The Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube does exactly that. They put gear into a hydraulic press for the fun of doing it, and for some serious scientific purposes too, obviously. The video above shows all the gory details for your sadistic viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
And some animated GIF for those in a hurry…
We want to see a crushed Nikon:

Canon released a product advisory concerning image corruption occurring when using certain SanDisk CFast with the Canon [shoplink 37157]EOS-1D X Mark II[/shoplink]. Canon states that it “has been confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by SanDisk CFast cards“. Never the less, Canon “is considering releasing camera firmware on the Web for a download service in early July“.
Thank you for using Canon products.
It has been confirmed that when shooting still images with the EOS-1D X Mark II digital SLR camera launched in April 2016 with SanDisk CFast cards, the following phenomenon will occur.
We would like to offer our sincere apologies to users who have been inconvenienced by this issue.
Phenomenon
If a SanDisk CFast card is inserted into the camera or a card reader, the bottom part of still images recorded may be corrupted. This phenomenon is confirmed in images recorded in both the RAW and JPEG formats. In the RAW file, the image corruption may appear in the bottom right corner of the image. In the JPEG file, the image corruption may appear in the lower third area of the image.
Please Note:
Movie recording is not affected by this phenomenon.
Still images or movies recorded to CF cards are not affected by this phenomenon.
This phenomenon is caused by SanDisk CFast cards. The camera does not cause this phenomenon.
SanDisk CFast cards.
Image corruption may be experienced with the cards listed below:
The “xxx” at the end of the product number varies depending on the sales region.
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 64GB (SDCFSP-064G-xxx)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 128GB (SDCFSP-128G-xxx)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 64GB (SDCFSP-064G-xxxA)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 128GB (SDCFSP-128G-xxxA)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 64GB (SDCFSP-064G-xxxB)
SanDisk Extreme PRO CFast2.0 128GB (SDCFSP-128G-xxxB)
Although it has been confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by SanDisk CFast cards, to prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon, Canon is considering releasing camera firmware on the Web for a download service in early July.
We would like to apologize for the inconvenience, but we would like to ask our customers to refrain from using SanDisk CFast cards when shooting still images until the new camera firmware becomes available.
It is our understanding that image files of 16MB or larger recorded immediately before the camera’s power is turned off may become corrupted. Below are the methods available to help avoid image corruption when powering off the camera:
The Camera can be powered off in four ways:
The phenomenon can be prevented by performing the procedure below:
Before powering the camera off, please take extra shots*1 because the extra shots taken immediately before the camera is powered off may experience the corruption and not the images taken before the extra shots were taken.
*1 The table below shows the most popular file types used and how many extra shots are recommended.
| File Size (Approx.) | How many extra shots do I need to take
in order to meet the 16MB or larger requirement? |
| ＜RAW＞ 23.2MB | 1 |
| ＜JPEG＞ L：6.2MB | 3 |
| ＜JPEG＞ M1：4.3MB | 4 |
| ＜JPEG＞ M2：3.4MB | 5 |
| ＜JPEG＞ S：2.2MB | 8 |

I got a new suggestion (thanks) saying the Canon EOS 6D Mark II will feature a 28MP sensor.
Previous rumors mostly pointed to a 24MP sensor. However, since EOS 6D Mark II rumors started coming in, it always has been said the EOS 6D Mark II would have it’s own sensor, and not just the same sensor featured on the upcoming EOS 5D Mark IV (rumored to have a 24MP sensor, and to be announced in August).
I reccomend a big grain of salt here. While it is possible that the entry-level EOS 6D Mark II will have a higher resolution than the pro-oriented EOS 5D Mark IV, it’s still unlikely in my opinion. However, so far the EOS 5D Mark IV’s 24MP resolution is a matter of speculation, no reliable rumors have emerged for the time being. Anything is possible.
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II is expected to be announced in 2017. It’s early for reliable specs. Stay tuned.
EOS 6D Mark II's sensor resolution, what do you think?
