Canon has announced its high end PowerShot G1 X compact camera, sporting a large 14.3-megapixel CMOS sensor packed in a chunky, black metal body.
When we saw this incredible video for ‘Snow City Radio’ by the unsigned UK band The Lost Cavalry, we assumed that they were either rich kids able to afford a big budget production, or that the band members all doubled up a film industry professionals.
We were intrigued enough to write to them to ask them how it was done, and were amazed by what they told us: the whole thing was done on a budget of less than £50 and filmed and produced entirely by the singer, Mark West – who has had no training as a cameraman or photographer.
Here’s the story of how he managed to put together such an incredible video:
While its chief rival, the Panasonic Lumix LX5, has been busy updating its firmware and adding new features, Canon has decided to launch an entirely fresh update to its popular Canon PowerShot S95 camera in the shape of the PowerShot S100.
Shimmying into view is the shiny new Canon IXUS 1100HS ultra-slim compact superzoom camera, a high end model packing a huge 12x zoom and curiously illustrated hovering over an oily liquid.
A record smashing panoramic photo of a reading room in a Prague monastery library has just been created by a fella called Jeffrey Martin, and it’s a whopper, alright.
This is simple but very neat.
An unnamed author has put together a photo comparison of eleven of the best small, high end cameras – including the likes of the Panasonic GF1, GF2 and LX5, Canon S95, Leica X1 and Sigma DP2 – and added guidelines to help highlight the differences in size.
Canon have taken the wraps off their new, top of the line, entry-level EOS dSLR, the EOS 600D (Rebel T3) which promises to “make capturing exciting, fun and creative images easier than ever.”
Our recent article comparing the new Panasonic Lumix LX5 and Canon Powershot S95 high end cameras has resulted in us getting a fair bit of email, so we thought we’d post a follow up article answering some of the points raised.
Canon has announced their new Canon EOS 60D dSLR, a mid-priced camera offering an 18megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and articulated LCD display.
Its predecessor, the PowerShot S90, came a close second to the superb Panasonic Lumix LX3 in our high-end compact camera shoot-out last year, but is Canon’s freshly announced PowerShot S95 now good enough to take the top dog crown?
Canon has decided to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Ixus range in style, with the launch of the Ixus 1000 HS compact camera.
Not only is their new pocket snapper a rather splendid looking affair, available in hues of silver, brown and pink, but it’s the first Ixus to pack a 10x optical zoom and be able to shoot 1080p video.
The video may be called “Guy Walks Across America,” but it seems he didn’t literally cover every step, but what the hell: it’s still a great piece of creative cinematography, and nicely shows off what the current generation of Canon dSLRs are capable of.
