Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS
Canon EF-S and M mount: [shopcountry 14432]
ephotozine published the first review of the Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS lens. This lens may also be branded Rokinon, Bower, Walimex, and a with few more names. The Samyang 16mm is an all manual lens (no electronic coupling with camera) that has an interesting price tag of $479, and is available for both Canon EF-S and M mounts. Build quality and optical performance usually is very good on this lenses. In the conclusion they write:
Those looking for wide aperture lenses for the APS-C or smaller format camera need not continue looking at full frame lenses, that generally cost and weigh more now this lens is available. Although some photographers may find manual focusing off putting, spending a little time practising and getting used to how the lens behaves will pay dividends in the long run. This is especially true when considering how little this lens costs for what you get.
They liked the sharpness and build quality of the lens. The review comes with test charts and sample pics.
Canon Japan published (in English) an interactive guide to the Canon EOS 70D, called EOS 70D Master Shooting Guide. The guide is divided in three main sections: 1) Select Shooting Genre, 2) Select Shooting Style and 3) Select Function. Each of these sections contains more subsections and deliver a lot of information about how to to things with the EOS 70D. The brand new, innovative Dual Pixel CMOS Af is also covered.

Latest Canon EOS 7D Mark II rumor. It is rumored that the EOS 7D Mark II may not have the same 20MP sensor of the recently announced EOS 70D, but possibly a new 24MP sensor. That makes sense, since a higher resolution sensor is needed in order to separate the EOS 7D Mark II clearly from the EOS 70D (which already sports a new, innovative sensor). Both DSLR are APS-C cameras, and the EOS 70D delivers a lot of advanced features.
The EOS 7D Mark II will not ship before end 2013, and most probably will do in early 2014. To get the whole picture check also the 7D Mark II rumour I posted yesterday. Finally, it is also suggested that there will be two new professional DSLRs announced in 2014, not featurimg APS-C sensors.
[via CR]Cute little video by Canon Korea on YouTube that shows how small the Canon Rebel SL1 (EOS 100D) is, particularly when compared to other Canon DSLRs. Canon touts the Rebel SL1 as the world’s smallest DSLR.
