The world has been expecting this camera for a long time and now it’s finally here. Canon has today announced the new Canon EOS R5c, a video-centric version of the Canon EOS R5 with active cooling (so you can actually shoot 8K for more than a few minutes) and a more streamlined UI aimed at video shooters. Canon says that it combines the “best of both worlds” melding the EOS R5 and EOS C70 cameras into one – which you can see as soon as you turn the camera around to see how beefy it is compared to the EOS R5....

Not too long ago, Canon announced the new EOS Rebel SL3 DSLR, otherwise known as the EOS 200D Mark II and Kiss X10 in other parts of the world. It’s a basic entry-level DSLR aimed at beginners and people who just want a basic DSLR for shooting family snaps. Maybe one day buy a little hotshoe flash to blast at their subjects. But in a very odd move, Canon has removed the universal pin from the hotshoe that would allow the camera to work with any 3rd party hotshoe flash....

Canon has shown off a pretty major upcoming firmware update for the Canon EOS R and EOS RP cameras to enhance their autofocus capabilities.

A video demo posted to YouTube by Canon shows side-by-side comparisons of the current firmware vs the new one, which should be arriving in September. Canon says that the new firmware update will be coming at some point towards the end of September, and the downloads will be available in the respective pages for the EOS R and EOS RP cameras....

Canon’s 24-105mm f/4L lens has become a staple amongst Canon users. Whether pro or hobbyist it’s the perfect balance between quality, versatility and price. Its successor, the 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM, though, seems to be having a few teething troubles. Imaging resource mentioned the service notice a couple of weeks ago. But it wasn’t corroborated by any other Canon sources, and was quickly removed from the Canon Philipines website Canon USA have now announced that certain examples of this lens exhibit “an AF operation-related malfunction”....

It looks like we might finally have an actual solid and firm price on the upcoming Canon EOS R5 as Canon Rumors reports that an announcement may be coming as soon as Thursday, July 2nd. Not only that, but they say that we’ll hear an official announcement for the more secretive Canon EOS R6 at the same time. While there has been quite a lot of information fed out about the upcoming Canon EOS R5 since its early teasers (no official price yet, obviously), Canon has said pretty much nothing about the EOS R6....

A Christian wedding photographer who refused to photograph same-sex marriages has had her case dismissed. The photographer, Emilee Carpenter argued that the non-discrimination laws violated her rights to express her religious beliefs. Carpenter filed the lawsuit in April of 2021 claiming that New York’s nondiscrimination laws were forcing her to choose between going against her faith by photographing same-sex weddings and paying fines of up to $100,000. Carpenter argued that the laws violated her 1st and 14th amendment rights....

Not much has really happened with Canon’s EOS M system since they went full frame with the EOS R, despite Canon saying that they’re committed to both formats. There have been rumours about new ones coming this year, although there’s still been no solid news as of yet and we’re 2/3rds of the way through 2020 already. Then there’s the reported death of the EOS 7D DSLR line. Well, a new set of specs has just appeared on Canon Rumors, which they say may be for an upcoming EOS M50 Mark II or “an M camera above the EOS M6 Mark II”....

One of the trickier aspects to shooting video is dealing with multiple cameras, and more specifically having to match the colour and contrast of footage recorded by each of those cameras to each of the other cameras. Well, in this video from IWLTBAP, your life’s about to get a whole lot easier. In it, we see how to use Photoshop to correct a frame of a clip from one camera, to a frame of a clip from another, using Photoshop’s Match Color feature and then export out a 3DLUT using their free LUT Generator....

I arrived in Ireland a couple days ago, and I have been taking plenty of photos along the way. I’ll post them in future articles, but there is something more important to discuss for now: the dangerous, idiotic behavior I saw at the Cliffs of Moher. The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most iconic sights. At upwards of 700 feet (210 meters) tall, and dropping directly into the sea, it is no wonder that they are such a well-visited place....

In 2015, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filed the most ridiculous lawsuit ever against photographer David Slater. The famous “monkey selfie” case has been going on for two years now, and it has done Slater a lot of harm. However, judging from the latest report, it could finally end in the settlement between the Slater and PETA. When one of the monkeys hijacked Slater’s camera in 2011 and took a bunch of selfies, the photographer couldn’t have imagined what would result from that....

Less than a week ago, we posted about a possible drone collision with an incoming flight at an airport in Mexico. Now, we read about confirmed idiot sightings at Gatwick Airport in London, England. According to the BBC, at least two drones were spotted flying near the airport, which prompted them to ground all flights and shut the place down. This shutdown has stranded around 10,000 passengers, with a further 6,000 diverted, and 4,000 on planes that didn’t take off, says Mail Online....

Federal Aviation Administration is working on the new ways of identifying drones, in order to increase people’s safety and pilots’ accountability. As a part of these efforts, they are now proposing a remote identification of the consumer drones. In May 2017, FAA announced that the registration of personal drones isn’t required any longer. This makes it more difficult to track down the pilots who fly their aircraft irresponsibly. Although the commercial drones still require registration, one still can’t see the identification number when the drone is up in the air....
