  1. <p dir="ltr">The new entry-level DSLR from Canon, the EOS Rebel T6 camera makes it easy to share photos and videos to social media sites via compatible smartphones, mobile devices, and Canon’s Connect Station CS100.<br>

    <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18198427-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="544" /><br>

    </p>

    <p dir="ltr">The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera includes new automatic modes for beginner photographers. The camera’s new “white priority” Auto White Balance setting enables photographers to take photos with a more neutral tone when shooting under incandescent lighting. The Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accessing faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast and camera stability. Then it chooses the exposure and enhancements best for that scene so photographers can focus on composition. The new ‘Food Mode’ enhances the color and brightness of food images while simultaneously making the images ready to share. Other fully automatic exposure modes include portrait, night portrait, landscape, sports, and close-up. In addition to the automatic modes, the new Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera provides complete manual exposure and focus controls plus RAW image output.<br>

  2. <p><a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/">Sigma</a> has announced the release of its new Sigma Global Vision lens converter, <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/mount-converter-mc-11">the Mount Converter MC 11</a>, for Sony E-mount, full frame and APS-C sensor cameras. The new MC-11, will allow Sony camera operators to utilize 19 Global Vision lenses in Sigma Canon Mount (EOS) and Sigma Mount (SA).</p>

    <p>The MC-11’s LED display tells Sony users if the attached Sigma lens is compatible and if the MC-11 needs to be updated for that lens. Its internal control data system stores information on each compatible Sigma lens, and automatically optimizes performance of AF drive, aperture control and other critical lens functions. The Sigma MC-11 converter can be updated with the latest compatible lens information using the <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/service-support/product-software-and-firmware-download">Sigma Optimization Pro</a> software and <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/accessories/lens-customization/sigma-usb-dock">Sigma USB Dock</a> (sold separately). The internal control data system on the MC 11 also maintains continuity with camera functions that regulate brightness and correct transverse chromatic aberration, distortion, and more. Compatibility with both Sigma lens OS and Sony in-camera OS, provides correction of camera shake and other stability issues. When used with in-camera stabilization, MC-11 enables angle shake correction in the lens. The integrated flocking helps prevent internal reflections and reduction in lens performance. The MC-11 also retains relevant EXIF data so that users can analyze every detail of their lens setting. </p>

    <p>The Mount Converter MC 11 retails from Sigma at $249.00. To read more from Sigma about the MC 11, and to see Sigma's Global Vision Lens Compatibility Chart, click <a href="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/article/mount-converter">here!</a></p>

  9. <p><strong>No extra battery, no problem</strong>...hope its sunny out! Mountable action cameras appear to be a common theme here at CES - this one has an interesting twist. <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160104005778/en/ACTIVEON-4K-Action-Camera-Solves-Common-Power">ACTIVEON SOLAR X can re-charge with the sun, and is coming in March. </a> X Station is able to charge the Solar X camera up to 80% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 60 minutes. The ACTIVEON Solar X provides a total battery life of six hours. This includes two hours of battery life from the built-in battery and an additional four hours of battery life with a fully charged X Station. This nice feature coupled with 4K performance! <br>

  10. <p><strong>Whats that? Did you say Kodak again!? </strong>Yes sir! Kodak is turning into a (insert saucy British accent) "naughty little minx" here by offering up a 4K action camera with 12.4-megapixel sensor and a dome-ish lens boasting a 235-degree field of view. Yes, yes...you'll need 2x of these and place them back to back to get all 360 BUT Kodak will help you out there and they'll bundle them together for $899. Giddy up Kodak! Nice work! <br>

Will be released in the spring and no price tag yet but nice to see them willing to hop in the ring and get a little dirty. Yes a wee bit late to the game BUT better late than never!

  15. <p dir="ltr">Canon has announced today that the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Professional Inkjet Printer will be released at the end of this month! </p>

    <p>The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Professional Inkjet Printer will be the first in a new series of printers from Canon. These imagePROGRAF printers will have the recognizable Canon red line across the printer which reflects Canon’s EF L-Series lenses, indicating that this printer is the perfect partner for Canon’s other high end professional products. The print head on the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is 50 percent larger than the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer, which not only increasing the number of nozzles per channel but also means that high-resolution is maintained at faster print speeds. The new print head also includes improvements to lessen clogs and cut down on cleaning cycles and wasted ink.</p>

    <p>Other innovations included with the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 are new inks, a new processing engine and printer architecture. Thanks to the LUCIA PRO 11-color plus Chroma Optimizer ink system, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 has an increased color gamut of up to 19 percent over the PIXMA PRO-1 printer. The new processing engine and printer architecture enable high-speed processing of image data for demanding workflows and control the balance of inks and the precise placement of ink droplets for accurate ink ejectionand improved color evenness.</p>

    <p>The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 comes with it’s own software to complete the process. Print Studio Pro, a plugin for Adobe® Photoshop®, Adobe Lightroom® and Canon Digital Photo Professional exports files straight to the printer. Additional software includes, Accounting Manager, which allows users to manually enter their costs of ink, paper, etc. and therefore, keep track of their total printing expenses.</p>

    <p>The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Professional Inkjet Printer will be available at the end of October for a suggested retail price of $1,299.99 for the printer and $59.99 for each color, $54.99 for the Chroma Optimizer.<br>
