Canon EOS 350D Review

By

Quote from the review:

“We could forgive the first digital reflex camera under the conventional borderline price of 1000 USD for many things. But still, the commercial limitations of the functionality were too obvious. Good similar cameras from the competing manufacturers and alternative firmware versions seem to have changed the company’s position on the state of affairs. And here is a fast and full-featured 8Mp camera in the same “below $1000″ class. If you have been waiting for a sterling reflex camera at a reasonable price, this camera is worth a closer look. It is hardly possible to manufacture a better camera in this class (relatively inexpensive reflex cameras).”

Canon’s Ivy Cliq+ 2 instant camera can print circular stickers
canon ivy cliq 2 announced lifestyle

Photographers rejoiced when Polaroid brought back the square instant print with its digital printers, but Canon is bringing a new format to its latest round of digital instant cameras -- and it’s one photographers haven’t asked for. The Canon Ivy Cliq+ 2 and Ivy Cliq 2 can now print circular stickers as well as the 2 x 3-inch prints of the previous generation.

The precut sticker papers print two circular pictures to a sheet, using the same Zink technology as the regular prints. Zink uses embedded ink crystals instead of cartridges, which means you only have to load and buy the specialty paper. The Canon Mini Print App offers new settings to choose from the circular sticker sheets or the rectangular print.

Lens teardown reveals how Canon made an affordable super-telephoto
canon rf 600mm f11 teardown lensrentals featured

Super-telephoto lenses are known for being two things: Heavy and expensive. But the new Canon RF 600mm f/11 is neither. With Canon's full-frame mirrorless cameras in mind, it weighs a hair over 2 pounds and costs just $699, a far cry from the 6.7-pound, $13,000 Canon EF 600mm f/4 for DSLRs. For photographers without the budget of a news agency, a prime lens of this focal length is usually off-limits.

How to take a 3D photo from almost any smartphone
how to take a 3d photo alejandro rxafadlqkpo unsplash

3D has a way of popping in and out of short-lived trends, but the ability to create a 3D photo without any added hardware could give the technology more staying power than 3D TVs. Shared to your social media feeds, 3D photos will appear to bend and move as friends scroll by, creating catchy graphics that are more likely to pause that scroll.

3D traditionally requires multiple cameras in order to capture the data to reconstruct the depth of the scene, but thanks to artificial intelligence, 3D photos can now be snapped from single-lens smartphones and even generated from existing 2D photos. While the quality won’t replace that of an actual 3D camera or photogrammetry, it also means you don’t need to purchase or bring along any additional gear in order to make one.
