dpreview com posted a short video where they compare the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV‘s rolling shutter with the EOS-1D X Mark II and the Sony a6300. Well, the EOS 5D Mark IV is clearly behind the EOS-1D X. See by yourself watching the 1 minute video above.
TheCameraStoreTV put Canon’s new flagship Canon EOS-1D X Mark II under test and compared it with Nikon’s flagship, the D5.

Which camera is the best for fast action, image quality, and low light performance? We take a look.

Our friend Caleb Keiter reviewed the Canon EF 135mm f/2 lens, and it’s a real-world review. He lists 55 reasons to love this lens.
About the lens sharpness he says:
There’s no doubt, the Canon 135mm f/2L is sharp, even at its widest aperture of f/2. Sure, if you look at MTF charts and scientific tests of this lens, they’ll show some softness in the corners that clears up by f/4. But in real-world scenarios, you probably won’t place your main subject in the far corners when shooting with this lens.
About Bokeh:
Combine the 135mm focal length with the f/2 maximum aperture, and this lens is a bokeh monster.
In the conclusion:
I’d highly recommend the Canon 135mm f/2 lens for people photographers. […] here’s my top 3 selling points:
The combination of a 135mm focal length and an f/2 maximum aperture creates stunning images that have a look all their own. You really have to shoot with it and see the images to understand what I mean.
The autofocus is ridiculously fast, accurate, and silent. This lens should be the benchmark for autofocus.
It’s unbelievably sharp with rich, accurate color, consistent contrast, and minimal (if any) “issues” you have to clean up in post (i.e. distortions, aberrations, fringing, etc.).
Caleb’s review comes with many samples and much more information than I can list here. Read Caleb’s review…
Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM B&H Photo, Adorama, Amazon USA, Amazon Canada, Canon Canada, Canon USA
Photographer and reviewer Dustin Abbott published his exhaustive review of the Canon EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macro IS STM, Canon’s latest addition to the EOS M lens ecosystem. And according to the reviewer, this tiny lens has a “wonderful image quality”.
From the conclusion:
[…] the nearly perfect “normal” angle of view provided by this lens makes it a very versatile lens than what a lens with a longer focal length would have. I found it a very versatile travel option that really delivered a lot of stunningly good images in a tiny package. I would have liked a wider aperture, but realize that having one would have compromised the compact nature of the lens…which is a delight. That being said, my one optical complaint is that I feel trying to create a shallow depth of field for non-macro shots is limited with the 28mm Macro. The inclusion of the “Macro Lites” and Super Macro mode are better than gimmicks and I think will prove genuinely useful when used in the right way. I do wish the engineers had put in a stronger detent at the normal shooting spot so that I don’t always end up in Super Macro mode! The IS system works well, the lens focuses reasonably quickly, and has no real optical flaws. All in all, this is an excellent package at a reasonable price […]
