Canon Dominating Photography News Today

The news on the various photography web sites has been largely dominated by the latest releases announced by Canon.

This includes the announcement of

A new Canon 11-24mm F/4L USM Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

2 new Canon Rebel cameras

2 new Canon EOS 5DS Cameras (50MP sensors.)

(Pop Photo just happens to be the first site in my RSS feed.  The other sites cover the announcements as well.  I just didn't see the need to link to all the articles.)

I'm also a bit amused at the timing of the posts.  The posts were all times to be published at roughly 10:00pm Central last night.  On most of the sites that announced the releases, not just Pop Photo.  Apparently that's when Canon's news embargo was lifted.

There are a few product announcements not covered by Pop Photo.  Imaging Resource has a post on the PowerShot SX 410 IS, ELPH 350 HS, and G3 X.

They also have first impression reviews on the EOS 5DS cameras (the links are at the bottom of the post.)

Digital Camera world goes into detail comparing the new Canon 5DS full-frame cameras to Nikon's D810.  While the Canon now offers larger resolution (50.6mp vs. 36.3) there are still valid reasons to choose the Nikon over the Canon.  The higher resolution requires certain concessions in other areas and those concessions could result in the Nikon being a better choice for some photographers.

Canon also announced the EOS M3.  This is a mirrorless camera that will only be available in Asia for the time being.
