<p>It was a relatively eventful week for Canon, from new lenses, to new firmware, to a new service advisory.</p>
<p><strong>New Lens</strong>
<a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2015/05/canon-u-s-a-introduces-new-ef-50mm-f1-8-stm-lens/" target="_blank">Canon Introduces the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM</a> along with a new lens hood and protective filter designed for it. We all seem to be pleasantly surprised that the price of the lens is $125 USD.</p>
<p>While the optical performance looks to be similar, the build, increase in aperture blades and STM upgrade makes this lens a worthy upgrade to the EF 50mm f/1.8 II.</p>

<p><strong>Canon XC10 Review… and it’s not pretty.
</strong>Cinema5D did the <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2015/05/review-canon-xc10-with-footage/" target="_blank">first review of the upcoming XC10 video camera</a>, and there wasn’t a lot of love for the camera. Especially when the $2499 USD price tag is considered. If there are more reviews like this, expect to see big price drops fairly quickly.</p>
