LensRentals.com is now shipping the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the Magic Lantern ‘hack’ pre-installed. The most notable feature gained by using Magic Lantern on the 5D Mark III is Raw video support, which offers much better video quality than on the ‘stock’ camera. The rest of the Magic Lantern feature set is also available, including focus peaking, an intervalometer, too many movie enhancements to list, plus the DR improvement that we reported on last month.

Canon has created a ‘Facebook ready’ variant of its social-media-focused PowerShot N digital camera. The ‘Facebook ready’ version will only be available directly from Canon (in the US, at least) and has a dedicated Facebook connect button in the place of the connect-to-device one on the standard N. Once the camera has been taught your login details, you can upload images with a choice of who gets to see them, once posted. The 1/2.3″ 12MP sensor camera will cost $ 299.

Canon unveils PowerShot SX510 HS and SX170 IS 16MP superzooms

22 Aug

Canon has announced its PowerShot SX510 and SX170 superzoom digital cameras. The PowerShot SX510 HS now uses a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor (versus a 16MP CCD on its predecessor), hence the new ‘HS’ designation. It offers Wi-Fi connectivity and what’s almost certainly the same 24-720mm equivalent optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD and Full HD video. The SX170 is essentially the same as its SX160 that came before it, with a 16x optical zoom and 16 megapixel CCD, though it’s no longer powered by AA-batteries.

22 Aug

Canon has released a version of its EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 lens that uses its STM stepping motor. STM lenses are designed for movie recording, with the goal of providing smooth and silent focusing. Unlike its predecessor, the STM version of the 55-250 has internal focusing. You’ll be able to pick up the 55-250 STM lens in late September for $ 350. It’s also a safe bet that the 55-250 STM will come bundled with Canon DSLRs in the near future.

16 Aug

70Dnews1.jpg

Following last week’s update to the Canon EOS 70D preview, we’ve been spending a little more time with the camera to get a feel for its new Dual Pixel CMOS phase-detect autofocus system. What we’ve seen so far has impressed us: in live view the camera offers very responsive AF, eliminating the annoying focus seek we’ve seen in past models. We have a complete rundown, with samples, on how the Dual Pixel AF performs in both live view and movie mode, as well as a brief studio and low light analysis. Click through to read our review-in-progress.

Canon announces unique Vixia Mini camcorder with fisheye lens

01 Aug

VIXIA-Mini-5main2.png

Looking more like a projector than a camera, the Canon Vixia Mini made its debut today, its aim to serve bloggers, youtubers and apparently guitarists. Its 16.8mm equivalent fisheye lens is designed to capture video and stills with a unique perspective, and users can switch from wide to close-up mode while recording for an interesting live ‘cut’ effect, while maintaining Full HD video recording. Its built-in touch-sensitive LCD flips to face forward or backward, and a tripod mount can hold the device firmly in place. Click through for more information, and images.

We just posted our Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 review. Canon’s smallest SLR to date was built to take on mirrorless cameras while maintaining the optical viewfinder and compatibility with the company’s existing suite of EF and EF-S lenses. We put it through its paces in a busy family environment to see how well it held up in the type of setting it’s most likely to encounter. Click through for our review.
