  • Canon prepares the 5D MkIII

    We were patiently waiting the next camera in the Canon EOS 5D series, with an expected EOS 5D MkIII. But we were not certain of its reality.

  • Canon 1D-X, delayed

    Canon expected to start selling the new beautiful Canon 1D-X from March 2012. This will not happen.

  • Canon surprise on 3rd November

    Canon just sent an invitation for a revolutionary event to their best press contacts in the US. The only problem: Nobody really knows what it’s about.
