The post Celebrate a Festive Holiday Season with Canon Singapore appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

I have been a part of Canon’s journey with their digital SLR and mirrorless cameras since 2004 with the Canon EOS 300D to my current Canon EOS 1DX Mark II and Canon EOS RP today, in between 2004 till now, the EOS 30D, EOS M, EOS 1D Mark III, EOS 70D and EOS 1DX, all came into my photography setup, they played an integral role in my photography journeys, adventures and growth over all these years, that can be viewed here in my flickr photography collections.

As Canon celebrates their 17th year maintaining the No.1 share of the global market, let me share more about Canon’s imaging system.

Canon develops the key imaging system components featured in its EOS series of interchangeable-lens cameras – CMOS image sensors, image processors and interchangeable lenses – under the core concept of, “Speed, Comfort and High Image Quality.” Putting together a wide-ranging product lineup – from high-performance flagship models that are highly trusted by professionals to entry-level models that allow users to enjoy high-image-quality shooting with easy operation – Canon continues to support the diverse needs of customers.

During the dawn of digital SLR cameras, Canon introduced its breakthrough EOS Kiss Digital (EOS Digital Rebel or EOS 300D in other regions) in September 2003. This groundbreaking camera, which was competitively priced and featured a compact, lightweight design, captured the top share of the global market and set the stage for growth in the digital SLR market. Since that time, Canon has continued to launch a range of groundbreaking products, including the professional-model EOS-1D series and the EOS 5D series, which paved the way for digital SLR video recording.

Canon introduced new possibilities for photographic expression with the launch of the EOS R System in October 2018. Including such products as the EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera and RF lenses that fully leverage the company’s optical technologies, the new products helped further expand the Canon EOS System.

In 2019, Canon launched a wide range of attractive products (2) including the EOS RP full-frame mirrorless camera (March) and EOS 90D DSLR (September). In striving to further expand its lineup, Canon managed to secure the No. 1 share of the global market for the 17th consecutive year.

Canon is also currently developing the EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera, equipped with a newly developed full-frame CMOS sensor and featuring high-speed continuous shooting for still images and 8K video recording. What’s more, the company is currently developing 9 RF lens models, including the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM, and plans to release them throughout the course of 2020.

Canon will continue to refine its diverse imaging technologies based on its core optical technology, to expand and create an even stronger EOS System for both DSLR and mirrorless cameras that opens up new avenues of image capture to meet the needs of increasingly diverse users and to promote the spread of photo and video culture.

“Delighting You Always”, that’s Canon’s slogan, the words that I heard and learnt from my visit to Canon EXPO Shanghai 2016, they have always been doing it, living up to their slogan and delivering through their imaging solutions of digital SLR and mirrorless cameras over all these years.

The post Canon Celebrates 17th Year Leading Global DILC Market appeared first on TGH Photography and Travel Portal/Blog.

I started my Canon EOS journey with the EOS 300D in 2004, before moving on and up the Canon EOS DSLR family hierarchy with the Canon EOS-1DX Mark II. This series of Canon DSLR camera is the camera that got me into Canon’s family of EOS cameras and lenses, didn’t look back, always “Delighting You Always”. For those who are planning to learn more about photography, moving up from smartphone camera or compact cameras, the Canon EOS 850D is a camera model that they can consider. The amount of features packed inside this compact Canon EOS 850D makes it easy to learn, use and enjoy photography.

What are the features packed inside this Canon EOS 850D? Let me share with you more information below:

“Equipped with advanced capabilities and semi-pro features, the EOS 850D is an affordable option for those looking to elevate their photography,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. “With a myriad of functions suited for shooting different genres, the EOS 850D is a versatile camera that also serves as a great movie shooting companion with its strong video capabilities such as the 4K time-lapse movie function.”

Weighing approximately 515g, the EOS 850D comes with a 24.1-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 imaging processor for superior image quality. With an improved max ISO performance to 25,600 for still images and expandable to 51,200, the EOS 850D possesses exceptional low-light capability and is perfect for shooting at night and in dark places.

The EOS 850D also comes with an optical viewfinder that is equipped with excellent shooting performance and controls. During viewfinder shooting of up to 7 fps, users will not experience any time lag, and with all cross-type 45 point AF, a wider area can be covered to allow flexibility in composing and tracking. With EOS iTR AF, subject tracking performance will be enhanced through a face detection function, which enables users to detect faces even in environments where skin colour detection is lost against the background. It is made possible with information from the 220,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor.

During Live View shooting, Dual Pixel CMOS AF on the EOS 850D makes it possible to achieve high-speed AF. When it is paired with a compatible lens, AF is possible in an approximately 88% horizontal by 100% vertical area, allowing more freedom in composition. With free composition, users are able to achieve fast and comfortable Live View shooting with the EOS 850D. Since the EOS 850D can specify any position from a maximum of 3,975 AF positions, it is possible to move the AF point smoothly, making it easier to pinpoint AF on the subject and focus as desired.

Additionally, Eye Detection AF is available on the EOS 850D, enabling the camera to automatically focus on the eyes of the human subject and allowing the user to focus on capturing natural expressions while ensuring a sharp focus, even when the subject is in motion.

Operation-wise, the new Quick Control Dial allows for easy setting changes and image search. Located in positions on the camera body that can be easily accessed, users can quickly change camera settings by simply turning the dials. Additionally, the new AF-ON button on the back of the EOS 850D allows the user to operate autofocus separately. When shooting a moving subject, pressing the AF-ON button allows the camera to keep tracking the subject with AI Servo AF and the shutter release button allows the user to concentrate on timings their shots perfectly and not miss out on crucial moments.

A Great Movie Shooting Companion

On top of its advanced features for stills, the EOS 850D is able to record 4K UHD video in 23.98p/25p format for a cinematic feel and Full HD video in 59.94p/50p format. The 4K time-lapse movie function allows users to easily capture stunning day-to-night time-lapse movies of cityscapes in ultrahigh resolution through a selection of pre-set scenes or simple manual settings.

The EOS 850D also incorporates in-body electronic Image Stabilization to enable “Movie digital IS” for steady vlog or handheld movies. The 3-inch 1.04 million-dot Vari-angle touch panel LCD monitor makes it easy to shoot video from high or low angles.

Users can expect seamless connectivity with Wi-Fi available on the camera for easy transfer of images to smartphones and laptops. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is also available for remote shooting with smartphones through the Canon Camera Connect app.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing and availability of the EOS 850D will be advised at a later date.
