of the 1D X Mark II specifications and images online must surely have rankled at Canon. But the important thing is that the 1D X Mark II is finally here!
Canon today announced the 1D X Mark II, its latest flagship DSLR. Canon calls the camera a "remarkable combination of innovation and refinement" that combines both power and speed.
Official product photos of the soon-to-be-announced Canon 1D X Mark II have leaked onto the Web, giving us a glimpse of what Canon has up its sleeve for the next iteration of its flagship DSLR.
In this article, I'm going to share a simple comparison between photos taken with the Canon 1D X, Nikon D810, and Pentax 645z. First things first, this is not a scientific or carefully done test. Don’t read too much into it!
We've seen one video demonstration of the Canon 7D Mark II's impressive AutoFocus system, and we've heard the amazing specs, but it's a picture of a dragonfly that really drove home the point, for us, of how good this system is at locking focus on a moving subject.
Here's an interesting rumor from the Canon camp. You know that 'modular' phone Google is working on that will let you swap out pieces of it -- say, the camera, or the processor -- by removing and attaching different pieces? Well, fresh rumors suggest Canon is thinking of doing something similar with a forthcoming DSLR.
While diving for a catch at the back of end zone during today's game against Kansas State, Oklahoma wide receiver Sterling Shepard landed on something not-so-soft, but oh-so-very-expensive on the sideline: what looks to be a Canon 1DX attached to either a 400mm f/2.8L or a 500mm f/4L.
Shepard, we're happy to report, is okay. The lens... she's gone.
'See Impossible' debacle and subsequent parody aside, recent rumors indicate Canon really is getting ready to innovate, or at the very least take some risks and release some interesting products.
The most recent rumblings from the rumor mill today indicate that not one, but two cameras with multi-layer sensors will arrive in 2015, and a high megapixel camera is definitely in the pipeline.
Talk of Canon dropping a bomb on the megapixel war with a high-MP DSLR is nothing new, but several rumor sites are now reporting on the possibility of a 46MP pro Canon DSLR next month at PhotoPlus in New York City. Take THAT Nikon and your measly 36 megapixels.
Want to see that ultra-rare Canon 1200mm f/5.6 L USM lens we told you about a couple of weeks ago in action? Well, you're in luck, because the folks over at MPB Photographic have delivered on their promise to create some content with it by putting this monster through its paces in London.
It seems the major rumor sites were duped about the upcoming Canon 7D replacement. According to a new Canon Rumors report published last night, previously reported specs for the Mark II were incorrect. Fortunately, it seems they've gotten their hands on some new specs that they're "90% confident" are accurate this time around.
It's safe at this point to say that a Canon 7D replacement is definitely on the way, and will almost certainly make its debut at Photokina. But whereas there's plenty of leaked info to corroborate this fact, very little more about the camera has come to light.
Still, some info is bound to come out and the spec list below is the most accurate information that has slipped through the few cracks left in Canon's anti-rumor shield.
Bullet time isn't anything new, but where most of the recent examples show how you can use relatively inexpensive phones or GoPros to create the effect, this BTS video shows how Canon helped put together a crazy bullet time photo shoots that went radically in the other direction.
If you've been following the most recent rumors regarding the long-awaited Canon APS-C flagship 7D Mark II, you know that the latest news is that Canon has some fancy new sensor technology in the works, and that it's supposed to re-establish Canon as an imaging leader.
None of the rumor sites have been able to pin down what this sensor tech actually is, but its existence seems a near certainty; and now, it looks like the 7D won't be the only release to benefit from it. Canon may be refreshing the 5D and 1D lines as well.
Last week, we told you about an internal memo published by Canon Rumors that supposedly revealed Canon's 1D X (and likely 1D C) cameras were having autofocusing issues in sub-freezing temperatures. But it seems that might have only been the tip of the internal service memo iceberg.
A report on Canon Rumors is pointing out an issue with Canon's flagship full-frame DSLR and its Cinema counterpart: the 1D X and 1D C. Apparently users have been reporting problems with the 1D X's AF when shooting in less than 0° C, and if an anonymous report sent to CR is accurate, Canon knows about the problem.
About six months ago, well-known photographer Scott Kelby switched from Nikon -- which he had shot for many years -- to Canon. The switch has caused a flurry of questions from the photo community, and so today, Kelby asked Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon to stay for a few minutes after they wrapped up an episode of The Grid to help him answer this question.
Canon recently announced an exciting firmware update for its professional grade cinema camera: the EOS-1D C. But even though the fact that the 1D C can now shoot 25fps 4K is exciting, it's not improvements or bug fixes that have people talking, it's the fact that Canon is requiring that you go to an authorized service center to get the new firmware installed.
Wireless connectivity is one of the hot features in the camera world these days, and many (if not most) new cameras either have built-in wireless connectivity or an optional wireless adapter that provides the feature. Unfortunately, the wireless adapters are often quite pricey, especially for higher-end cameras.
Here's something neat that you might be interested in knowing if you shoot with a Canon 1D X: you can connect a cheap WiFi adapter designed for homes and offices to give your camera wireless tethering!
Cameras today have many extra functions that are often buried in menus and forgotten. Last year, I bought the Canon 5D Mark III and, after a few months, realized that there were some interesting features I had never played with. After figuring out that there was a way to do in-camera double exposures, I immediately started experimenting. At first it was very hit and miss. (I still hadn’t read the manual.)
Canon has issued a couple of service advisories to notify customers of known issues with the 6D and 1D X DSLRs. The former camera has a YouTube problem, while the latter has some autofocus issues for certain customers.
