  • Canon EOS 5D Mark III hands-on preview and video

    preview.png

    We’ve had a chance to handle Canon’s EOS 5D Mark III 22MP HD DSLR and have prepared a detailed preview and video. The specifications may initially look a little familiar but almost every component has been updated or improved. It gains most of its ergonomics from the EOS 7D but inherits the sophisticated 61-point AF system from the EOS-1D X. It also comes with a range of movie-focused features and promises of a 2-stop improvement in low-light performance. The camera will be available from the end of March 2012.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark III low-light ISO series samples

    5diii-isogallery.jpg

    We’ve had a chance to prepare a set of full-resolution studio-based JPEG samples from a pre-production Canon EOS 5D Mark III, at all available ISOs from 50 to 102,800. We’ve chosen to shoot under low level halogen lighting, which provides a stern test of the camera’s sensor and noise reduction systems. Click through to explore what the camera can deliver.

  • Canon G1 X preview updated, ISO samples added, gallery to come

    G1X.jpg

    We’ve spent a bit more time with the Canon PowerShot G1 X, and will be publishing a samples gallery from a pre-production camera in the near future. In the meantime, we’ve taken the chance to expand our preview based on our further experience and some real-world shooting with the camera. This includes observations about its behavior and a chart showing the camera’s maximum aperture at key focal lengths. If you have any burning questions about the camera’s behavior, write a comment and we’ll do our best to answer when we publish our samples gallery (but do please read the updated preview first, to see if the answer’s there). [Updated with studio images at all ISO settings – with real world shots coming on Monday]

  • Just Posted: Canon PowerShot G1 X samples gallery

    G1XSamples.jpg

    Just Posted: We’ve spent a couple of days shooting with a pre-production Canon PowerShot G1 X. We’ve prepared a 30 image gallery, shot in a range of lighting conditions and using a variety of focal lengths, ISO settings and apertures, in addition to the studio examples we’ve already posted. The G1 X may look like an existing G-series compact but fits a near DSLR-sized sensor into its slightly brick-like body. So what does this mean for image quality and does its f/5.8 maximum aperture at the long end of the zoom rob it of its low-light potential? Click here to judge for yourselves.

  • Preview: Canon PowerShot G1X large sensor zoom compact

    canon_g1x.png

    Just Posted: Our hands-on preview of the Canon G1 X large sensor zoom compact. Canon is swimming against the tide somewhat with the G1 X – a camera that embraces the large-sensors used by most mirrorless cameras, but foregoing the interchangeable lenses to create a relatively compact all-rounder. The camera combines a 28-112mm equivalent, F2.8-5.8 stabilized zoom with a 14MP sensor just a fraction smaller than those in Canon’s DSLRs. Could this be the photographers’ compact that we always wanted the G series to be? Read our preview to find out.
