Like everyone else out there, I’ve been anxious to get my hands on the Nikon D800 and Canon EOS 5D Mark III, the latest and greatest full-frame professional digital SLRs.

Our Canon PowerShot G1 X studio sample photos are complete and available for perusal. The image quality of this camera is amazing!

But I’ve […]

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is official! This has to be one of Canon’s most anticipated cameras, ever. It’s been three and a half years since the 5D Mk II was announced (September, 2008) and photographers have been (im)patiently expecting a replacement since late 2009. It’s been quite a wait but I think Canon […]

It’s been about three years since Canon introduced their first waterproof, shockproof digital camera, the PowerShot D10 (learn more about the Canon PowerShot D10). A lot of new rugged waterproof cameras have become available since then and I’ve been wondering if and when Canon would update the D10. Well, last night Canon announced the PowerShot […]

Canon introduced a surprising new high-end compact camera today, the 14.3-megapixel PowerShot G1 X. I’ve been criticizing Canon’s high-end G-Series compact cameras for the past couple of years. I believe that with the current interchangeable lens camera options out there, a camera the size of the Canon G12 should have better image quality and changeable […]

For outdoor photographers like me, the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS pro zoom lens was very exciting when it was announced last summer (2010). It offers the reach of a 300mm zoom lens in a lighter, pro-quality, backcountry-friendly package. And from all reports, the image quality and auto focus performance are both very good. At […]
