Canon EF-M 18-55mm STM Lens Review (The Digital Picture), And Pictures From Myanmar

 

The Digital Picture published a review about the [shoplink 6095]EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM[/shoplink]. ISO 12233 chart, flare, distortion and vignetting test results along with measurements & specifications are considered.

I am currently abroad in Myanmar (former Burma). Internet in Myanmar is a major problem. When it works, it is so slow that you can't upload any pics, neither you can load any pages. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes just to send an email. That's why I am seldom able to post anything here at CanonWatch. I am using the lens while abroad in Myanmar, and I am fully satisfied (well, I am missing a more powerful zoom). More to come (Internet permitting).

Suprisingly, the only thing that really works here in Myanmar is Flickr (don't know why). So, as an emergency solution and in order to be able to show you my pics I have to use it. I do not have an account, all the pics are hosted by a good friend (thanks GrandWazoo). Check my Canon EOS M travel pics here.

Canon interviews (lot of talk about the EOS-M)

Nikkei interviewed Canon managers and talked about the new Canon EOS-M camera. Focus was on the AF and Shutter technology. The interesting thing is that they said the real target of the EOS-M are “women”. And another Japanese website DC.watch (translation here) tested the EF lens adapter.

Now what we really need is new lenses for the EOS-M camera. We still have to wait until February to see them announced!

Canon EOS 6D With And Without GPS and WiFi?

Thanks to reader Bernhard.

It looks like there are two models of the [shoplink 7139]Canon EOS 6D[/shoplink], one with WiFi and GPS, and one without. According to German site blog.isarfoto Canon is shipping two different models of the EOS 6D.

The text in the picture above says: «the EOS 6D (N) does not have WiFi and GPS functionality». Anyone?
