    Canon Says Higher Resolution Sensors Are Coming Soon

    Maeda only said, "In the very near future you can expect us to show something in terms of mirrorless and also a higher resolution sensor." Anything higher than their current max 22MP is still higher... I hope they won't be as conservative on this "something"... Also it sounds like this Canon...

    Canon EF 11-24 f/2.8L Coming [CR1]

    Don't you guys think it's an approach that Canon usually gets its f/2.8 without IS (e.g 16-25/2.8, 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8 ) out the door first? That can showcase what they can achieve. Then sometime later they release their f/4 IS variants (e.g. 16-35/4 IS, 24-70/4 IS, 70-200/4 IS) to suit...

    Choosing the right tripod

    When they announced this 2 months ago, I was excited and looking for review. Finally, there was this - http://www.scvphotoideas.com/2013/08/manfrotto-q6-top-lock-qr-adaptor.html "...Therefore, I may come to the conclusion that Manfrotto has succeeded once again in introducing a proprietary...

    A Bit of Mirrorless Informaton [CR3]

    That feature (native interchangeability, with adapter or not, with EF lenses) alone is big enough for event/wedding photogs to get it as a backup camera for its light weight and compact size.

    Best 5d3 custom function AF point selection quick!

    Does anyone know if we can do 1-step control over AF Area Selection Mode (vs. 2-step control on p. 73)? I want to have a quick way to switch between One-Shot AF (coupled with Single-Point AF) AI Servo AF (associated with AF Point Expansion). With a configured DOF button to toggle (technically...

    *UPDATE* Canon EOS 5D Mark III Stock Delayed? [CR1]

    Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Recall? No matter how few owners there are, if that problem exists and it's a mechanical problem that needs to be fixed in the camera, they have to recall everything out there right? It doesn't make sense to me if they just recall from those who have the lenses in...

    *UPDATE* Canon EOS 5D Mark III Stock Delayed? [CR1]

    Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Recall? That sounds like it as it's the only issue Canon officially acknowledged so far for 5D3. The other announced issue with DPP is only about the software itself.

    Canon EOS-1D X & EF 24-70 f/2.8L II Delays Officially Confirmed

    Given the hint of their announced reason of delay (...due to a delay to the start of mass production...), I guess they should have produced / delivered enough units of 1D X to Olympics journalists. It sounds like the delay just affects the mass production for general public, while they might...
