Review: Canon Color ImageClass MF8050Cn all-in-one printer
Posted on October 9, 2009 | No Comments
There is a code to which a cowboy cleaves. He never shoots first, he's always kind to ladies, and he never buys more printer than he can handle. While I can't speak for those out on the lone prairie, I can report that the 52-pound ImageClass MF8050Cn by Canon may be the heaviest printer I've had in my office to date.
This isn't a printer for scrap-booking or creating beautiful photomontages of your grandmother. The color printing is delightfully sharp but the speed and on-board features - the lack of a picture preview screen, for example - makes this an office printer through and through. It also has a built-in copier and fax machine if you're into that stuff. It also scans from PCs or Macs.
Because we're basically talking about a large job printer here you won't be printing many photos on this printer. However, it has excellent color reproduction and is just fine for color prints. A slight concern: the "media capacity" is 150 sheets on this puppy, which means you'll have to refill it every few if you're doing a few dozen pages per day.

Canon will not be attending PMA 2010
Posted on September 29, 2009 | 1 Comment
According to this weeks issue of Amateur Photographer, Canon will not be attending PMA 2010. The company is apparently shifting focus away from niche trade shows in order to focus shows like CES that reach more consumers. After all, that's the way Canon's products are going anyway.
We've seen a huge shift in the last five years as the DSLR has moved from the prosumer market to clearly an everyday Joe-type camera. Sure, there will always be high-end products which could be showcased at shows like PMA, but money is tight for everyone including the photography giant and so they need to focus on shows with the furthest reach.

Is this the full press release for the Canon EOS 7D?
Posted on August 31, 2009 | No CommentsThe press release for the Canon EOS 7D has leaked. Unfortunately, it's only available as a translation from Chinese, so it's riddled with all sorts of gibberish. Not that that's ever stopped us before!

Thank you, Canon, for dropping out of the megapixel race
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No Comments
The average mom and pop have judged digital cameras by megapixels alone since the beginning of time. Most people think that more megapixels means a better picture. A lot of the time brand, lens, or sensor type doesn't factor into the buying decision and why should they? Manufacturers have long catered to this mentality by outing cameras that constantly have more megapixels than others. But today's announcement of the 10MP Canon G11 point and shoot camera, Canon has officially dropped out of the race.
The predecessor to this camera, the G10, had a whopping 14.7MP on a small sensor. That's a lot. But the camera also had issues shooting above 800 ISO and in low light. This can partly be blamed on the over-packed sensor. But the new G11's 10MP sensor should resolve some of those complaints. However, the surprisingly low pixel count also caused us to dismiss an early leak. It's not like Canon to drop the megapixel count on one of its halo cameras. This is from the same company that stuffed 21MP into the EOS 5D Mark II and leapfrogged the 12.1MP Nikon D700.
But finally the average consumer might start to understand that megapixels are not the sole factor in the quality of a camera. It might take some explaining from a salesmen, but they have been doing that for years.

The Canon EOS 7D has been rumored for years, but has yet to surface. Instead we got the fabulous 5D Mark II. But nothing has rocked the EOS 7D namesake yet. That looks like it may change real soon.
