Photography Blog has completed their review of the brand new Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2, which just began shipping in the last week or so.
It looks like they’ve come away quite impressed with this new Tamron.
Conclusion:
The new Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a versatile walk-around lens with a fast maximum aperture that consistently delivers great images. It’s very sharp throughout most of the zoom and aperture range, even at the edges of the frame, with sharpness only falling off a little shooting wide open at f/2.8. The new SP 24-70mm G2 also produces very nice bokeh effects thanks to the 9-blade iris diaphragm, although there’s some very obvious vignetting and some barrel distortion at 24mm, plus slight pincushioning at 70mm. Overall, though, there’s little to complain about in the image quality department. Read the full review

The PowerShot G1 X Mark III is scheduled to be announced in mid October. There has been some speculation that we might see the PowerShot G3 X Mark II announced as well, which we now know isn’t happening in 2017.
It appears is the PowerShot G1 X Mark III will be the last substantial camera announcement from Canon for the remainder of the year. We expect to see more PowerShot G series cameras announced ahead of CES 2018 which begins on January 9, 2018.
DSLR announcements generally come in February ahead of CP+.
Here’s hoping the PowerShot G1 X Mark III is a big step forward for the “G” series.

Kieran Elson has written what we think is a fun piece about returning to the EOS-1D. Canon’s 4.2mp CCD equipped professional DSLR from 2001.
The EOS-1D is one camera I am actively looking to add to my collection, as it was quite a revolutionary leap for digital photography.
Throwback Thursday won’t become a weekly thing here, the timing just worked out this week.
Canon EOS-1D Specifications:
Kieran writes:
The Canon EOS 1D was released in 2001 as Canon’s new flagship digital camera, similar in many ways from the EOS-1V professional film camera, it was an obvious step into the digital era.
Fast forward to 2017 and photography has entered a whole new world, with 50 million pixel sensors available and 24mp as an expected standard.
