It’s clearly the season for new camera gear, and today it’s Canon’s turn in the spotlight. Along with a few new lenses comes the EOS 60D, a “replacement” for the two-year-old 50D. Those looking to upgrade from their 50D should look elsewhere, though, perh
Those looking to upgrade from their 50D should look elsewhere, though, perhaps to the 7D, as this new camera is more for consumers than enthusiastic amateurs.
London, UK, 26 August 2010 – Canon today unveils the world’s first fisheye zoom lens offering both circular and full frame images, thanks to an extreme wide

You also need to surround yourself with a community of fellow artists and colleagues that will support you and inspire you as you navigate your way. So many of my breaks in the fine art world have been the result of someone putting in a good word for me at the right time.
Canon has unveiled the EOS 60D. The successor to the EOS 50D fits in between the EOS T2i/550D and EOS 7D in Canon’s lineup and gets many of its still and video features from these models. It has a 17.92 million image pixel CMOS sensor, shoots stills at up to 5.3fps, sports 63-zone metering and 9-point AF systems, can control and trigger remote Speedlites with its built-in flash and captures 1080p video at up to 30fps. It’s also the first Canon digital SLR to incorporate a tilt-and-twist rear LCD.
First, there was that comment from Steve Jobs that the iPhone 4 looked like “a beautiful old Leica camera”. It did not take long to see the first iPhone-Leica modification and now flickr member joey_joey_joey has an even better implementation, this time t

A controversial image of bodies piled up in a morgue in Caracas, Venezuela, has sparked an intense debate over the government’s efforts to clamp down on news outlets it does not control
I mention the following probably just because I have Leicas on the brain after the past couple of days, but it strikes me that the S90 and S95 might be the up to the minute analog of the original Leica—the so-called “Barnack camera.” It’s capable but stealthy, as tiny as it can reasonably be, supremely portable and able to be carried virtually anywhere
Those who follow camera introductions already know that Canon has just announced a successor for its S90, which itself is only a year old. The S90 has been an extremely popular product this past year, and for good reason. The…

At the periphery of my vision I was aware of a scuffle and went to investigate. An unusual scene presented itself that demanded to be photographed, a middle aged man sitting on the pavement looking up to the police and obviously verbalising his disdain. The police ignored him as two demonstrators attempted to help him to his feet. I took one photograph and moved on. I took another one of the Territorial Support Group to the right of this incident to get a full picture of the scene. In amongst them was a police officer who had hidden his facial identity skulking in the back. I thought nothing of it.

Canon Inc. announced today that it has successfully developed an APS-H-size*1 CMOS image sensor that delivers an image resolution of approximately 120 megapixels (13,280 x 9,184 pixels), the world’s highest level*2 of resolution for its size.
Sony has announced a camera with a new kind of mirror that gives it the fast-focussing of an SLR and the shooting speed and live-view of a mirrorless camera. Sony claims this technology as “ground-breaking”. The problem is that Canon already did it back i

A middle-aged woman throws a cat into a trash can. It happened near the Sacred Heart School in Coventry. Too bad for her there was a camera pointed at her. She will be identified, maybe with the he…

In the late 1970s, when he was in his late 20s, Andy Levin began exploring Coney Island as a G-rated family destination, not entirely unlike the seaside community on Long Island where he was raised.
Take a lens from a Super 8 camera, a whole stack of ni-cad batteries, a digital to analog converter from a voltmeter, a highly experimental CCD and what have you got? Kodak’s first digital still camera, cobbled together with hand-soldered wires and circui

I don’t know how many of those who tried the exercise will be visiting TOP today or even this week, and would see this, but I thought that today, in honor of Cartier-Bresson’s birthday (he was born on this day in 1908), I’d ask to hear from people who actually carried out the “one Leica one year” exercise (or tried to): What did you do? How did it go, and what did you get from it? Are you happy you did it?
I’ve used a number of other brands of 35mm f/2’s and 35mm f/1.4’s and reviewed old images for comparison while testing Leica’s new model, and can definitely say this is the best 35mm focal length lens I’ve tested, period.

Through a series of haunting architectural and landscape scenes of Turkey’s rush toward modernization — and the resulting tension between the secular and the modern — George Georgiou has visually put his finger on a kind of listless alienation which at times can seem to pervade globalized society. Turkey, traditionally a bridge between East and West, seemed a logical choice for such a cautionary vision.
