The folks at Canon Conspiracies ask the fundamental question: Can Canon become king again?
Canon cripples their cameras, and they’re going to have to stop doing that if they want to compete in 2019. The competition is rising, Olympus EM1X is a beast, Sony coming with the a7siii and a7000, Fuji with their XT3 and XH2. Canon can’t play around, their next RF system camera needs to compete.
If you are looking for a miniature model of the Canon EOS M50 (Kiss M in Japan) we got you covered.
The “Canon EOS Kiss M Flash & Sound Mini Collection” is a 1:2.5 scaled model of Canon’s best selling mirrorless camera, the EOS M50. The model is made by Takara Tomy Arts and according to DC Watch it was made under the strict supervision of Canon.
You can even change lenses on the miniature model. It’s not taking pictures, obviously, but there is a led under the flash shoe that blinks, and the model does a shutter sound when activated. For whatever reason you can also fix it on the flash shoe of your real Canon camera.
Rakuten has this little toy on sale.

Press release:
Guangdong, CHINA—DECEMBER 18, 2018—CamFi, maker of wireless camera controllers, announced the release of CamFi Pro Plus today. This new product adds the wireless tethering feature for 500+ cameras, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Pentax and more. All DSLR cameras which support USB tethering can be supported by CamFi Pro Plus.
“This is a big step for tethering technology,” said Mark Ma, the CEO of CamFi Limited. “It will improve the productivity for the professional photographers greatly, without any study cost.” With wireless tethering, there is need for a USB cable to connect the camera and computer. CamFi Pro Plus also allows photographers to keep using familiar tools, such as Capture One, Lightroom, EOS utility, Sony Pixel and so forth, directly via WiFi.
CamFi Pro Plus adds the third party tethering service. It can send USB data to the client device directly through a WiFi connection. When a camera is connected with CamFi Pro Plus, the laptop which connects to it will act as if the USB device plugged into it directly. In tests, the maximum Wi-Fi speed can achieve 10M Bytes/second. For a 20M raw photo, for example, this translates into need only about three seconds to transfer with Capture One.
The third party tethering service of CamFi Pro Plus supports Windows and Mac. The price of CamFi Pro Plus is $339. It can be ordered via CamFi web site. All the existing customers of CamFi Pro can order the upgrade service for $40.
