Canon’s 1D Mark IV is real: Vincent Laforet, who shot the first videos using the 5D Mark II was the first to take out the 1D Mark IV, and the result, using entirely ambient light, is just astounding. https://gizmodo.com/a-taste-of-the-canon-5d-mark-iis-mindblowing-full-hd-vi-5052767 Click to viewThe basic specs of the camera are what was rumored: 1D body, 1.3x crop,…
Canon’s pro DSLRs are Holy Grail ancient at this point, so something’s gotta be coming soon: It might the 1D Mark IV, as early as tomorrow. People, inventory systems and invitations are talking. The rumored specs are for a 16MPish APS-H sensor (1.3x crop factor) with bursts of 10-12fps, 19-point autofocus system, and the same…
If you’ve used a Canon printer, you’re probably familiar with the bundled Easy-PhotoPrint software. They’ve now streamlined it for the iPhone interface, and the free app works with Canon’s newest wireless multifunction PIXMA printers. HP has had its own simple but effective iPrint app (iTunes Link) for a while now, and from first glance, Canon’s…
HP puffed its chest when announcing the Photosmart Premium web-connected touch-enabled printer, and I understand why. You can print coloring books, movie tickets and news reports without even owning a computer. It works, and works well. https://gizmodo.com/hp-photosmart-premium-with-touchsmart-web-is-the-worlds-5299801 The Gadget What the hell is it? It’s a $400 Wi-Fi printer all-in-one (yes, this includes fax). It…
This amazing video was shot by a Canon Vixio-HF camcorder attached to a hydrogen balloon launched by a small group of Edmonton radio enthusiasts on August 24. It’s believed to be the first amateur video taken at 107,145 feet. https://gizmodo.com/canon-vixia-hf-s11-camcorder-can-film-an-entire-day-of-5340725 The mission was dubbed BEAR-4 (Balloon Experiments with Amateur Radio), and used an 1800g balloon…
Microsoft is set to bombard us all with Windows 7 ads around the October 22nd launch—and director Marty Martin’s concept spots are setting the bar high. The spots are all the more impressive when you find out that they were shot with the Canon 5D Mark II for Microsoft on a tight 3-day deadline. Hopefully,…
Yep, it’s real. The Canon 7D is an 18-megapixel semi-pro DSLR that shoots 1080p video in 24—or 30—glorious frames per second for $1899, kicking Nikon’s previously unchallenged D300s where it hurts. But it’s also an odd little beast. https://gizmodo.com/nikon-d300s-dslr-adds-720p-hd-video-with-stereo-input-5326020 The 7D feels like Canon took the results of a survey they handed out to people…

We saw the poster and possible lenses for Canon’s EOS 7D yesterday, and now it looks like the floodgates are open. A photography forum has most of the details you’ll need, except the exact price and release date. https://gizmodo.com/supposed-canon-eos-7d-poster-and-lenses-turn-up-online-5348130 It’ll have a 18MP sensor, dual DIGIC 4 processors, ISO from 100 to 6400 (and some…
CanonRumors has what they claim are pictures of posters and lenses for the yet-to-be-confirmed Canon EOS 7D. Not much new information can be gleaned from the poster, but at least the lenses look nice. This isn’t the first time we’ve been teased with glimpses of the 7D, but now we at least have details on…
Nearly every other diver on my boat had some sort of photography rig. And not just simple lexan underwater cases, but imposing contraptions with powerful strobes and sturdy handles. I was a little bit intimidated gripping a small plastic mass. But once I got underwater and watched many of the divers struggling with their rigs,…
Don't get tricked into buying garbage you don't need.
The Canon Powershot D10 will never, ever fit into a pocket unless you are MC Hammer, circa 1990. That’s because it houses a telescoping lens in a bulging case, making it look like a sub. Still, shots are pretty. The Price: $329 The Waterproof-ness: Good down to 10 meters, making it suitable for light diving…
What’s $2700, has built-in flash, and comes with an EF 28-135mm lens for an extra $200? According to Best Buy inventory system and this image leaked in a forum, it’s the new Canon EOS 7D. [Canon Rumors and DPReview]
Here’s the rest of Canon’s new army of cameras—they don’t do anything crazy, like project baby photos or have an LCD up front take pictures of yourself, but they’re not too shabby. The G11 is ginormous, though. https://gizmodo.com/in-the-nikon-s1000pj-future-there-is-no-escape-from-ba-5329619 The G11’s vari-angle screen seems plenty bright, but it makes an already huge camera even huger when…
I thought Canon’s new G11 pro point-and-shoot—decked out with everything but HD video, depressingly—would make me drool the most, but I was wrong: Canon’s pocketable pro point-and-shoot, the S90 is fapfreakintastic. The design is exactly what I want in a high end point-and-shoot—it’s svelte, but not too puny, and the black metal finish feels sturdy,…

While others are investing in thousands in their dSLRs and Micro Four Thirds cameras, many normal folk pick up still-hefty point and shoots like the Canon SX120 ($250) and SX20 ($400)—both available this September. Canon PowerShot SX120 IS Digital Camera Not a bad pick-up. It features a 10MP sensor, 10x optical zoom (with image stabalization)…
Canon is popping out cameras faster than the Octomom today and the S90 is one of the most attractive kids. The Powershot S90 gets its small stature from Canon’s ELPH line, but its guts from the more advanced PowerShot G-series. https://gizmodo.com/canon-digital-elph-sd970-sd960-sd780-and-sd1200-point-5155513 A Powershot dressed up in an ELPH suit, Canon is aiming the point-and-shoot at…
Canon’s PowerShot G11, leaked yesterday, is their latest in smallish formfactor, RAW-capable cameras that will be available this October for $500. https://gizmodo.com/whats-going-on-canon-rumored-g11-specs-reveal-minimal-5340304 The G11 features the same 28mm lens with 5X zoom (28-140mm), but it actually trades the G10’s 14.7MP sensor with a 10MP CCD, said to have better performance in lowlight that, coupled with…
