Canon Powershot SX60 HS IS Rumored Again (100x zoom, announcement soon)

Canon Rumors received a new rumor about the upcoming Canon Powershot SX60 HS IS, the successor of the popular Powershot SX50 HS IS (price & specs).

The rumor states that the Powershot SX60 will have a 100x zoom (and not a 60x zoom as I was told from one of my sources), and that the camera could be announced soon, possibly before summer. This candidate announcement date was told to me too. The 100x zoom is said to cover  a whooping 20-2000mm range. In the past a Canon patent for a 100x zoom was spotted. Never the less, I think the rumor about a 100x zoom is non-sense.

The Power Of Magic Lantern For Commercial Projects

The folks at Swiss site Lauschsicht shot a series of 6 films for a new branding platform for Swiss Airlines. They produced over 10 TB of footage using various cameras including the Canon EOS 5D Mark III [shoplink 2431](price & specs)[/shoplink]. The video above is a very good example of how useful the Magic Lantern can be for large commercial projects (and for all those who want to exploit ML’s potential).

On Vimeo, Lauschsicht describes the video as a film about attention to detail. The video was

shot on location using two 5D MKIII with Magic Lantern (1080p25 RAW). Camera movement was done with a BeSteady one and a Rhino Slider. We lit the scenes with remote phosphor lights (Area 48 LED). The film was edited in Premiere Pro and then carefully graded in Resolve.
