I have the feeling it’s been years that we have been talking about the paradigm change in serious photography, with the change from the good old pentaprism and its reflex mirror to fully electronic mirrorless systems. World’s two biggest camera makers (apart from Apple of course), Canon and Nikon, for years tried to avoid the […]
One could argue that with arrival of the Canon EOS M3, the world’s imaging technology leader is finally taking mirrorless a bit more seriously, as suggested by Damien Demolder’s op-ed on DP Review. Right, that rather sounds like wishful thinking. The simple fact that the M3 won’t be available in the U.S. suggests the camera […]
By BENGT NYMAN If you stay within your choice of camera brand there is little reason to pay much attention to a small detail called a lens mount. It is a handy little feature that lets you easily and quickly change the lens, should you want to. Most manufacturers have their own designs, maybe several, […]
The Wall Street Journal blames Nikon’s poor overall performance on missing the mirrorless boat. “Nikon needs to start breaking some mirrors,” the paper says. “That isn’t usually seen as a way to good fortune, but mirrors — specifically, the ones that add bulk to its high-end SLR cameras — are one of Nikon’s biggest problems […]
We soon reach a point where we can’t hold those darn cameras anymore! Now we get world’s smallest and lightest DSLR. Seriously, Canon gives the camera miniaturization trend another kick-start with the unveiling of the EOS 100D/SL1. Impressively small, it’s essentially a shrunken down Rebel. Is the 100D/SL1 a broad hint by Canon that Micro […]
It took Canon nearly four years to come up with an answer to Olympus’ and Panasonic’s first digital mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system announced in August 2008, a.k.a. Micro Four Thirds. Sony and Nikon followed suit. Finally Canon joins the mirrorless market with the Canon EOS M and its 18MP APS-C hybrid CMOS sensor (specs). […]
Well the Canon EOS M is out of the bag. Canon did a great job plugging leaks — until three days before the official announcement day on July 23, 2012. You’ll get all the juicy news, analyses, first hands-on reviews and preorder information right here on THEME. Canon usually know what they’re doing. And so […]
Sooner or later Canon has to jump into the mirrorless fray. Sure they’re losing market share. On the other hand they maneuvered themselves into a comfortable position: observe the competition’s trial and errors, learn from others’ mistakes — and proceed from there with a lineup hopefully mature, thought-out and unique enough right from the start.
