Canon 8-15mm f/4 L Fisheye - Sample photos

While at the Canon Expo 2010, I was able to take a few shots with a pre-production Canon 8-15mm f/4 L Fisheye on a Canon 5D Mark II. (I was not allowed to test this lens on my Canon 7D.) All images were hand-held.

Canon Expo 2010 - Future Concepts

When you start talking about HD Video, eventually someone brings up RED. Well, Canon is showing a working proof of concept camera that is their response to RED. Actually, it is a double barrel response - a 4K Camera/Camcorder with a compact 24-480mm lens and a 8K camera/camcorder with video at 8192×4320 UHDTV next-gen imaging.

But, Canon has a lot of future tech on display including their 8K LCD displays which are as big an advance as HDTV was over Standard Def TV. The 8K display of the same image reveals so much more tonal depth that the image looks virtually 3D. Then, there is the monster 300mm CMOS sensor which fits an 8×10 camera but can capture an image in complete darkness (perfect for astro-photography). Canon also displayed a 120 million pixel CMOS sensor in APS-H size and a 50 million pixel APS-H panorama “egg” camera. The Canon Single Shot Multi Band Camera captures standard RGB plus dark red, orange and light green. That’s 6-color channels in a single shot!

canon-expo-2010 When I first heard about the Canon Expo 2010, I assumed that it was to promote their business products. Thankfully, I was wrong. All of the Canon lines will be fully presented including Canon Professional Photography, Video, Imaging and Printing Products. Even Canon Consumer Products will be on display. Just imagine … the Javits Covention Center filled with Canon products. Sounds like a great time!

Any lingering doubts were resolved when I looked at the seminar list (see below). It includes a mix of top photographers and top Canon spokespeople. If you are in New York City on Sept. 2 & 3, you should register for the Expo and sign-up for some of the free seminars. They are filling up, so act fast.
