    We were patiently waiting the next camera in the Canon EOS 5D series, with an expected EOS 5D MkIII. But we were not certain of its reality.

  • Canon surprise on 3rd November

    Canon just sent an invitation for a revolutionary event to their best press contacts in the US. The only problem: Nobody really knows what it’s about.
