At least that is what both Amazon France and Amazon Germany write on their EOS 70D product page. The EOS 70D was said to be released by the end of August 2013, but maybe that’s true just for the US and in Europe we have to wait somewhat longer. Thanks to reader Thierry for pointing me to this.

Not To Be Sold In The USA: Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens

 EF-M 11-22mm

Thanks Adam. According to the moderator of the Canon USA forum, the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens will not ship and be sold in the US:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. We can certainly understand the confusion surrounding this release! Unfortunately, this specific lens will not be sold or serviced by Canon USA.

Why that? DigitalRev (price depends by check-out location) ships international.

Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens in Stock at Amazon Germany

 EF-M 11-22mm

Amazon Germany has the new Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens for the [shoplink 6091]EOS M[/shoplink] system in stock and ready to ship for €399 (click here). I am puzzled by the fact that Amazon US still is not even offering a pre-order option. And why the hell does the lens cost €50 more in France than in Germany? Looks like the EF-M 11-22mm will start to ship in Europe first. Other seller that accept pre-order, or may have the EF-M 11-22mm in stock and ready to ship:

A First Time Into Digital For A Photographic Legend (Don McCullin)

This is a clever, 30 min video by CPN (Canon Professional Network), showing British photographer Don McCullin being introduced to digital photography (to the [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III[/shoplink] in particular). The mentor of the moment is Jeff Ascough, Canon Ambassador of Light. Well, Don McCullin is (or was) a Nikon film camera shooter :-).

It’s a commercial video, that’s true, but I have seen lots of commercials that are much worse than this. This one is a nice and charming video.
