From The Digital Picture Bryan at The Digital Picture has completed his review of the very good Canon EOS 70D. Says Bryan about the EOS 70D “In addition to a feature roll-up, the 70D gets brand new technology and becomes what is arguably now the best all-purpose Canon DSLR camera available without facing the much bigger price required to step up to the full frame models which currently start at $1,999.00 USD. The 70D’s reasonable price will have a big influence on its selection by many.” Canon EOS 70D at B&H Photo | Read the complete review cr

Is Sigma getting serious? Below is a list compiled by [PR] about possible lens announcements by Sigma before the Photokina show in September 2014. Most of these lenses we’ve already posted about, but once you put them in a list, it appears Sigma has their work cut out for them. Announcements don’t necessarily mean availability before next year, especially with the big super telephoto lenses. Sigma 24-105mm f/4 OS Sigma 24-70mm f/2 OS HSM (Could be 2.8) Sigma 300mm f/2.8 OS Sigma 400mm f/2.8 OS Sigma 500mm f/4 OS Sigma 600mm f/4 OS Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG OS Sigma 24mm…
New Review Justin has completed his review of the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L ultra wide angle zoom lens from Canon. For a lot of people, this is their first wide angle zoom and becomes a workhorse. I know one landscape/nature photographer who uses this lens extensively and it’s used for about 75% of images that he sells, and he sells a lot! This is a great lens for publishing and using all the time. I have a hard time recommending the 16-35 f/2.8L II to anyone other than an event photographer. The EF 17-40mm f/4L is a workhorse that is…

More from Sigma? We’ve been told to expect an announcement some time in 2013 for a 24-105mm f/4 OS lens from Sigma. Such a lens could be a big winner if it performs better than the Canon EF 24-70 f/4L IS and the EF 24-105 f/4L IS. Source: [VT] cr

*UPDATE* The catch is you must own a copy of Photoshop CS3 or higher to qualify for the limited time pricing of $9.99 per month (sign-up before December 31, 2013). They lost me at that requirement, had they not required CS3, I would have signed up as soon as I was able to. This still may be great for customers that have chosen not to upgrade from previous versions of PhotoShop. Read the Adobe blog for more Into the cloud? Adobe just announced Photoshop and Lightroom for $9.99/mth. If you don’t want to lay out the cost of the software…
