LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 18, 2011 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce a completely revolutionized EOS-1D series camera
The EOS-1D X employs a completely new imaging sensor, producing the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera to date for stunning portraiture and studio work. The new 18-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor utilizes large pixels – 1.25 microns larger than those in the EOS-1D Mark IV sensor and .55 microns larger than those in the EOS 5D Mark II sensor – together with gapless microlenses to achieve enhanced light gathering efficiency, higher sensitivity and less noise at the pixel level
More importantly for me, it also promises improved advanced video features. Canon claim that the new camera will have significantly improved video image quality especially in low light. They say it should also reduce false colour and moire patterning, which plague the current Canon DSLRs like the 5D mkII. Also added is a choice of two new compression formats – intraframe (ALL-i ) compression for easier editing and interframe (IPB) compression for superior data compression.
Canon has announced a new flagship DSLR, the EOS-1D X. The camera is supposed to take the place of the fast-shooting crop-sensor 1D Mk IV and the multi-megapixel full-frame 1DS Mk III. The main draw is that you’re getting a full-frame 18MP camera that can

Enlivened by this contrast, Peter Dench began his 10-year project to document the English. “England Uncensored,” shown at Perpignan, France, this summer during the Visa Pour l’Image Festival, is a selection from that project. Unabashedly English — with a French edit and a German influence.

My photo editor, Chris Clark, does a great job of keeping the photo department organized and making sure everything runs smoothly. One thing Chris was always reinforcing to me was the importance of being both a journalist and a photographer. I sometimes tend to get caught up in visual aesthetics, so it was good to have someone reminding me to get good information as well.
It appears that the NYPD—or at least some of their officers—are using strobing flashlights to purposefully interfere with cameras recording them during Occupy Wall Street protests
The drug war in Mexico captures attention, but there is a vibrant culture beyond the headlines. “Reframing Mexico” explores under-reported stories of challenges and successes in Mexico City. For just eight days in one of the world’s largest cities, students faced language, access, culture, transportation, and interpersonal challenges working extremely long hours in often very difficult conditions. The 12 stories they produced are exceptional and often beautiful. A single mother raising her children in one of Mexico’s largest garbage dumps, a middle age carpenter whose illegal immigration to the U.S. ended when the American dream proved elusive, and a young mother struggling to raise her baby in prison are just a few examples. The stories show a side of Mexico City not often portrayed in the media.
Leica M9 – A Second Opinion This is a follow up to my original review of the Leica M9 that sparked a lot of debate, a lot of people still get hung up on the pr
The only annoying thing that I found with the camera was the strap. And it wasn’t even the strap’s fault. Often, when I was in the car and I grabbed the camera, just as I was about to get it to my eye, the shoulder strap would snag between my seat and the belt clasp forcing me to work it free, often missing my shot. Either Toyota or Leica need to work this out.
