Canon’s Super Tele Shipping Dates Slip Again
Last month we heard the planned ship date had slipped back to April for the new 500mm and 60mm f2 L IS II lenses. Now, again via The Digital Picture, we are hearing that things have now slipped to May. This is getting a bit frustrating for those of us who are waiting for one of these lenses! I really need to have my new 500mm for a trip in June and this is looking increasingly unlikely. From Canon: “We appreciate your understanding and continued support.”
Hands On With The New Canon 24-70 & 24mm + 28mm IS Primes
Recently Canon announced the introduction of three new lenses to their EF lineup. The long awaited 24-70 f2.8 L II finally broke cover as well as two wide prime lenses with IS, the first of their kind. Much has been made about the projected $2300 price point for the new 24-70 though which is about $1200 more than you can currently get the previous version for. In the last couple of years Canon have updated some old lenses and introduced some new ones, all of which I have found to be exemplary so my gut feeling is that for pros, …

Canon Launches Three New Lenses : 24-70 F2.8 L II , 28mm IS and 24mm IS
Canon’s revamp of the staple 24-70 f2.8 L has been in the pipeline for years if the rumors are to believed. Today it was unveiled and whilst it doesn’t have the IS that many people wanted, it does come in at 10mm shorter and 150g lighter than it’s predecessor which will be welcomed by the pros who use this lens on a daily basis. On top of this Canon have also unveiled the worlds first wide angle prime lenses to feature IS. A 24mm f2.8 IS and a 28mm f2.8 IS. UPDATE: The 24-70 will be available in April for …
Nikon Launches the 36MP D800
Nikon has unveiled the new D800 today which features a 36MP full frame sensor along with all of the video function improvements we saw on the previously announced D4. In an interesting twist, Nikon will also be offering a D800E which is identical except for the omission of the anti-aliasing filter. This should provide increased sharpness in that variation, but at the expense of possible aliasing on patterned subjects. With the enormous processing power needed to deal with a 36MP image it comes as no surprise that the D800 is capable of a lower fps burst than it’s predecessor. 4fps …
Canon 24-70 f2.8 II Leaked
This one has been a long time coming! Reports of an updated 24-70 have been going around for two or three years. Initially it seemed like it was going to have IS but this photo leaked today (via Canon Rumors) shows that in fact it does not have IS.

Canon 5d MKIII Seen In The Wild
Well well well, what do we have here ? It seems that Canon is testing the new 600mm lens alongside the new 200-400mm lens on safari in Africa. And look at the body in the image below…. It looks to be a combination of a 7D and a 1D X in terms of screen size, button placements and most importantly it doesn’t have a pop up flash which means it’s unlikely to be a 7dMKII. Also looks like a new grip with more controls on it. Via CanonRumors and Aperture Academy.

The Stereo Videomic Pro continues their form factor and feature redesign that we saw last year in the Videomic Pro but implements it on the old Stero Videomic. The second microphone is even more interesting though as it is the first microphone in the world to combine a shotgun mic with a built in recorder and basic mixing capabilities as well as audio monitoring. Read on for more details…. Rode Stereo Videomic Pro The bulk old Stereo Videomic is gone and replaced with this MUCH smaller version. Like …
