Canon Updates EOS Interchangeable Camera Models
Friday, February 06, 2015
Canon is starting 2015 with some major announcements for its PowerShot and EOS lines, including two
new point-and-shoot units and three new DSLR models.
CANON REBEL T6s and T6i
Leading the announcement is the Canon Rebel T6 and T6i. Both DSLR models feature a 24.2MP sensors
complimented by DIGIC6 image processors.
The camera will also have a 5 fps continuous shooting mode
and a maximum ISO of 25600 and a LCD panel at the top that shows users basic configuration such as
ISO and exposure compensation.
Other notable features of the camera include Wi-Fi, high dynamic range movie recording and servo
autofocus for shooting in burst mode.
Moreover, both models have autofocusing embedded in the
pixels and color tone detection.
Both models will be available starting April, with the Rebel T6i to sell for $750 for the body only ($900
with a standard 18-55mm kit lens and $1100 for the 18-135mm lens) while the T6s will go out for $850
for the body only.
CANON 5Ds and 5Ds R
Another exciting announcement this week was the company’s newest flagship DSLR cameras – the
Canon 5Ds and 5Ds R. Both models are sporting a 50.6MP full-frame sensor that’s complimented by a
Dual DIGIC 6 image processor.
There’s also a 3.2-inch fixed LCD at the back of the device, a 61-point autofocus system, an overhauled
body to minimize shake and improve stability, built-in time lapse feature and a view finder that can
cover nearly 100 percent of the field of view.
The cameras can record 1080p videos at 24,25 and 30fps. It also has a USB 3.0 port as well as support
for CF and SD cards. Native ISO on both cameras maxes out at 6400.
The difference between the two models is that the 5Ds R does away with a low-pass filter effect and
creates a cancellation effect designed to reduce blur from images and make them sharper.
Both models will be available starting in June with the Canon 5Ds to be priced at $3700 (body only)
while the 5Ds R to be sold at $3900. Canon is also making available a new lens to go with the 5Ds and
5Ds R – the 11-24mm f/4L USM ultra wide-angle, aspherical lens which will cost $3000 once it launches
towards the end of this month.
CANON EOS M3
Of course the party wouldn’t be complete without a mirrorless camera model. And finally, Canon is
ready to up its game in this segment of the market with the new EOS M3.
The new model offers a 24MP APS-C sensor with a DIGIC 6 image processor that should deliver premium
quality image and video.
It has a fast autofocus system with 49 focus points, an ISO range of 100-25600
and a 3-inch articulating LCD panel for selfie fans. And unlike previous EOS M models, the new M3 comes with a built-in pop-up flash. This allows the hot
shoe to be used with an optional electronic viewfinder. The new M3 is also capable of recording 1080p
videos at 30fps and comes with built-in Wi-Fi.
