Firmware Friday: Canon pulls 7D II update, updates Cinema EOS; Nikon and Sigma ship new firmware too

 
 

Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a rare one indeed, as it brings with it news of an update not launched, but rather pulled from distribution. Alongside new Cinema EOS firmware updates this week, Canon has officially withdrawn its most recent update for the EOS 7D Mark II DSLR. Nor is that all for the week -- we...

Fancy adding another lens to your camera bag? If so, Canon has just announced three new optics that could occupy a little of the space you yearn to fill, no matter the size and your budget.

Battle of the standard zooms: Roger Cicala pits Canon against Sigma in 24-105mm shootout


 
 

Japanese optics manufacturer Sigma has been earning quite a bit of publicity lately -- and we'd wager some pretty good sales too -- thanks to a rejuvenated lens lineup that puts the big boys on notice with eyecatching specifications and great image quality.
