newsshooter interviewed Japanese company Technical Farm (translated), a company that converts Canon L lenses for Cine use. They add hard stops to the focus mechanism and a smooth manual aperture ring. The modification is offered for the [shoplink 246]EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM[/shoplink], [shoplink 232]Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (price & specs)[/shoplink] (first version) and [shoplink 8658]EF 70-200 f/2.8L II[/shoplink].
Pretty pretty good deal by ebay seller bigvalueinc (98.3% positive ratings): the Canon EOS 60D body only for just [shoplink 16694 ebay]$575 (click here)[/shoplink]. New item, original box, free shipping. Limited stock at this price.
Warning: don’t try this. Really, do not.
The folks at wetpixel.com is working on the ultimate Canon vs Nikon underwater shootout. Both companies produced special editions of their pro grade cameras, i.e. there is a Canon EOS 5D Mark III [shoplink 2431](price & specs)[/shoplink] that can be used under water without housings of any kind. That opens new possibilities for underwater photography we haven’t seen before. The results of the comparison are still under embargo but I am confident wetpixel will soon share their findings with us.
This is a major breakthrough in underwater photography, and obviously the Canon is the better performing camera. Period. :-)

Ok, let’s start with this: Amazon US is selling the EOS 5D Mark III with bonus items for $2999 (click here) – with bonus items: spare battery and 32GB memory card.
Different Canon deals are live on eBay. Please note that eBay sellers often start with a lower price and later raise it. That’s to say that the prices shown below may change.
But there is more! The Canon Direct Store has refurbished Canon EOS 5D Mark III bodies for $2719.20 (click here). You get an USB stick shaped like a mini 5D3 :-) They also have refurbished EOS 6Ds in stock. More Canon Direct Store refurbished gear here.
Finally: still on the fence for the excellent Canon EOS M? There are good EOS M kit deals on Amazon US.
Another rumor suggesting that Canon will announce plenty of new lenses in 2014 surfaced on the web. Quoting Canon Rumors, there will be:
[…] a new worlds widest full frame zoom lens […], a wide angle zoom with IS (17-50 f/4L IS?), a new fast wide angle successor with “new technology” (35 f/1.4?). We can also expect two new tilt-shift lenses, a telephoto zoom successor (100-400?) as well as “budget high quality lenses”.
The rumor originates for the same place as the last one suggesting there will be 8 new Canon lenses in 2014. For the time being it is hard to say how reliable the rumor is. That Canon will announce new lenses next year can be taken for granted, we’ve yet too see how many.
Pretty cool bundle on offer at Adorama.
