    Canon Teaser Appears in Korea

    Aside from the Winter Olympics and a design "enhancement", as suggested by others, the only other thing I can think of that is white and means a lot to Canon, is their lenses. I highly doubt it, but maybe this is a body given the White L treatment? I think we need some salt.

    Canon France Denies Large Sensor Compacts

    It appears their web developers have got a pay rise, as they were very efficient in removing the offending material. You will notice Compact APS and 24x36 have now disappeared.

    Canon EOS 100D Detailed Specs Appear

    EF-S not compatible with full frame. Definitely not full frame. That would be crazy.

    Are there 39mp & 50mp+ Test Bodies in the Wild? [CR1]

    One could always take multiple shots with the 2xTC and stitch together. :P See: http://www.shen-hao.com/PRODUCTSabout.aspx?i=1012&id=n3 and DSC3212 on Vimeo. EDIT: Video doesn't embed properly, so click the link at the bottom.

    Comparing 6D with 5D3

    This is not true. Adapted screens can be fitted to the 5D Mark III by simply removing two small screws. There are a limited number of suppliers for the screens that, while not as easy to replace as in the 1Dx, or in fact the consumer APS-C devices, take no more than ten minutes to swap.

    Why are flash sync shutter speeds getting worse?

    I agree. Yet another reason shooting film is still relevant and vital. Not only can I sync a flash to 1/500, but I can even handhold a Bronica SQ-Ai at 1/15 and still get a sharp shot, too.

    5D Mark III Firmware?

    I really don't see this as a problem given you can remap and switch it with another button... As for the lights - yeah, someone stuffed up!

    smashed 24-105 F4 L Lens front element

    I think that is because there are eighteen elements and not just the one you damaged. So really, 18x£200 - they should be charging £3600!!? Good to hear you are getting it fixed!

    EF-M lens

    No, they will only fit the EOS-M and any other camera with a flange focal distance greater than that of the EOS-M (18mm). The lenses would have to sit inside the camera and even if they could fit, would collide with the mirror.

    More Big Megapixel Talk

    What mount would a FF mirrorless use, anyway? The only Canon mount that will work would be the EF mount, as it is the only one that would provide a large enough image circle; however, in order to have it focus, you'd need to maintain the existing flange focal distance, which would also do away...

    Canon Rebel T4i/650 Recall (Again)

    This is evident on my 500D from five years ago (I'm guessing the same problem as described). A white powder has leeched from it since the day I got it. The camera still seems to take photos. :P

    If Canon wants to kill off Nikon/Sony/Pentax drop APS-C and Go APS-H

    The mirror would collide with the rear element of the majority of EF-S lenses, particularly the wides. Third-party lenses tend to have much larger image circles and also greater clearance and can be retro-fitted.

    If Canon wants to kill off Nikon/Sony/Pentax drop APS-C and Go APS-H

    While the EF mount can accommodate a much larger image circle than most EF lenses currently provide, using a square sensor would indeed only be possible with APS-H and not full-frame, without users having to invest in new glass. The image circle for "APS-H" 28x28 would equate to ~40mm, while...

    Video Resolution Comparison: 5D Mark III vs. Nikon D800

    Indeed. And the in-camera AA filter, while reducing moire, also results in a loss of actuance, but when comparing on a chart as above, also increases the perceived resolution within certain constrains. You can see an example of this at 5, 6 and 7 of the diagonal lines. Additionally, I was...

    Insect juices do wonders for flare reduction. :P

    Video Resolution Comparison: 5D Mark III vs. Nikon D800

    Not a huge difference, though real world frames seem to say otherwise in some reviews. The main difference I can see here is the moire, where the D800 fails miserably. Personally, losing that bit of sharpness for less moire probably cancels out the difference. That and I don't have to invest in...

    Canon EOS M Specs

    Let me re-quote myself: If we had a couple of really simple lens designs, even if only manual focus, I think this could still be considered pocketable. The OM-D body is much larger (if it was full-frame, I'd forgive them). I personally don't mind carrying around large cameras, as I still use...

    Canon EOS M Specs

    Um, if they were to release an EVF, I'm not sure a pop-up in that position would work. They could have a side-mounted one, though. Preferably one that swivels so that you can bounce it or some white card or a reflector at close range.
