    Canon announces the VIXIA HF G50 4K UHD Video Camcorder

    These aren't budget camcorders. I own a Vixia HF G20 and it's an absolute workhorse. Great IQ even in low-light.

    A New EF 70-200mm is Coming in 2018 [CR3]

    It is indeed very sharp but the newest version from Nikon indicates it can be sharper still, especially in mid-frame and edges of the frame. Here's a comparison Roger did at Lens Rentals: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2016/11/nikon-70-200mm-f2-8e-fl-ed-af-s-vr-mtf-tests/

    Why I Switched from Sony to Canon by Armando Ferreira

    4K streaming requires 15-25 Mbps/sec. According to the FCC's most recent Broadband Progress Report, 37% of Americans have active broadband internet connections of 25Mbps or more.

    Why I Switched from Sony to Canon by Armando Ferreira

    Why I Switched from Sony to Canon by Armando Ferreira

    Sony hasn't added PDAF to their A7s line yet - it's expected in the next iteration, probably announced in a few months at NAB. Here's how it compares to Canon's dual pixel AF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_6HRmxKa9g

    Ended: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV $2899 (Reg $3499)

    Re: Cyber Monday: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV $2899 (Reg $3499) The Mark III was a huge upgrade in AF capability though. Dual-pixel on the IV is a big upgrade as well but not for general photography since the IV doesn't use it outside of LV.

    5D4 Sensor Defect Discovered

    This isn't an uncommon issue, although the degree to which it affects the image can vary. I just tried it on my Nikon D7200 (Toshiba APS-C sensor with one of the highest DR available today) and see similar blooming affects. Here's a full size image, shot raw and pushed +5EV in LR CC...

    Canon Looking to Acquire Imaging Companies for Growth? [CR2]

    I would venture to guess that Canon's interest in Sigma is more about taking out a competitor that is offering great lenses at low prices rather than to get Sigma's technology or manufacturing/labor resources.

    New Rebel & EF 11-24 f/4L USM Coming Shortly

    Re: New Rebel & EF 11-24 f/4L USM Coming Shortly I read. An 11mm f/2.8 would be preferable to a 11mm f/4 for astro, or astro nightscapes if that term is more agreeable.
