What's your thoughts regarding the material used for the RF L lenses? I don't like it. It feels cheap and not like the EF L lenses. For example the RF 100-500 is all plastic except the tripod mount. My EF 100-400 feels lika a tank when compered. All metal and very solid build.

After talking about the EU and why that didn’t seem to be causing any of the delays, the conversation in the forums, after discussing golf rangefinders, made a note that there seemed to be a supply shortage across all manufacturers. Someone mentioned Thom Hogan talking about it, and then something clicked in my lizard brain

We have been waiting for this product to be announced with breathless anticipation. Canon, today, announced the Canon PowerShot Golf Laser Rangefinder for $349.99. I have to admit, it’s kind of cool. I wonder how accurate it is, and if you could use it for any other distance measurement versus just golf. With my golf

It has been a long time since we’ve seen new and exciting Cinema EOS products. The last camera introduced to the lineup was the EOS R5 C way back in January of 2022. Its safe to say that the entire lineup needs a refresh and some new focus. This is what we have been told

With Canon releasing the R1 and soon the R5 Mark II and hopefully some other awesome camera that clearly won’t be an R100 Mark II. There have been a few patent applications that we have talked about over the past 8 or so months here since I started working in CanonRumors that I do hope

The details are scant right now but between the rumors and what seems to have been confirmed and what we can see from the EOS R1 objectively, we can probably make some good assumptions about what we do expect from these cameras. The TL;DR from the press announcement is basically; I’ll be updating this article

Dustin Abbott has completed his review of the Canon EOS RF R50 Mirrorless camera. This is what I would personally consider the entry-level APS-C camera in the RF lineup, as we all know what I think about the R100. Dustin has a really well detailed look into the R50 in his review, and I actually

This is a difficult article to write. Craig had to take an indefinite leave of absence from all things and is now uncontactable. This has forced management to display that annoying popup message that we now see 20 times a day. Because this all happened without any warning, I don’t have any idea about the

In this patent application (2024-063513), Canon is looking at improving the subwavelength coatings for optical elements. In an optical system constituted by optical elements, reflection of incident light on the surface and inner surface of the optical element is undesirable because it causes a loss in the amount of transmitted light and reflection ghosts. Therefore,

I've a Canon Pro-10. The print head is dying on it. I can see 3rd party heads for it with bad reviews but I can't see an option to buy the printhead from Canon.
The printer is quite old now.
I was looking for some advice on buying a replacement.
I'd be open to Canon or Epson.
I love the print from a Canon Pro-10 but it is a frustrating machine. In my case its extremely difficult to access the printhead when there is an error. It's locked in the right of the machine. Every so often I can get it out to clean it and it works again for a while. It's basically built in obsolescence. It's not a machine designed to be fixed. Error codes and instructions on fixing are borderline pathetic. Possibly Epson is no better. It's a huge chunk of metal and plastic to dump. "Sustainability" is just a catchy phrase.
The other issue is Ink Size. Very small in the Pro-10 and only slightly improved in new machines. There is so much waste of ink in the set up of the printer and it takes for ever to get going on start-up or on ink change (which is almost every time I use it).

I want an A3+ Printer at least as good as the Pro-10
Would anyone recommend a Canon or Epson Professional Printer?
For Canon the choice seems to be between Canon PIXMA PRO-200 A3 Plus Colour Photo Wireless Printer and a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 A3 Plus Colour Photo Wireless Printer
Epson I'm less familiar with. SureColor SC-P700 seems to be an option. Bigger tanks 25mk.
