Canon EOS M
Mr. Masaya Maeda

Dcwatch (translated) interviewed the managing director and chief executive of Canon’s Image Communication Products Operations, Mr. Masaya Maeda. Google translation from Japanese is pretty poor. However, these appear to be the main points of the interview:

  • A new EOS M camera with built-in EVF could arrive in the second half of 2014 .
  • The focus on EOS M systems is to keep size down [editor’s note: the new EOS M2 is 8% smaller than the [shoplink 6091]EOS M[/shoplink]]
  • Hybrid still+video performance is a key aspect on Canon’s future mirrorless cameras development
  • There will be new lenses for the EOS M system
  • Canon is also considering the possibility to make a more semi pro if not pro mirrorless cameras
  • Canon is committed to the EOS Cinema line

camerastuffreview reviewed the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM lens, Sigma’s latest addition to the “Art” line-up (in stock since a few days at B&H for $899). The lens comes with a pouch and a flower-shaped lens hood, and is highly regarded by reviewer for its build quality and optical performance, not to mention the price tag that makes it affordable for non pros. The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM is a modern looking lens with great optical properties and build quality that beats the [shoplink 230]Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM[/shoplink] lens (according to the reviewer).
