Nikon has release a couple of new zoom lenses today, one of which will become the new longest focal range ever for Nikon with a 16.7x zoom ratio! Truly a ‘one lens does it all’ piece of kit, or at least that’s how it’s intended. Both the new lenses feature the VR (vibration reduction) technology and should be in stores at the end of June.

In March I was invited to take part in a photography contest in Austria at the Nine Queens freeski event. Rebel TV was present for the event and they have put together a cool little webisode featuring all the photographers and also displaying the winning images in the photo contest. I was really pleased to take home the award for Best Action Photo and Best Creative Angle at the contest. On top of that it was just an awesome week in a great place!! Check out the video below.

Canon’s first pancake lens was unveiled today alongside the launch of the Rebel T4i DLSR. Since the introduction of mirrorless cameras, pancake lenses have become popular on those models from Sony, Olympus and Panasonic as a way to decrease the size of the photography kit you carry. Canon’s introduction of their first pancake lens is an interesting move, and one that I think will be quite popular. It’s generally accepted that Canon will release their own mirrorless camera, possible even this month (June 2012) but whilst this lens would probably work on that, I don’t believe it’s specifically targeted it …
The latest iteration of the Rebel lineup, the T4i (650D in some countries) has been unveiled today and it seems some significant upgrades over previous models. Ergonomically it seems to have something more of a ‘pro’ styling to it, looking more like the 5D Mark 3 if you ask me. In terms of the specs we are seeing a much upgraded AF system, to that which is currently in the EOS 60D as well as a 63 zone metering system. The Rebel T4i is also the first Canon DSLR to have a touchscreen. Scroll down to see some videos of that in action.

Amazon has 7 (at time of writing) Canon 5D MK3s in stock in the body only option. This has been hard to come by so if you’re waiting I would jump on it HERE
According to Rob Galbraith, Canadian dealers have been informed by Canon that the new flagship Canon 1D X will begin to ship in limited quantities at the end of July. First, cameras will go to CPS members heading to the Olympics, a policy that most will be familiar with. While we all suspected this camera had been delayed, it’s a shame to see it confirmed. Glad I got my 5D MK3 and didn’t wait for the 1D!
