Canon XA30 and XA35 camcorders

Canon XA35
Canon announced the Canon XA30 and XA35 camcorders. Both has a 1/2.8″ newly developed sensor, 20x zoom lens (26.8-576mm equivalent) with 5 axis OIS stabilizer and intelligent stabilizer as well, 2 SD cards. The cameras can record fast and slow motion as well (x2 – x1200), has dual band Wifi, and 3.5″ OLED touchscreen. The price of the cams is 2499 and 2999 USD respectively.

Full frame mirrorless Canon can come

As I predicted long ago there are more and more rumors about the new Full Frame mirrorless Canon camera. According to rumors it will have Ef-M mount as well (new lenses needed as well). Before that an enthusiast Canon camera will arrive, which according to the interview with Canon’s managing director Masaeda Maeda “you will really like”.

Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art lenses is coming

See in more detail at the bottom of the front page.

Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4

New Zeiss lens for Canon and Nikon mount. See in more detail at the bottom of the front page.

120 Mpix Canon sensor

Seems Canon wants to develop a 120 Megapixel sensor (Full frame). Those who bought the latest 50.6 megapixel Canon 5ds and Canon 5ds R cameras will be happy to sell them.. The camera produce more than 200 MB Raw files.

Dxo measured the new 50mm f/1.8 stm lens

c50

The numbers are slightly different for the two lens. The new Stm is brighter, has less chromatic aberration, and distortion but the to (darker borders) in the corners a little higher.

Tamron Sp 35mm f/1.8 di vc USD Tamron Sp 45mm f/1.8 di vc USD

tamron 35mm
Two new Tamron prime lenses can come in the near future on Canon, Nikon, Sony mounts. It seems very interesting, new stabilized prime lenses with ultrasonic focus from Tamron. The Sony version is non-stabilized. The initial price of the Full frame lens is 599 USD.

The minimal focusing distance of the lenses is 20cm (7.9″) and 29cm (11.4″), the filter thread is 67mm for both lenses. The aperture can be adjusted between f/1.8 and f/16 on both lenses. The weight of the lenses are 479 and 539 gramm.

The price and the focal length is both shows these lenses meant for FF cameras. This focal length is a wide angle in Full frame. So this is a classic photojournalism lens focal length. It is interesting Tamron opens opportunities with the 150-600mm lens, how this prime lenses will perform ? If I can suggest a good 24mm, a 16mm for crop and a 400mm f/5.6 500mm f/5.6 or 600mm f/8 would be very interesting if we speaking about prime lenses.

First picture about the Canon 35mm f/1.4 II

Japan website digicame-info shows the first picture about the Canon 35mm f/1.4 II.
Canon 35mm 1.4 II
The new lens has 14 lenses in 11 groups, has two asperical elements, and UD elements as well. The lens has a Blue spectrum refractive optics. This helps to reduce chromatic aberration. The weight of the lens is 760g (1.675 lbs.) has a filter diameter of 72mm and has 9 aperture blades. The lens is water sealed and has fluorine and SWC coatings. The length of the lens is 105 and a half millimeter the diameter of the lens is 80mm.

Latest Canon rumors

Seems that the Canon 5ds and 5ds R cameras was a massive success to Canon. DXo measured the new cameras and these cameras got numbers almost identical to the FF Canon 6d which is interesting because it has the same sized pixels as the Canon 7d II (20 megapixel). The dynamic range is even better. So I imagine the new rumored 75 megapixel camera has something to do with reality. Marketing, marketing. Two lines below 2 megapixel camera as a sensation…

As we suggested before there is a rumor about the new Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 is II lens.

Canon EOS M4

The Canon EOS M4 is rumored to come in 2016 Worldwide. (Several earlier models was not saled in US.) I guess it will have the new 24 megapixel sensor. It is also rumored that Canon will concentrate more on these Milc cameras in the future.

Canon camera with ISo 4,000,000 for 30,000 USD

New Canon ME20F-SH camera can record in 1080i in extreme darkness. The 35mm sensor and the low resolution lets the camera to record in such high ISO.

DXO measured the Canon 750 / 760d cameras

Good news that the sensor are now similar to the 7d/70d sensor even has a better dynamic range of 12 EV. Color depth 22.7 bits, dynamic range: 12 EV, High iso performance: 919.
