Our regular Firmware Friday roundup returns once again this week bringing news of rather more updates than in recent weeks. Canon alone has shipped new firmware for seven DSLRs in the past week, and we also have news of mirrorless camera updates from both Fujifilm and Panasonic to discuss.
Let's get right down to...
For a good few years now, we've had a team from IR on the ground at the CP+ tradeshow in Japan each spring, attending an annual event which represents something of a homecoming for many of the world's biggest camera makers. And each year, we make sure to schedule time around the show to meet with executives from each of...
Another week has whizzed by, and it's time once again for Firmware Friday, our regular roundup of what's new for your camera gear. This week, we have news of firmware updates for two still cameras, three video cameras and a lens, as well as of a software update applicable to two further cameras.
We'll kick off in...
Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a rather lengthy one, with quite a few updates (or news of upcoming updates) for six cameras, two lenses, one printer and one video camera. Among the mix are the Canon 7D II, 5DS and 5DS R; the Leica T (Typ 701); the Nikon D5000 and S9700; Sigma's Nikon-mount 120-300mm...
We thought the megapixel war was over, or at least winding down some. But then earlier this year Canon surprised the photo world with a pair of 50.6-megapixel full-frame DSLRs! The Canon 5DS R and 5DS cameras serve a more specialized segment of the market: those photographers demanding high-resolution images for subjects...
It's been awhile since Part I, but I've now had an opportunity to take the Canon 5DS R out for some more field testing, and this time around I put the camera in a less-than-favorable scenario: high ISOs. Indeed, this high-res 50-megapixel sensor, despite being a full-frame sensor, has extremely tiny individual pixels....
After posting up a big selection of real-world gallery photos, I've finally been able to write up my daytime experience shooting with the new 50.6-megapixel Canon 5DS R. In Part I of my Canon 5DS R Field Test, I primarily focused on the design and ergonomics -- spoiler alert, it's basically a 5D Mark III in basic design...
Canon, not content with watching folks needing higher resolution images jump ship to Nikon's 36.3MP D810, came back swinging with their 50.6MP full-frame 5DS and 5DS R cameras earlier this year. Just now arriving on store shelves, we've finally managed to get our hands on final production versions of both models after...
After a brief hiatus last week, Firmware Friday returns today with big news from Fujifilm, Samsung, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron. It's quite a list of updates that we have for you today, so without any further ado, let's get to it!
We'll start with Sony, whose new firmware for the Alpha...
At long last, we've finally gotten our hands on production-level review units of the brand new, 50MP-packing Canon 5DS R and Canon 5DS full-frame DSLRs. Earlier this year, we had an opportunity to post images and crops from both a pre-production 5DS R model as well as a later-but-still-beta sample of this camera. Now,...
(Editor's Note: RAW files from this 50MP camera, as you can imagine, are very large. We've posted staight-out-of-camera JPEGs for the moment; RAW file downloads will be available tomorrow provided our ISP connection doesn't melt down in the process now. :-)
Update, 05/06: RAW files for our First Shots are now...
For those photographers yearning for oodles and oodles of resolution -- landscape, fine art, and magazine photographers come to mind -- Canon has come up with a solution -- two, in fact. The new Canon 5DS and Canon 5DS R sport an in-house designed and built 50.6-megapixel full-frame image sensor. The "R" model provides even more critical sharpness and detail by cancelling out the...
Alongside their recently announced 50MP 5DS and 5DS R cameras, Canon has debuted a brand new ultra-wide angle L-series lens. The new EF 11-24mm f/4L lens is the latest member of Canon's 'f/4' family of L-series glass and is now the widest-angle rectilinear lens ever produced for full-frame DSLRs.
