With a constant f/1.8 aperture the optic provides prime-like image quality, making it suitable for low-light photography and thin depth of field photographic effects. At a price point of $919, the lens is also 30% lighter than the predecessor 18-35mm f/1.8, at 560g, and designed with a weather-resistant body and compact ...]]>Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:38:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/sigma-announces-the-sigma-17-40mm-f18-art-dchttps://www.canonnews.com/om-system-announces-the-om-system-om-5-mark-ii The OM SYSTEM OM-5 Mark II, which came out on June 17, 2025, is a compact, mid-range Micro Four Thirds (M43) mirrorless camera aimed at outdoor enthusiasts and active travel photographers. In comparison to the OM SYSTEM OM-5, late 2022 product offering, OM-5 Mark II adds USB-C, an upgraded grip, and a new menu system, but keeps the same foundation and features. Selling for $1,199.99 (body only), I find it remarkable that a camera of this quality can come with the same affordable price tag ...]]>Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:30:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/om-system-announces-the-om-system-om-5-mark-iihttps://www.canonnews.com/fujifilm-launches-compact-digital-camera-x-half-fujifilm-x-hf1 Fujifilm X Half is a small digital camera, launched in June 2025, that seeks to merge the vintage half-frame film shooting experience with modern digital functionalities.

The event unveiled two full-frame mirrorless cameras—the S1II and S1IIE—new L-mount lens, and firmware for the Lumix S1RII. This account, in a technical and dry style for technical reviews, summarizes the announcements and their relevance to the mirrorless camera industry. The Lumix S1II and S1IIE are designed for hybrid content creators who need camera and videography equipment.

Its $1699 MSRP puts it closer to the R6 Mark II.  The EOS R8 is cheaper than this camera, but less features as well. One area the EOS R8 wins hands down, is on portability and size, which are far more important to people like me. The R6 Mark III was expected this year, but that's not a competitor to this camera either. Some people wondered if Nikon had already adjusted the price to include tariffs from the USA, but it's ...]]>Thu, 03 Apr 2025 10:15:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/nikon-announces-the-z5-iihttps://www.canonnews.com/fujifilm-announces-the-medium-format-digital-rangefinder-the-gfx100rfThu, 20 Mar 2025 13:51:00 GMThttps://www.canonnews.com/fujifilm-announces-the-medium-format-digital-rangefinder-the-gfx100rfhttps://www.canonnews.com/fujifilm-gfx100rf-press-release-and-image-leaks While we are a Canon-related website, I'm always a fan of the Fujifilm system, especially the GFX.  While I'm a big fan of Fujifilm, I'm not a fan of stupid, crazy watermarks on images.  Not to mention that the watermark can still be pretty much removed by AI these days.  As demonstrated below.
