Canon EOS M50 at a glance:

  • 24.1MP APS-C CMOS Sensor
  • DIGIC 8 Image Processor
  • 2.36m-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder
  • 3.0″ Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
  • UHD 4K and HD 720p120 Video Recording
  • Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC, Bluetooth
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF
  • ISO 100-25600, Extended ISO 51200
  • Combination 5-Axis Image Stabilization

ePhotozine reviewed Canon’s latest mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS M50 (canon rumors), the company’s first consumer cam featuring 4K video.

In the conclusion they write:

The Canon EOS M50 offers a compact, DSLR styled mirrorless camera, with an updated 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor, which gives excellent image quality, with the same excellent colour reproduction that you get with Canon EOS DSLRs. You also get high-speed continuous shooting, 143 focus points, and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder. It’s also one of the cheapest Canon cameras to record 4K video, and the side mic socket will make it appealing for those who want to record video.

If you want to use Canon EF lenses, with an adapter, on a smaller camera body, or want to use one of the EF-M lenses, then the Canon EOS M50 is a compact option with great levels of performance, and is an enjoyable camera to use. It’s just frustrating that in order to get the best from the camera you have to use the EOS-EF-M adapter, due to the lack of native Canon EF-M lenses available. Read the review…

The Canon EOS M50 is now shipping, starting at $779.

“Everest” is a beautiful time lapse tribute to the Himalayas highest mountain

Everest is a mesmerizing time lapse film shot at night by Elia Saikal. You don’t see such time lapse clips very often.

Elia says:

These time lapse Images were captured as high as 6200m (camp 2) above sea level on Mt. Everest. We slept at 6000m for three consecutive nights on the summit of Mt. Lobuche East waiting for a glimpse of Everest from that vantage point. Around 11pm on the 2nd night, the skies opened up and the top of the world revealed herself in all of her glory.

No where else on the planet have I ever seen the Milky Way so clear, so vivid and so very much alive. It takes a great deal of discipline to stay up all night capturing the magic for the world to experience. Cameras freeze.Shutters freeze. Batteries freeze. Humans freeze. The high altitude environment is debilitating at best. Your body is taking a constant beating by the low levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. The higher you climb of course, the worse this becomes.

Elia used a Canon EOS 1D C (canon rumors), two EOS 5D Mark III (canon rumors), an EOS 5Ds R (canon rumors), and various lenses (24mm, 16mm, 11-24mm) to shot the clip.

Tamron says they are ready to make lenses for Canon & Nikon full frame mirrorless cameras

In an interview with DPReview, Tamron execs gave a clear statement. Besides talking a lot about the new Tamron 28-75mm FE (canon rumors) lens for Sony systems, they said the company is ready to build lenses for future full frame mirrorless cameras. Guess who they where addressing?

[…] Everybody is going to mirrorless. Canon and Nikon will launch full-frame mirrorless cameras, probably in the near future. When this happens, we can easily make Canon and Nikon versions of our [native] E-mount lenses. The same design could work for [multiple mirrorless mounts].

Good to know that Tamron can easily convert their lenses for a soon to come full frame mirrorless system by Canon. And that Canon will deliver “probably in the near future”.  Sony execs also are quite sure Canon will announce a full frame mirrorless camera within a year. And if both Nikon and Canon are going to launch such a camera things are going to be interesting.
