Canon is assuredly the brand most commonly found in the hands of the wildlife photographers (professionals as well as amateurs). Of course, this is a direct product of the strong presence of Canon on the market for digital SLR photography, but the diversity of the offer from the red brand allowed to build solutions perfectly…
Canon first proposed it in Japan, It comes to the United States now. On the Canon EOS 7D and EOS 5D MkII, it will soon be possible to return the camera to Canon repair services to have a new dial installed with a central lock button. What seems pretty simple could well be a revolution…

Even for Canon, next September will see the Photokina show in Koln (Germany). It is often the occasion when brands of photo manufacturers launch the photo cameras they expect will be doing the big sales of the end of the year (a period that is really good for the amateur photography market).

I found a very good and very detailed field test of the Canon EOS 7D. Since it is not often that you will find such an in-depth analysis by a pro-photographer (Nature Photographer Ole Jørgen Liodden from Norway) ready to disclose so much information, I wanted to share it with you. Weather sealing In the…
I just updated the tests/reviews in the database of the SLR photo cameras, mostly for the Pentax and Samsung cameras (and some Nikon, Sony, Canon, too).
We may have to group them since the firmware updates sometimes happen nearly at the same time. The latest ones are: Sony Alpha series (A380, A330 & A230): Mac, Windows (Sony Europe) Canon EOS 7D v1.1.0 (to correct an issue where a previous image may partly superimpose itself on the next, in continuous shooting): Instructions…

There is a bizarre rush for visibility in the online shops all around the web. I start to feel that most of them are actual fakes.

Anyway, here are the (rumoured) features: 15.1MP sensor (no resolution changes, improved IQ?) New 13 Point AF 1080p Movie Mode Continuous…

This is as true for photo hardware and software as for the other markets (maybe it’s worse for cars…) Now, this has a clear…
The Canon teaser known as the “moon teaser” is progressing slowly toward complete disclosure of what will be the next evolution in dSLR : Destined evolution. But still no clue as to exactly what camera will be disclosed. The follower of the Canon EOS 5D? Some other camera?
