I'm loving this 'Year of the Lens' so far
Do you believe every ... yearly CR thread regarding 35mm 1.4L II, 100-400 L II etc? I don't. They are so obviously nonsense... Sorry CR 99.9% of your site rocks but some specific "new lens" threads of yours belong to the other 0.1% (they are so NL level... )

Actually I believe that the threads relating to 35 L II and the 100-400L II are created twice every quarter. Of course it is usually nothing short of arrant nonsense but it's fun while we are at it!

Back on topic, Canon does seem to giving importance to the compact segment where everyone seems to be losing market share to smartphones. IMHO, it is a losing battle but then they may try some new tech in the compact segment only for it to filter into the DSLR products.

No mirrorless iteration though ... I would have thought of an update to the EOS-M but then probably not.

BTW, what is it with the EVF (External View Finder)? Will this be the same as an Electronic View-Finder? Just wondering whether Canon will release a FW update allowing the flash hotshoe to communicate with the EVF making them usable for DSLRs / EOS-M. That said, I personally wouldn't bother with it unless it gives me focus peaking.

Tron, I seriously would consider laughing now and then, maybe at least a smile. Helps.

well.. i guess some people think canon should release a new lens every day or week 2014.

and if canon would have announced all lenses in the first 6 weeks of this year they would spend the remaining 10 month complaining that there are no more announcements.

well canon can´t do it right...

really im so sick of reading these brainless and childish complains.... get out... get a job... take photos. :p

I got a new lens a month ago, and I'm still learning how to use it properly....I can't imagine a lens per week... Who would buy that many lenses... and more importantly, how would you carry them? :)

Maybe it's because people were thinking that events like the CP+ are exactly the sort of occasion in which to announce new lenses, especially if you consider that they would start shipping at a later stage.

Anyway... the external EVF is for the G1X2 or will be hotshoe-compatible with other Canon DSLR? It's going to make wonders with manual focus lenses.

If one can afford one lens per month, one would use one's staff to carry one's lenses for one ;)

"Powershot G1 X II" -could naming get any worse? I guessing it won't be called that.

How about the PowerShot G1 Y?

traveller said:
As for the "EVF-DC1 (External Viewfinder)", I feel like I've entered some sort of timewarp and ended up in 2009, when people may have given a hoot.

Actually, even then nobody gave a hoot ... just ask Panasonic and Olympus.
