<iframe width="728" height="409" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6M_OZWtpokc" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe><p>Professional photographer Zack Arias has posted a rather passionate video about the issues he sees with <a href="https://unsplash.com/">Unsplash</a>, a web site that gives away photography for free.</p>
<p><em>“Is this the race to the bottom that we’re all tumbling towards….”</em></p>
<p><strong>Zack talks about a lot of the issues he sees with Unsplash:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There seems to be some legal issues with the site, especially when it comes to model releases for identifiable people, it seems some photographers think the Unsplash license provides this.</li>
<li>There is also the legal issues with images that show identifiable brands and property, you need releases for these images.</li>
<li>Getting hired because of Unsplash is likely the exception and not the rule, most people just come in, grab a photo and leave. They don’t look at your portfolio or even consider hiring you for commercial work. Obviously, some people have been hired, but again, that’s likely the exception and not the rule.</li>
<li>People can take your images from Unsplash and put them in <em><strong>THEIR</strong> </em>portfolio, as long as they don’t claim copyright to those images in their portfolio.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Back to the model releases, this is from Carolyn E. Wright from <a href="http://www.photoattorney.com">http://www.photoattorney.com</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Proceed with caution with dealing with Unsplash. Photographers who contribute photos there may find themselves in a lawsuit for a variety of reasons. While an end user clearly has the responsibility to secure permission for a commercial use of a photo of a recognizable person (as evidenced by a model release), stock agencies and photographers have been sued for right of privacy/right of publicity claims when posting and/or offering for licensing photos of people.</p></blockquote>
<p>Zack touches on a lot of serious issues with Unsplash in its current form. If you’re posting images to Unsplash, please be careful and be sure you’re getting proper and legal releases. Inevitably, a lawsuit is coming.</p>
<p>Is it really benefiting your business? Zack makes a great point about a Condé Nast publication Bride’s Magazine using an image from Unplash for the front cover of a magazine insert. The cover of that advertising insert likely cost the company that took the image from Unsplash tens of thousands of dollars, how much did the photographer get? Nothing, not even a thank-you.</p>

Canon continues to roll out the image sensor technology patents, as we get to see some new stacked and curved sensor patents. Canon News interprets all of these patents below.</p>
<p><strong>Japan Patent Application 2018-019270:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>We have found another patent application dealing with some of the problems and issues with curved sensors from Canon.  Unlike some other recent cuved sensor patents, this is a fixed design with a set curve.</p>
<p>This is an overall patent discussing a curved sensor in general, and goes into specifics on the curving without talking about a method of manufacturing, but details an image sensor, including details of an actual sensor electronically. <a href="https://www.canonnews.com/another-curved-sensor-patent-application-from-canon">Read More…</a></p></blockquote>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Japan Patent Application 2018-019227</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>When you stack or laminate a processing substrate and a sensor substrate as you can imagine you have heat generated from the processing substrate that can affect your image quality, especially in low light, or long exposure conditions.  Usually we use long exposure noise reduction which takes a second image (a dark frame) after your first image and removes the noise by subtraction.</p>
<p>This noise is called by what is called “dark current” and is usually purple-ish blobs in corners of your images, which shows where there was a heat source. <a href="https://www.canonnews.com/stacked-sensor-patent-application">Read More…</a></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Japan Patent Application 2018-019314:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>This patent deals with the problem of when  you share A/D and related circuitry across multiple pixels (a common strategy) your time to read the entire sensor increases because you have to reach each of those pixels one at a time because  you are switching between Pixel A to Pixel B to Pixel C. <a href="https://www.canonnews.com/a-couple-of-sensor-patent-applications-published">Read More…</a></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Japan Patent Application 2018-019287</strong>:</p>

Another set of Supertelephotos has appeared in a Japanese patent application.</p>
<p>Japan Patent Application 2018-018101</p>
<ul>
<li>EF 300mm f/2.8L</li>
<li>EF 400mm f/2.8L</li>
<li>EF 500mm f/4.0L</li>
<li>EF 600mm f/4.0L</li>
<li>EF 800mm f/5.6L</li>
</ul>
<p>We’re expecting new supertelephoto lenses some time in the next 12-18 months.</p>

The rumors are picking up steam for DJI’s Mavic Pro II, and from what we see, the biggest upgrade will be a 1″ image sensor, which would go a long way in making the drone a better stills tool.</p>
<p>Rumored Specifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>1″ CMOS sensor with 28mm lens</li>
<li>4820 mAh battery with 35 minute flight time</li>
<li>binocular rear sensors</li>
</ul>
<p>It’s<a href="http://dronereviewsandnews.com/rumor-dji-mavic-pro-ii-starts-production/"> also rumored that production has started</a> on the new drone and we can expect to see an announcement some time in March.</p>
<span id="pty_trigger"></span>

<p>Canon has filed a patent at the USPTO for a new mirror box design. This new mirror box adds speeds and a reduction in bounce.</p>
<p>There are a lot of parts to a mirror box assembly, and it’s easy to see how the remove of this complex system could greatly reduce the cost of production and increase margins for camera bodies, but we’re not ready to be rid of it yet.</p>
<p>It’s obvious that an EOS 7D Mark III and and EOS-1D X Mark III will remain “mirror slappers” for their next iterations. We should also expect to see improved FPS in both camera bodies.</p>
<span id="pty_trigger"></span>

We’ve had a vague update to the “<a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-sends-invites-to-dealers-for-major-mirrorless-presentation-next-month/">major mirrorless presentation</a>” we reported last month. It turns out the invitation was likely just for one specific country and wasn’t a global event. We never received a visual confirmation of the invite, but the follow-up from the source is enough for us to be confident of its authenticity.</p>
<p>Canon sometimes has a very different meaning than we do when it comes to something “major”.</p>
<p>The event is likely for the EOS M50. The form of the camera was probably revealed in the invite, the outline should closely resemble the EOS M6.</p>
<p>We’re hoping for something surprising with the EOS M50, but currently there are no reliable specifications out there.</p>
<span id="pty_trigger"></span>

We’ve known for a while what is likely coming ahead of CP+ this month, the trade show starts March 1, 2018 in Yokohama, Japan.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS M50

</strong>A mirrorless camera between the EOS M6 and EOS M100. We expect the price of it to be close to the EOS M6.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS Rebel T7

</strong>The replacement for the EOS Rebel T6.</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS Rebel T100

</strong>A new low cost model below the EOS Rebel T7.</p>
<p><strong>Speedlite 470EX AI Auto Bounce

</strong>Judging by the name, this will be a flash with some new technology.</p>
<p><strong>New Lenses

</strong>If new lenses are announced, they’re likely to just be new kit lenses. We haven’t seen any evidence of anything too exciting, but there’s always a chance.</p>
<p>We’re hoping for a surprise coming from Canon for CP+, perhaps a development announcement or something exciting with the EOS M50.</p>

<p>Vision Research, a leading manufacturer of digital high-speed imaging systems, has introduced the Phantom® v2640, the fastest 4-Megapixel (MPx) camera available. It features a new proprietary 4-Megapixel (Mpx) CMOS image sensor (2048 x 1952) that delivers unprecedented image quality at up to 26 Gpx/sec, while reaching 6,600 frames per second (fps) at full 2048 x 1952 resolution, and 11,750 fps at 1920 x 1080.</p>
<p>The v2640 features very high dynamic range (64 dB) and the lowest noise floor of any Phantom camera (7.2 e-)—making it an excellent tool for researchers, scientists and engineers who need to capture clean, high-resolution images at ultra-high speeds. The high dynamic range shows significant detail, especially in high-contrast environments, while the low noise is particularly beneficial when analyzing the dark regions of an image. It also has exceptional light sensitivity, with an ISO measurement of 16,000D for monochrome cameras and 3,200D for color cameras.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>“We’re excited to bring this extremely high image quality to the high-speed camera market,” says Jay Stepleton, Vice President and General Manager of Vision Research. “In designing this new, cutting-edge sensor, we focused on capturing the best image in addition to meeting the speed and sensitivity requirements of the market. The 4-Mpx design significantly increases the information contained in an image allowing researchers to better understand and quantify the phenomena they are observing.”</p>
<p>The v2640 has multiple operating modes for increased flexibility. Standard mode uses correlated double sampling for the clearest image, while high-speed (HS) mode provides 34% higher throughput to achieve 6,600 fps. Monochrome cameras can incorporate “binning,” which converts the v2640 into a 1-Mpx camera that can reach 25,030 fps at full resolution, with very high sensitivity. “The various operating modes also allow users to have just one camera to cover multiple applications,” adds Doreen Clark, Product Manager for the Phantom Ultrahigh-Speed family.</p>
<p>To help users manage the amount of data inherent in high-speed imaging, the v2640 is available with up to 288GB of memory, and is compatible with Phantom 1TB and 2TB CineMags® for fast data saves. Alternatively, 10Gb Ethernet is standard, saving significant download time.</p>
<p><strong>Key Specifications of the Phantom v2640</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>4-Mpx sensor (2048 x 1952), 26Gpx/sec throughput</li>
<li>Dynamic range: 64 dB</li>
<li>Noise level: 7.2 e-</li>
<li>ISO measurement: 16,000D (Mono), 3,200D (Color)</li>
<li>1 µs minimum exposure standard, 499ns / 142ns minimum exposure with export-controlled FAST option</li>
<li>4 available modes: Standard, HS and Binning (in Standard and HS)</li>
<li>Standard modes feature Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) performed directly on the sensor to provide the lowest noise possible</li>
<li>Up to 288 GB of memory</li>
<li>10-Gb Ethernet standard</li>
<li>Compatible with CineMag® IV (up to 2 TB)</li>

<p>A few days ago <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/another-canon-ef-70-200mm-f-2-8l-is-iii-mention-cr2/">we wrote about a new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III</a> was in testing, but we didn’t know when it was coming.</p>
<p>We have received confirmation that a new EF 70-200mm is coming in 2018, and again, we’re pretty sure it’ll be announced ahead of Photokina in August or September.</p>
<p>We’re not calling it an “EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III” for the time being, as a couple of our sources have hinted that there’s something “different” and “more” about this lens release. No one seems to want to let the cat out of the bag yet.</p>
<p>This is one of those rumors that is going to play out over time, we likely only have half of the information. Please keep your excitement in check until I have all of the information and can provide definitive answers.</p>
<p>I’m starting to feel that 2018 is going to be a fun year for Canon, more on that later.</p>
<span id="pty_trigger"></span>

The final camera shipment numbers for 2017 are in and the year may show we’ve bottomed out in total shipments. 2017 saw an increase in total camera shipments, though 2016 was affected by the Kumamoto earthquake which caused supply chain issues for a lot of manufacturers.</p>
<p>The compact market continues to fall, but decline in shipments appears to be slowing considerably, even when you take the earthquake into account. This is an area Canon will continue to try and grow marketshare, as well as profitability with their G series compact cameras.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>DSLR sales accounted for about 65% of total shipments for the ILC segment, with mirrorless making up the other 35%. Adoption of mirrorless cameras is driven by Japan and Asia, as it’s approaching a 50/50 split in shipments. The split for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras in North America is about 85%/15%, and Europe is somewhere in between the two regions.</p>
<p>I don’t think we’ll see significant movement in the DSLR to mirrorless split in North America until Nikon enters the segment with DX and FX mirrorless cameras and Canon released a full frame mirrorless option and maybe an even higher end APS-C EOS M.</p>
<p>The death of the DSLR is still a long ways off.</p>

We’re told that the EF-M prime coming later this year will be a “50mm equivalent” and “fast”. If we had to guess, it’s going to be en EF-M 35mm (56mm equivalent) f/1.4 or /1.8. We know for sure that it’s not a 30mm lens and that it’ll be faster than f/2. We don’t know if it’ll have IS at this time.</p>
<p>Until we know the speed for sure, we’ll keep this [CR2], but the lens is definitely coming. I expect the announcement for this lens to come before Photokina, which begins on September 25, 2018.</p>
<p>The only lenses coming ahead of CP+ will likely just be new kit lenses, so there’s nothing too exciting going on for February.</p>
<p>We’ll have more lens news about Photokina soon, and it’s going to be a pretty big deal.</p>

<p>“These new projectors showcase Canon’s commitment to its customers and the greater AV industry, as many of the new enhancements are a direct result of feedback integrated with core Canon features of high image quality and compact size,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “We plan to continue to nurture and grow our projector product line to include new technologies and designs to better optimize what is most important to integrators and end users alike.”</p>

<p>All six new projector models share these key technologies/features:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Superb Image Quality and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) Resolution: </strong>Canon’s renowned LCOS technology with AISYS-enhancement, which incorporates three WUXGA high-resolution panels, combined with an advanced color management system allow the reproduction of bright, highly detailed and color-accurate images.</li>
<li><strong>High Brightness (5800-7500 Lumens): </strong>The three new Laser models offer brightness of 5800, 6600 and 7000 lumens, and the three new Lamp models offer brightness of 5800, 6700 and 7500 lumens, respectively.</li>
<li><strong>Compact Design with Center Lens Mount:</strong> Ideal for multi-projection and stacking, these projectors feature a compact design as well as a new one-touch robust “spigot type” center lens mount system, which helps ensure lenses can be quickly and securely installed to meet a wide range of applications including those used in demanding environments.</li>
<li><strong>Versatile Connectivity with DisplayPort and HDBaseT Terminals:</strong> These models include multiple industry-standard interfaces including HDMI®, DisplayPort and DVI-I, as well as HDBaseT for enhanced installation flexibility and Wi-Fi® connectivity – which can be used to operate the projector’s Network Multi Projection (NMPJ) function and Canon Service Tool for PJ free app.</li>
<li><strong>DICOM® Simulation Mode¹:</strong> All models include a DICOM® Simulation Mode1 which can be ideal for those in the medical education and training field who require displaying monochrome digital X-rays, CAT scans and MRIs with superb grayscale gradation. This mode, which offers both clear and blue-base color temperature presets, simulates the results of devices compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14 standard.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>REALiS WUX5800Z, WUX6600Z, WUX7000Z Laser LCOS Projectors</strong></p>
<p>The WUX5800Z (5800 lumens), WUX6600Z (6600 lumens) and WUX7000Z (7000 lumens) are powered by a laser phosphor light source which provides long-life lasting operation of up to 20,0002 hours, and all projectors are equipped with a “Longer Duration Mode3” which is capable of achieving up to 40,000<sup>2</sup> hours of operation. Additional features include 360-degree installation on any axis, fast boot up time of approximately two seconds, wide color gamut and HDR compatibility for reproducing content with outstanding high contrast.</p>
<p><strong>REALiS WUX5800, WUX6700 and WUX7500 Lamp LCOS Projectors</strong></p>
<p>The WUX5800 (5800 lumens), WUX6700 (6700 lumens) and WUX7500 (7500 lumens) utilize a traditional lamp light source and achieve superb quietness at only 27 dB<sup>4</sup>, suitable for installation environments that demand minimal noise such as schools, hospitals and art galleries.</p>
<p><strong>RS-SL06UW, RS-SL03WF, RS-SL05WZ, RS-SL01ST, RS-SL02LZ and RS-SL04UL Interchangeable Lenses</strong></p>
<p>Equipped with a simple, one-touch spigot mounting system, these projectors can utilize the six new Genuine Canon lenses, which all exhibit low distortion and offer flexible lens shift that helps support multi-stacking, blending and a variety of other advanced applications. These lenses have also been designed to help minimize brightness loss, thus eliminating the need to over-specify projector brightness to compensate for wide or long throw lenses, which can sometimes experience significant drops in brightness.</p>
