Canon EOS Rebel T4i and EF 40mm f 2.8 lens leaked
Photo Rumors has the info on the new Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D and a new EF 40mm F2.8 lens. I want to know how much that 40MM lens is, as that is a pretty fast lens, and a bit wider than the 50mm I have.
Engadget hands on with the Canon C500
Engagedget has a nice little hands on with Canon’s new 4K camera, which is noticeably heavier than it’s 1080 counterpart the C300. Check out the video.
Canon Announced EOS-1D C 4K DSLR
Electonista has this story, about the new 4K DSLR from Canon. It shoots 4K 4096×2160 video at 24 FPS 8 bit 4:2:2 video. It has an 18.1 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with a maximum ISO of 25,600 and 12FPS continuos shooting like the EOS 1D X it is based on.
With video it shoots 4K with the full sensor, but 1080 can either be the full sensor for full sharpness and 35MM equivelency, or it can use a middle portion which allows for 60P frame rates.
The LCS can remain on even with external HDMI attached, and it has a headphone jack as well.
It will be released in 2012, but has not been given a price yet.
Sure no PL mount, but very exciting. If only they would move some of this tech to lower end cameras as well.
Canon C500 with 4K
Electronista actually has the info on this, but Canon has announced a higher end big daddy to the C300, the C500 and C500PL. They both output 10 bit uncompressed RAW footage and simultaneously records 50Mbps HD proxy video to CF cards for easy offline editing (a brilliant idea). It has a super 35MM equivalent CMOS sensor which is 8.85 megapixels.
It has cinema 4L 4096×2160 as well as 3840×2160 for 4k TV, though only records 1080 to the dual CF cards. It does 0-60FPS in 12 bit RGB 4:4:$ or at 10bit YCrRb 4:22 it can go up to 120 FPS.
No pricing has been announced, but this makes Canon a serious contender, as well as having the EOS facility in Los Angeles for support.
Canon intros 600EX-RT wirlress Speedlite
CanonRumors has the news on Canon’s new 600EX-RT Speedlite with wireless transmitter built in! Very very cool! They should have done this ages ago, but it is brilliant to have this built in.
Canon has released the EOS 5D Mark III
Canon has finally released the new flagship EOS 5D Mark III. This has many new video specific additions and better low light functionality for this full frame sensor camera.
Check out a video review over at DPReview. And of course why Stu at Prolost just pre-ordered one, which is a great read for all people interested in DSLR video. And Photorumors has a great article on the insides of the camera.
I would love one, but can’t afford it, or the move to full frame from APC-C as I have too many lenses currently invested (though some are full sized lenses already).
