Canon EOS R6 Mark II (Full-frame power and versatility)

Is your Dad a serious photography enthusiast? Does your Dad desire to capture every precious moment beautifully? Or is your Dad planning to move up from his smartphone to a more powerful and versatile camera? Smartphones while they may be convenient, they do falter when the lights go dim or when fast action takes place. Canon has a range of mirrorless cameras and a wide range of lenses that offer premium image quality for both enthusiasts and professionals.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a full-frame camera with hybrid features for still and movie shooting. Its 24.2 megapixel sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor enables the camera to capture sharp and detailed images with low image noise, even in low-light scenarios.

For photography, the camera can shoot up to 40 frames per second (fps) with its electronic shutter, allowing you to capture dynamic action photos of athletes, animals and vehicles.

This is further enhanced by deep learning technology that can automatically detect different subjects like trains, airplanes, dogs, and more to capture their images more precisely. The camera can also help you to lock focus on people’s features such as their left or right eye.

For videography, the camera can shoot 6K oversampled un-cropped 4K video up to 60 fps. For slow-motion video, it can capture Full HD movies at up to 180 fps. For long video shoots, you can also use the camera to shoot up to 6 hours.

Equipped with 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IS) and movie digital IS, the EOS R6 Mark II enables smooth movie shooting with less camera-shake blur. And if your dad is always on conference calls, the camera can be instantly plugged into computers and work seamlessly as a webcam that produces professional-level images.

The post Canon Christmas Gift Guide 2020 appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

A platform that would be very useful in my personal opinion. 5G networks and technology are in place and we should see them being fully implemented around the world in maybe one to two years time. Having covered 5G technology news and developments on my technology and business portal/blog, the ease, speed and low latency of 5G networks would be most useful for photographers to upload into the cloud platform, ensuring a speedy delivery of photographs to their backend/offices/digital editors/clients and even to back up their photography works immediately on their cloud platform. Photographers specialising in the following genres such as press, photojournalists, sports, commercial etc would find image.canon platform very useful in the 5G networks era.

This is a new camera cloud platform for photographers to connect their Canon cameras with users’ PCs, smartphones and external web services. This new cloud platform is set to commence operation on 14 April 2020 (1), his will enhance the post-photography workflow and give photographers a new way to enjoy the photography experience and the joy of photography.

The cloud platform image.canon is based on the concept of a “connected camera” linked to the cloud, enabling photographers to automatically (2) upload images and videos (3) in their original quality straight from their cameras that are equipped with automatic image transfer functionality via Wi-Fi. The Canon EOS R5 that is currently under development is one example of such cameras.

How does image.canon works?

This image.canon makes possible the transfer of image files to connected PCs, smartphones and external web services. The service provides new ways to enjoy photography and caters to a wide range of photographers seeking to improve their post-shoot workflows. This includes professionals who want to enhance their creative process, enthusiasts who want to streamline image editing and entry-level users who want to enjoy casual photography and share their images on social media.

Future Canon cameras equipped with automatic image transfer functionality will store uploaded images and videos files for up to 30 days (4). After the 30-day period, users can opt to continue storing the uncompressed data by migrating it to a 10 GB long-term storage account (5).

From its launch at the start on 14 April 2020, the image.canon service will make possible the automatic transfer of images to users’ accounts on such services as Google Drive. Starting from June, image.canon will expand both its partnership with Google to include original quality backup with Google Photos via Google One, a membership plan for expanded storage, and its partnership with Adobe Creative Cloud (membership plan). In addition to automatic transfer of images and the ability to edit images in their original quality on partnered services and applications, image.canon will make it easier for users to store and share their images.

As AI and 5G technologies are implemented, Canon will continue to propose new ways to capture images and enjoy photography by enabling cameras to communicate in both directions, such as remote, real-time editing of photos and videos captured at outdoor events, cloud-based RAW image data editing and capture assistance tailored to users’ preferences.

Notes:

(1) The CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Online Album Service will end operation on March 31, 2020, and image.canon will be a successor to the service. From the beginning of the data migration period on April 14, 2020 until its completion, users will not be able to access any image files or albums already uploaded to the service.

(2) All Canon cameras released before the EOS R5 will, at minimum, support manual file transfer. Manual file transfer will be enabled from the start of the new service on 14 April 2020. Automatic file transferring, available for cameras equipped with the automatic file transfer function, beginning with the currently-in-development EOS R5, requires users to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi access point that has been registered in advance.

(3) Original images are stored for 30 days from upload. There will be no capacity restrictions in general, however due to operational reasons to provide the service, there may be cases to restrict uploads.

(4) When uploading an original image file, a thumbnail file (up to dimensions of 2048 pixels) will be automatically generated and stored. Thumbnail files can still be viewed on image.canon at any time, even after expiration of the 30-day period following the original upload.

(5) Any file, including thumbnails, which the user does not access via image.canon for an entire 1-year period will be deleted from the service.
