Instax Mini LiPlay

Courtesy of Nokishita, we now know how Fujifilm is going to answer to Canon’s launch of the IVY CLIQ+. It’s the Fujifilm Instax mini LiPlay.

High Resolution Canon EOS R Model Featuring 75MP Sensor? [CW3]

Canon Eos R Firmware Update

We’re told that the upcoming, high resolution EOS R camera might feature a 75MP sensor.

As we repeatedly wrote, we expect Canon to announce a high resolution EOS R model somewhen in Fall 2019. There have been suggestions Canon might feature IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation) on their high resolution EOS R camera. We take this with a grain of salt, given we are talking about Canon here.

We think it’s unlikely we will see a Canon full frame mirrorless camera with IBIS anytime soon. However, there are patent applications by Canon dealing with IBIS technology, and Canon execs are also slowly starting to admit Canon is working on IBIS.

The high resolution Canon EOS R camera might well replace the EOS 5Ds/5Ds R cameras. In other words: Canon might opt to offer a mirrorless high resolution camera instead of an DSLR.

So far the suggested sensor resolution is all we have (and we do not feel we can give it more than CW3) but there is more to come.

Stay tuned.

How Does A Fly Crawl Into A $2100 Weather-sealed Canon Lens?

Canon EF 70-200 F/ 2.8 L IS II

This time Lens Rentals shares a somewhat different teardown of photographic gear.

They got back a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II lens from rental, and found a fly inside the lens. A lens that’s supposed to be weather-sealed. While it is still unclear how the fly managed to crawl into the lens, Roger Cicala shows and proofs that a fly inside a lens (or dust for that matter) has little to no effect on image quality. He also shows how difficult it is to remove the fly from the lens.
