From the Canon EOS 5D Mark III to Canon EOS 5DS/5DS R, all the differences
Canon DLC article about the differences between the EOS 5D Mark III and Canon’s new, 50MP EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R. This is for all those that are thinking about switching from the EOS 5D Mark III to the EOS 5DS/5DS R.
Current EOS 5D Mark III shooters, who may be considering moving to the new high-resolution EOS 5DS (or the EOS 5DS R, which removes the effect of low-pass filtration), may wonder if anything changed on these new cameras because the new models look practically identical to the proven Mark III camera. Rest assured, there are some new rewards waiting to greet 5D Mark III owners who step up to the new cameras.
The article covers what changes most for EOS 5D Mark III users who are switching to the EOS 5DS/5DS R. Read the article at CDLC –>

The Science Behind 4K Optics (Canon video)
Neat little video by CanonUSA on Youtube. Learn all you have to know about 4k. Real 4K technology goes far beyond the label. Canon 4K optics are born from decades of research and design, creating brilliant, vivid, rich images. And it all begins with the lens.
Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R Explained In-Depth (CPN)
Canon Professional Network posted “The EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R explained”, a technical article that goes deep into the features and technology of Canon’s new EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R:
The EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R represent a new line of ultra high-resolution EOS DSLR cameras – featuring 50.6 Megapixel sensors – that are ideal for photographers who want to capture an extraordinary amount of detail in their images. The new cameras will be popular with those shooting landscape and architectural photography, as well as those shooting commercial or high-end editorial work in the studio.

The Science and Technology behind Canon’s “L” Lenses

The Canon Professional Network posted an article about all the technology and science that’s behind a Canon “L” lens.
In several L-series lenses, both UD glass and fluorite lens elements have been combined to produce optimum results. With the continued increase in resolution of digital cameras, demands on lenses are increasing. It is likely, therefore, that UD and fluorite elements will be incorporated into a greater number of lenses, from wide-angle to super-telephoto.
Canon EOS 7D Shutter Mechanism in Extreme Slow Motion (10.000 fps)
This video by Gavin Free of The Slow Mo Guys shows the working of the EOS 7D‘s shutter mechanism, filmed with extreme high frame rates up to 10.000 fps using a Phantom Flex.
It’s also a very good explanation of the rolling shutter technique with examples at different speeds. You can see how the shutter works 400x slower. Pretty impressing.
