Dustin Abbott posted a short video on YouTube that shows the differences in focus quality and sound between the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, both lenses used on a camera in video servo mode. Well, big differences. Congrats Canon for having made another excellent and inexpensive lens.
LensRentals’ Roger Cicala posted a teaser (on Facebook) of the ongoing Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R testing they started. Read what they say:
Roger [Cicala] has been res testing the new Canon 5ds/ 5dsr cameras all afternoon. Here is a teaser graph for the pixel peepers! (The results are impressive)
While we are waiting for the reviews to show up on the Web, have a look at LensRentals’ teaser image. The results are impressive. Kudos Canon!
The Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R start official shipping tomorrow. However, it’s an open secret that some customers have already got theirs. No name of the shops that are already shipping since it could be that Canon has a sale embargo until June 14.
Did you ever experience an error on your DSLR? Well, get ready to meet a guy who solves these problems with crude violence.
You have first to listen to some weirdness the guy speaks out, so jump to mark 4:55 of the video to see how some people likes to cope with camera errors.
The camera getting destroyed is a Canon EOS 70D. I own a 70D, took it everywhere, from deserts to glaciers, I used it in the tropics under the rain, and in many more difficult situations. I am normally not very caring about my gear. It’s gear and is has to do the job. Well, I never, never, experienced an error on my trusty EOS 70D. Before being tempted to destory your EOS 70D, have a look what others make with this fantastic camera (see here too).
A picture of the destroyed EOS 70D was later posted on Instagram, with the caption: “movie recording has stopped automatically” – worst bug ever, the camera had to be destroyed“. Oh, dude, take it easy next time. And why destroy the lens too?
