Canon Announces the XL2







Canon Announces the XL2

Canon Announces the XL2 07/13/2004 12:11 PM

canon_xl2.jpg image

The waiting is over for the prosumer mini-DV world as Canon (finally) releases the XL2, the follow-up to the wildly successful (some would say ground-breaking) XL1S. With both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios (film-like and TV-like, respectively), variable frame rates (again, to more closely emulate film or TV), interchangeable lens (the same as the XL1S had, including a new 20x optical zoom lens), and more, all wrapped around a 3 CCD system for maximum image, you know, fantasticness.

More after the jump.

Canon Powershot 520 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

powershot_520.jpg imageCanon continues to flesh out its popular Powershot A Series of consumer cameras with the Powershot A520, a four-megapixel snapper with a 4x optical zoom. With an estimated price of $300—and a street price probably far below that—the 520 continues Canon's line of high-quality, easy-to-use cameras that don't take a lot of savvy to manage. Seriously, cheap memory card format (MMC/SD), common battery type (AA), and really nice quality images—what's not to like?

The 520 is the follow-up to the Powershot 510, which was just announced a week or two back.

Canon A85 4-Megapixel 07/20/2004 09:47 AM

PowerShot-A85_1.jpg imageCanon has released an updated PowerShot, bumping the A70 to the new A85, a 4-megapixel/3x optical zoom sidearm that also adds PictBridge comparability (for easy one-button transfer direct from camera to printer or portable hard drive). The A85 also ships with a 32MB Compact Flash card, which is a nice step up from the usual 16MB card most cameras are bundled with. It's about time we start seeing even low-end cameras with 32- or even 64-meg flash memory cards right out of the box.

Also, coffee at 5PM can not be mitigated with bourbon at 11PM. Good morning!

Canon i9900


Canon i9900 12/22/2004 01:39 AM
We’ve spent quite a few bucks this last couple of years with one photo-finisher or another, and recently Lauren’s been cooking up business ideas around photography. So she went out and got a Canon i9900 and I got my hands on it first; wow! It’ll probably end up plugged into one of the fixed machines but we didn’t have the right cable, so I FireWired it into my Mac (grr, had to reboot to install the driver) and ran one or two of my favorite prints at 300dpi and well, my goodness gracious, they look just like what comes back from the online print service, only better. I’m sure that a fine professional photo-finisher who puts their soul into their work can do better, but that’s not what I’m getting when I upload my JPEGs to one mass-market printshop or another. And there’s lots of playing-around to do with DPI and paper finishes and colour spaces and so on. I assume that, things being what they are, the competition is about as good too, which is very good indeed.

Media Transfer Protocol, or MTP, promises to make transferring data from portable devices to Windows-based PCs simpler and faster. The protocol builds on the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard, which was established by the International Imaging Industry Association. Microsoft has supported PTP since the release of Windows Millennium Edition in 2000.

eos-1d_markii.jpg imageDPReview swings their big stick at the new Canon EOS-1D Mark II, the update to the original EOS-1D that improves upon it in almost every way, including doubling up the resolution (8-megapixel), buffer size, SD/CF, and on-board USB 1.1 (meaning PictBridge compatibility). The shutter speed and Flash X-Sync are actually a little slower, but in all it looks like a great camera made even more better greater.

imageInformation about Canon's new DSLR is creeping out and it looks like a doozy, with a 16 to 17-megapixel sensor and a built-in SD and CF card slots, among other things. So yeah, that's huge - like 4992 x 3328 pixels in RAW mode huge. This site has a scan of the EOS-1DSMK2's first brochure with most of the critical information, albeit in a giant un-robot-translatable Japanese JPEG.

I'll post a translated excerpt after the jump. (Thanks, Cristopher!)

20d_frontview-001.jpg image

Okay! Here's that proper announcement from Canon we were expecting about the EOS 20D. The 8-megapixel digital SLR definitely ups the ante in the whole Canon/Nikon game. I can't wait to see some proper reviews.

The EOS 20D wasn't the only Canon announced, though, with the seven-megapixel G6, five-megapixel A95, and three-megapixel A400 all showing up in one form or another, too. There are reviews of almost all of the cameras (except the 20D, of course) out today, and Photography Blog has a nice collection of links that they'll keep adding to throughout the day if you'd like to toss them some links.

Oh, and even thought DPReview has been told not to post sample images of the D20, Canon Japan has three sample shots you can chew on for now. The fruit and ice one made me giggle a little.
