Two of the most exciting things about the Canon C300 are the sharpness of the image, and also the “organic” or granular structure of the noise pattern the sensor produces.

The X10 fits beautifully in ones hand, in large measure because it isn’t too small. I started this report with a discussion of how all camera designs are based on a series of trade-offs by their maker; sensor size vs image quality being paramount. Fujifilm has taken a path with the X-10 that calls for the largest possible sensor in a sort-of-pocketable camera, along with a fast lens of moderate range and a usable optical finder.

Canon Inc. today announced that the company is developing a new-concept EOS-series digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Incorporating an enhanced version of the video-capture capability offered in the current EOS-series lineup, the new camera will be ideally suited for cinematographic and other digital high-resolution production applications. The model will be equipped with a 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor and, enabling the recording of 4K video (at a frame rate of 24P, with Motion-JPEG compression), will make possible the type of exceptional image quality and sublime imaging expression to be expected from the next generation of “EOS Movies.”

Along with the camera several new Cine style lenses were launched – a 14.5-60mm T2.6 and 30-300 T2.95-3.7 in both PL an EOS mounts, along with a set of three primes (24, 50 and 85mm) in EOS mount only

PDN PhotoPlus is the annual chance for photographers and enthusiasts in and around New York to sample what’s new amd exciting (or not so new and exciting) in the world of photography.  It’s a far cry from Photokina, but but good fun nonetheless. I had the opportunity to explore this year’s show in some detail, and herewith is my dispatch from the front.
