Readers Contest: Show Your Pictures To The World


Alyssa Black, Cathedral Notre Dame, Montreal (Canon EOS 70D), http://ilovehatephoto.com/

Hey all! We start a new thing here on Canon Watch. You are invited to post your pictures on Canon Watch’s Facebook page. Then let the community like your pics. The most liked photos will be featured on Canon Watch every Sunday.

We start today, and on Sunday, October 19th I will post a selection of the most liked photos. I just ask you to give a short description of the gear you used, and if you want some more bits about where and how you made the photo. Needless to say that Canon gear has to be used (at least the camera, not necessarily the lens).

How it works:

1) Submit your picture with a short description on Canon Watch’s Facebook page
2) If you want like and comment the pictures from other readers on the Photo Stream
3) A selection of the most liked pictures will be posted every Sunday here on Canon Watch (starting October 19)

Show the world what you are able to do with a Canon camera!

Underwater Housing For Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Nauticam announced the NA-5DMKIII, an underwater housing for the Canon [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III[/shoplink]. The cool thing: you can take your 5D Mark III down to 150 meters (490 feet) under the water. That’s a lot, believe me (I did a lot of scuba diving in my youth).

Retail price is $4,100, shipping since October 2014.

Canon’s Next Large Sensor Powershot Camera Appears In Official Videoclip

Large Sensor Powershot

Thanks Coen

We were already reporting that Canon will soon announce a new large sensor Powershot camera. This camera gets a mention by Canon itself in a videoclip on Canon Netherland’s website.

The video presents the Canon [shoplink 19768]PowerShot G1 X Mark II[/shoplink] and the new [shoplink 22665]Powershot G7 X[/shoplink], and a “big zoom” (groete zoom) camera presented as “later model” (i.e. to be announced soon).

There is also a short description of the upcoming model (machine translated):

Canon is committed to be in a compact housing to offer. Notch picture quality, and The new model in the Expert Compact range combines a large sensor and powerful zoom for superb pictures from afar.

You can register to be notified when the new camera will be available. To see the video go on Canon Netherland’s website (translated), and scroll down.
