Canon announced three new SLR lenses last night, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM. Designed for, “harsh and rigorous conditions,” the new 24-70mm f/2.8L has improved weather-sealing, durability and optics, including new UD elements, a Super UD element and new lens coatings. The two wide-angle primes both add Canon’s IS Optical Image Stabilization [...]

Canon PowerShot D20 – Smaller Rugged, Outdoor Camera Adds GPS And HD Video
Posted by Photo-John on February 7, 2012 · 0 Comment
It’s been about three years since Canon introduced their first waterproof, shockproof digital camera, the PowerShot D10 (learn more about the Canon PowerShot D10). A lot of new rugged waterproof cameras have become available since then and I’ve been wondering if and when Canon would update the D10. Well, last night Canon announced the PowerShot D20, a completely redesigned waterproof, shockproof [...]

What’s In My Camera Bag Video – Photo-John’s Ski Pack
Posted by Photo-John on January 11, 2012 · 0 Comment
This is a project I’ve wanted to do for a long time – a series of “What’s In My Camera Bag” videos, featuring different kinds of pro photographers and their gear. Seeing what we carry in our camera bags and backpacks gives a lot of insight into how we shoot and what’s necessary to get the job done. This video is just the first of many. A lot of my work is backcountry action sports [...]
Canon PowerShot G1 X Brings Mirrorless Image Quality To G-Series
Posted by Photo-John on January 9, 2012 · 0 Comment
Canon introduced a surprising new high-end compact camera today, the 14.3-megapixel PowerShot G1 X. I’ve been criticizing Canon’s high-end G-Series compact cameras for the past couple of years. I believe that with the current interchangeable lens camera options out there, a camera the size of the Canon G12 should have better image quality and changeable lenses. But I am not going to criticize the [...]

The Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS is one of the best-selling point-and-shoot digital cameras right now. It has a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor with Canon’s HS system, a combination of sensor technology and image processing that Canon says delivers improved low light photo quality.

Canon 70-300mm L IS Pro Zoom Lens – Featured User Review
Posted by Photo-John on November 23, 2011 · 0 Comment
For outdoor photographers like me, the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS pro zoom lens was very exciting when it was announced last summer (2010). It offers the reach of a 300mm zoom lens in a lighter, pro-quality, backcountry-friendly package. And from all reports, the image quality and auto focus performance are both very good. At about US $1500, it’s not a cheap lens, but it’s not unreasonable [...]

The Canon G-Series cameras have long been among the most popular compact digital cameras – especially for serious photographers who want something small, light and powerful to compliment their digital SLR gear.

It’s a Canon HS System camera with a large 1/1.7-inch 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, 24-120mm f/2.0-5.9 zoom lens (35mm equivalent), RAW shooting, full HD video, manual exposure [...]

Canon Announces EOS C300 Pro Video Camera
Posted by Photo-John on November 4, 2011 · 0 Comment
Last night, Canon announced two new professional, interchangeable lens video cameras. These aren’t the shoulder-mounted camcorders that most people think of when they think of high-end video. Rather, Canon’s new Cinema EOS System is based on the recent HD DSLR video revolution – digital SLRs that can also capture HD video. The main announcement was for the Canon EOS C300 interchangeable-lens [...]

If you’re looking for a versatile camera that can do it all and won’t break the bank or your arm, the new 12-megapixel Canon PowerShot SX40 HS superzoom might be the camera for you. It was just introduced last month so I made sure to check it out when I was in New York last week for the PhotoPlus Expo.

Canon EOS-1D X – First Impressions
Posted by Photo-John on October 31, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Canon EOS-1D X is the first full-frame digital SLR to be introduced since the Nikon D3s, exactly two years ago. The 1D X was announced two weeks ago but very few people actually got to see it in person so I was psyched to go to the PhotoPlus Expo and a Canon intro event in New York City last week. I got to see the camera in person, ask more questions and even play with it a bit. This article [...]

Canon EOS-1D X Merges Speed, Image Quality and Video
Posted by Photo-John on October 17, 2011 · 0 Comment
It’s easy to get jaded when you write about digital cameras. The lifecycle of most is about 6 months and after a while they start to blur together. But when Canon introduces a new flagship EOS-1D body – especially one that’s supposed to replace the four-year-old top dog EOS-1Ds Mark III – I expect big things. The good news is it looks like Canon is delivering with this [...]

Canon EOS 600D – Featured User Review
Posted by Photo-John on October 11, 2011 · 0 Comment
With an excellent feature-set and a very friendly price, the Canon EOS Rebel 600D (called the EOS Rebel T3i in the US) has been one of the most popular and best-selling cameras in 2011. So I was happy to see this fine user review by community member Anthony Reiss. It gives me a chance to give the T3i / 600D some well-deserved extra attention.
If you own the Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i, please share [...]

Posted by Photo-John on August 23, 2011 · 0 Comment
Canon announced three new compact PowerShot digital cameras today. The most exciting of the three – to me, anyway – is the new Canon PowerShot ELPH 510 HS pocket superzoom. I’m really into pocket superzoom cameras and I believe this is the first superzoom Canon has included in their ultra-compact ELPH point-and-shoot camera line. The 12-megapixel PowerShot ELPH 510 HS shoots 1080p [...]

The Aurora Borealis As You’ve Never Seen It
Posted by Patrick Hall Admin on March 23, 2011 · 0 Comment
When I tell people that I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, everyone always asks me what it's like to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). I always try to explain how it looks by relating it to a laser show or smoke streams but I've never found a way to describe it to someone who hasn't seen it for themselves. Two days ago Terje Sorgjerd created the best visual representation of the Aurora Borealis [...]

This is our first user review for the latest version of Canon’s 70-200mm pro workhorse zoom lens. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM zoom was a significant update (Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II announcement) to what was already an excellent lens and killerbee gives it a lot of praise in his well-written, detailed review.
