Back in 2013, Canon announced the EOS 100D DSLR camera. The camera is pretty small as far as DSLRs are concerned but we guess it makes it easier to carry compared to the higher-end professional cameras which tend to be much bigger and heavier. That being said, it seems that Canon has an exclusive model that they have announced in the UK in the form of an all-white EOS 100D camera which you can see pictured above.

As you can see in the image above, the entire camera has been painted white, save for certain parts of the camera, but safe to that pretty much the entire camera has been given a new coat of paint which we have to say is pretty striking. We can only imagine that it will look pretty good and sleek in the snow, especially if you’re trying to camouflage the camera.

In terms of the hardware, it will pack the same hardware as the regular EOS 100D. This means that photographers can look forward to an 18MP hybrid CMOS AF II sensor. It will also come with an optical viewfinder, a larger touchscreen display, Full HD video recording, and will also come bundled with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens that has also been given a coat of white paint.

If you’re looking to attach a different lens, then we guess there will be a clash of colors, but if the 18-55mm kit lens is more than enough for you, then you’re looking at a pretty sleek looking device. As for pricing and availability, Canon has announced that the white EOS 100D will be priced at £499/€599 and will be available starting from May 2014.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, touting that consumers who happen to own this particular digital camera which is not two years old ought to stop using this particular shooter unless otherwise instructed. Apart from that, do bear in mind that it is also illegal to resell, or to make an attempt to resell a recalled consumer product. Apparently, the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS digital camera happens to have a chemical which is used in the rubber part of the viewfinders on the camera, that might result in skin or eye irritation, and could also be the cause of an allergic reaction to the user.

Back in 2013, Canon announced the EOS M2. The camera is the successor to the EOS M, Canon’s first attempt at going mirrorless, which safe to say left a lot to be desired, some of which was addressed in the EOS M2, namely its autofocus system.

In any case while the camera was announced, it seems that the device was limited to Japan at that time, leaving many wondering if Canon had plans to ever bring it to the US or Europe for that matter. Well the good news is that yes, Canon will be bringing it to the US although there is no word on when that will be. (more…)

Yet another camera manufacturer partially calls it quits in face of the onslaught of smartphones. Accoring to the Nikkan Kogyo, Canon has decided to let go of its low-priced digital … Continue reading

As you might have realized, nowadays there seems to be a trend in which camera manufacturers have designed their products to look retro (like Olympus, Fujifilm, and Panasonic, just to name a few), like how cameras would have looked like back in the day. This is not a bad thing as it does offer up a change of pace from the usual camera designs, but if there is one camera manufacturer who has opted not to follow the trend, it would be Canon. In fact Canon’s disdain for the design of such cameras has become pretty apparent when the company recently published a PDF titled, “Story of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II Development”.

In case the title wasn’t obvious, the PDF basically describes how Canon came about designing the look of the company’s latest camera, the Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II. However within the brochure, there was one paragraph that was spotted by the.me that stood out from the rest. “Currently there is a trend towards designing premium compact cameras like classic cameras. However, Canon has kept its distance from this trend. As a result, the design is not pretentious, and it also does not look like a so-called compact camera, and achieves a great balance between traditional and new.” Based on this paragraph, it seems that Canon is not overly fond of such designs meaning that if you were hoping for a retro-looking Canon camera in the future, your best bet would be a second-hand camera shop.
