You Wanted it, and Canon Is Delivering. The PC-E2 is Coming This Week

This is pointless to use with a Canon camera. Without a Sony sensor, how can I pull the shadows up in post enough after shooting through this thing?

I'll buy one to catch all the EOS 20D shadow detail oozing out of the camera. Brilliant!

I actually knew something like this existed and was looking into it for my 70D. I hate how bug and bulky camera backpacks often are and wanted to use my regular backpack but witout an insert. this is a great way to protect your cam.

I'm going to order 20 of these, test them thoroughly and return the 19 that aren't up to spec.

I guess this is officially how Canon nerfs it's cameras. :-X

When I travel for work with just my 5D3 + (35 f/2 IS or 28 f/2.8 IS) onboard as a walkabout option if there's any free time, I just wrap it in a fleecy winter hat. Works just fine.

I use the LensCoat neoprene covers, they work very well. I have one for just the 1D X body (although it's a great fit for the body + 40/2.8 pancake), and one for body+lens (works with the 24-70/2.8 and similar).

LOL. I hope the sharp center doesn't scratch your camera!

Jokes aside, in Japan using traditional Japanese wrapping cloth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furoshiki (Furoshiki) is quite common and is used as a symbol of respect when delivering valuable gifts to your guests. Even though awkward, the PC-E2 product concept is based on this idea, I guess.

Effing A!!!!! ...I should be able to get a great deal on PC-E1 now, while there's still some inventory left....

So the Japanese will be able to wrap the 1DxII boxes when they present them as gifts! Nice ;D ;D ;D

Also, on the 'fun products you didn't need' tip, MindShift offers this gem:

Yes. It's a tiny packable tarp to keep your landscape/wildlife gear clean and dry.

Neat idea until you consider how inexpensive a personal tent footprint is at REI, or a tarp at Home Depot / Lowe's + intelligent application of scissors. :

Yes, but imagine if someone out in the wilderness sees you putting your expensive camera and L lenses on a generic box store tarp?

Am I the only one who seems to remember the "good old days" when practically everyone would just cover their camera in garbage bags?
And I haven't even owned an SLR for more than five years yet.

The real question is how Canon will differentiate artificially limit nerf the PC-E2 to protect sales of their forthcoming PC-L1, the protective cloth specifically designed for bodies with L-series lenses attached.

They will probably add holes in it for breathability.

Damn, the 1D X isn't on the list of compatible cameras. My hopes are dashed. Sony, here I come........

What do you guys think, should I buy this now or wait for the PC-E3? Someone already mentioned this has soft corners and not compatible with 1D X.

Given Canon's notoriously slow pace of innovation, you may need to wait several years for the MkIII, and even then, the improvements will be minor. Undoubtedly the PC-E2 will have poor Dust Removal, and I would not expect that critical characteristic to improve much, Canon seems to be at the limit of their technology.

I just checked the specs, and this thing even doesn't have Dual SD slots. Stupid Canon!!
I'm gonna sell all my Canon gear! Stupid, so stupid..

And there I thought Canon is making a Perspective Control lens with 1mm focal length...
