CANON Unveil the new Canon Eos 70D

London, UK, 2 July 2013 –
Canon today unveils an outstanding new addition to its world-famous EOS series – the EOS 70D. Designed for aspiring enthusiast photographers, the EOS 70D is the ideal camera for anyone looking to take their photography to the next level. It combines completely new, world-first Canon imaging technology with powerful, creative and wireless sharing features – delivering a responsive, all-purpose camera ideal for capturing the moment with stunning images and Full HD video.
Capture the moment with stills and Full HD movies
The EOS 70D features a new 20.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by Canon. It’s the first Digital SLR in the world to feature ground-breaking Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which delivers smooth and accurate autofocus (AF) when shooting Full HD movies and fast AF acquisition when shooting in Live View mode. Paired with the 14-bit DIGIC 5+ processor and 19-point all cross-type AF System, the EOS 70D captures incredible, full resolution images at up to 7 frames per second, with up to 65 JPEG or 16 RAW images in a single burst*. Additionally, a native ISO range of ISO 100-12800 enables photographers to shoot in lower light conditions and use faster shutter speeds whilst retaining high image quality.

Canon’s new Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides swift AF performance when shooting in Live View mode and smooth accurate focus for Full HD movies. It makes it easy for users to take their next step with movies, enabling them to keep moving subjects in sharp focus and create professional-looking pull-focus effects. The technology utilises advanced CMOS architecture, allowing two photodiodes to be mounted within each pixel, both of which can be read independently to achieve autofocus, or together for image capture, with maximum image quality at all times.
An advanced AF system for stills includes 19 cross-type AF points spread across the frame, providing high speed, accurate AF – ideal for tracking sports and wildlife subjects as they move within the frame. The AF system is customisable, allowing photographers to adapt to the subject they’re shooting. AF points can be used individually, together in small groups, or as a wide active area for more unpredictable subjects. A dedicated AF area selection button, positioned conveniently next to the shutter release, enables quick switching between modes, without having to take the camera away from the eye.

The EOS 70D is a mid-range SLR for enthusiast photographers that from the outside looks like a sensible, indeed desirable upgrade to the EOS 60D. It borrows many of the best bits from Canon's existing SLRs, including the autofocus sensor from the EOS 7D, the fully articulated touchscreen from the EOS 700D (Rebel T5i), and built-in Wi-Fi from the EOS 6D. But on the inside it sports an entirely new sensor that is, potentially, revolutionary. It offers 20.2MP resolution, but uses a 'Dual Pixel CMOS AF' design in which every single pixel is split into two separately-readable photodiodes, facing left and right. This means that in principle they are all capable of phase detection autofocus in live view and movie mode.

Will be perfect for wedding, and theatre shooting as well for HD video.

Canon - How Dual Pixel CMOS AF works

Expertly designed for professional control
The EOS 70D’s powerful specification is packed into an expertly-engineered body that’s designed for comfort and swift operation. The Intelligent Viewfinder, with 98 per cent frame coverage and 0.95x magnification, allows photographers to comfortably frame their images and visualise settings via the electronic overlay. Conveniently-placed controls provide instant access to the most frequently used settings, such as ISO, AF mode selection and metering, so users can quickly change settings and concentrate on capturing the moment.
A 7.7cm (3.0”) Vari-angle Clear View LCD II Touch screen with a sharp 1,040k dot resolution is ideal for video shooting, or composing images from unusual and creative angles. The screen is a capacitive type, which supports a series of multi-touch gestures including swiping and pinch-zooming – perfect for navigating menus, amending settings or flicking through images.

Clever connectivity for easy control and instant sharing
The EOS 70D is the latest EOS model to feature integrated Wi-Fi, providing the freedom to remotely control the camera, as well as share images. Using Wi-Fi connectivity, users can connect to the EOS Remote app and control a wide range of image settings, including ISO and exposure, as well as focus and release the shutter. Photographers can also remotely use Live View mode, as well as review and rate their images.

Instant creativity unleashed
The EOS 70D features a host of creative modes to make capturing unique images easy. In-camera HDR removes the challenges of shooting in tricky, high contrast situations, merging three exposures into one that captures more detail in both the shadow and highlight areas. With multiple-exposure mode, photographers can shoot and combine up to nine exposures into a single image, or use a range of Creative Filters to instantly change the style and look of their shot.
Experimenting with creative off-camera flash is easy, thanks to the Integrated Speedlite transmitter, which provides in-camera control of multiple Canon Speedlite EX flash units.


Creative Full HD Movies
Alongside beautiful stills, the EOS 70D allows photographers to create high quality movies with ease. Full HD (1920 x 1080p) resolution video can be captured with a choice of selectable frame rates, including 30, 25 or 24fps, and 60 and 50fps at 720p, and a range of compression options for post-editing and sharing. Thanks to new Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Movie Servo AF mode tracks subjects as they move, or even as shots are recomposed, ensuring they’re always in focus. Alternatively, users can select different focus areas over 80 per cent of the frame** simply by tapping the touch-screen, even when recording – ensuring that movies stay sharp and clear if a subject moves or the user changes the composition of a shot.
Videographers can also enjoy stereo sound using the internal microphone, or enhance audio with the in-built external microphone input terminal. Full control over settings such as aperture and ISO is also possible within manual mode, giving users greater freedom as their skills develop.

CANON EOS 60Da : THE ASTROFLEX CAMERA

Canon 5D Mark III’ ü piyasaya sürmesinin ardından, yepyeni ve oldukça ilginç ve uzun süredir beklenen yeni bir kamerayla karşımızda.Özellikle astronomi fotoğrafçılığı için geliştirilmiş bu yeni kamera: CANON EOS 60Da

After the new model from Canon like the 5D mark III,  there is an interesting, new, long waited, camera for specialist in astronomy: CANON EOS 60Da. 

7 yıl aradan sonra bu yeni kamera, Canon Eos 20Da ‘ nın yerini alacak.Bu kameranın en büyük özelliği ise çok özel bir alan olan ‘astronomi’ için üretilmiş olması.

After 7 years this camera replaces the previous model Canon Eos 20Da. This camera is made for extremely specialist photographers: Astronomy.

Canon;  2005 yılında ‘astro-photography’ için özel ürettiği EOS 20Da ile bu piyasada ilk deneyimini kazandı. Bu 7 yıl içinde yeni bir model üretmese bile Canon’ un bu alanda pek bir rakibi de yoktu. Yine de bu zaman içinde teknoloji de kendini geliştirdi.

Canon has experience in this market: in 2005, it started selling the EOS 20Da for astrophotography. Canon hasn't released any successors in seven years, though, and it has no competition in this niche. Meanwhile, technology has improved quite a bit.

Örneğin ; çözünürlük 8 megapixelden 18 megapixele yükseldi. Daha önemlisi maximum ISO da yükseldi. 20Da ,ISO 1,600’  den (yükseltme ayarıyla) ISO 3,200 ‘ e kadar yükselebilirken; 60Da , ISO 6,400 ‘ den , ISO 12,800 ‘e ayarlanabiliyor. Ve yine Canon’ un açıklamasına göre; 60Da ‘ nın hidrojen-alfa duyarlılığı da 20Da ‘ nınkinin hemen hemen  bir buçuk katı daha iyi.

Resolution has jumped from 8 to 18 megapixels, but perhaps more importantly, maximum ISO has increased too. The 20Da reached ISO 1,600 with an extended ISO 3,200 mode, but the 60Da reaches ISO 6,400 with an extended ISO 12,800 setting. And Canon said today the hydrogen-alpha sensitivity is about one and a half times better with the 60Da than the 20Da.

Canon belli ki bu kamerayı üretirken çok uğraşmış. Özellikle infra-red filtresinin hidrojen-alfa dalgaboyu (650 nm) duyarlığı ,kameranın gece gökyüzü çekimlerinde, gaz elementlerini kolaylıkla yakalamasını sağlıyor.

Canon worked on this special camera,  specially on the infra-red filter,  to have the camera more sensible to the  hydrogen-alpha wavelength (656nm) which  helps  a lot to catch more details of the gas elements on the night sky.

İnfra-red filtresi üzerinde en çok çalışılan konulardan biri olmuş. Yeni filre, normal DSLR ‘ ye oranla hidrojen-alfa dalgaboyuna 3 kat daha duyarlı hale getirilmiş. Hidrojen-alfa dalgaboyu ; hidrojenin kızarmasıyla yayılan bir tür ışıktır. Örneğin; nebulaya belirgin kırmızı parlaklığını veren budur.

The infra-red filter is one of the  areas that has received considerable rework. The new filter has been designed to be almost 3 times more sensitive to Hydrogen-alpha wavelength than a regular DSLR. Hydrogen-alpha wavelength is the kind of light , emitted by glowing hydrogen, that gives, for example, nebulae their distinct red glow.

Bu kameradaki 18 MP ‘ lik sensör , normal Canon 60 D ‘ dekinin aynı gibi görünse de arada iki büyük fark var:

Yeni LOW-Pass Filtre infra-red dalgaboyunu daha net görmeyi sağlıyor ( % 20 daha iyi) .

İkinci olaraksa noise/gürültü ‘ deki ciddi azalma ki bu da gece çekimlerindeki en önemli öğe.

The sensor of this camera is 18 MP ,  which is also used on the normal Canon 60D. The differences  are:

new LOW-Pass Filter allows  to reproduce better,  the frequency of infrared ( 20% more efficient and sensible comparing to normal filter) .And really high noise reduction; the essential element for the long exposure night shot.

İyileştirilmiş sensörünü ve modife edilmiş IR filtresini bir kenara bırakırsak, 60Da da, 60D ‘nin her anlamda bir kopyası. Ayrıca Canon ; uzun saatler süren çekimleri de unutmamış ve RA-E3 kumandanın yanına bir de AC adaptor koymuş.

Other than a refined sensor and a modified IR filter, the 60Da resembles its 60D counterpart in almost every respect. Canon has bundled the RA-E3 remote controller adapter along with an AC adapter kit for those,  who nedds to shoot exposures that lasts for  hours. 

EOS 60Da bu ayın sonunda piyasaya çıkacak ve 1,499 US$ ‘dan satışa sunulacak.

The EOS 60Da is going to be available later this month for US$1,499
