Canon Patent: IBIS Might Come To The Canon EOS M and PowerShot Lineup Too

canon patent

We have no doubts that Canon will feature IBIS (In Body Image Stabilisation) on future cameras, given the remarkable collection of patent applications dealing with it and the fact that a Canon exec told the world about. And it’s very likely that the first Canon camera to feature it will be mirrorless.

Never the less, Canon patent application 2019-219650 (Japan) discusses how to feature IBIS on what seem to clearly be cameras in the Canon EOS M and Canon PowerShot lineup. So, IBIS coming to the m ore entry level oriented Canon cameras? Maybe not soon, but maybe sometime.

Camera News: Leica M10 Monochrome Camera Announced

Leica M10 monochrome

Leica just announced another ultra-expensive photographic gadget, the Leica M10 Monochrome. You likely already got it: The Leica M10 Monochrome shoots only black and white images.

If you have over $8000 (!) to throw away, we are happy if you buy the new Leica toy through our links, though we recommend you get a Canon EOS R instead. If you have, pre-order the Leica M10 Monochrome for ridiculous $8,295 at our exclusive partners B&H Photo and Adorama. But then, yeah, take an EOS R instead.

Key features:

  • 40MP Full-Frame B&W CMOS Sensor
  • No Color Array or Low Pass Filter
  • Leica Maestro II Image Processor
  • Optical 0.73x-Magnification Viewfinder

Leica press release:

LEICA M10 MONOCHROM: BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY ENTERS A NEW DIMENSION OF QUALITY

Leica Camera AG has taken the next step forward in its successful digital black-and-white photography concept and presents the new Leica M10 Monochrom. With a newly developed 40-megapixel black-and-white sensor, the next camera generation delivers exceptional pictures that achieve an entirely new level of quality in black-and-white photography.

The ultra-high resolution black-and-white sensor of the M10 Monochrom delivers images with natural sharpness and previously unrivalled resolution of details in all lighting conditions. At the same time, the new M10 Monochrom is the first black-and-white camera of the rangefinder system to offer an exceptionally broad sensitivity range of ISO 160 to ISO 100000. Images captured at all ISO settings impress with finely grained rendition of details and no disturbing artefacts. As is the case with all Leica M-Cameras, the new black-and-white sensor is ideally matched to all lenses of the Leica M portfolio and fully exploits their performance with regard to contrast, resolution and rendition of finest structures. Photographers can therefore rest assured that the exceptional quality of the black-and-white images they capture brings out the best of every subject.
