This is the plan that includes 20GB of storage and not the 1TB version of the subscription. On January 15, 2025, Adobe will be raising the Photography Plan (20GB) to $14.99 a month, up from $9.99 a month for all new subscribers. Existing monthly subscribers will see…

Yodobashi Camera’s top ranking for the last half of November includes a surprising #1 entry for the Canon EOS R1, which would have only been available for sale a few days before the ranking. Yodobashi Camera is a major Japanese retailer, so this looks at the Japanese market more than anything. Yodobashi Camera is atypically weighted more toward professional camera systems than consumer systems, which makes the number two X-M5 interesting. I would have used…

Even though Craig laid down the gauntlet for predictions on 2025, I think he cheated. Now I know why this last month, when chatting with him and asking him what would happen in 2025, he just shrugged and said, “I dunno.” It was all part of his evil plan. Without this being a complete copout, I honestly have no idea what Canon will do in 2025, and it really could be that Canon doesn’t know…
There is now a third kid on the block following SIGMA and Tamron as an official third-party manufacturer for the Canon RF mount. Samyang has officially launched the AF 12mm f/2 for APS-C cameras, which is a 19mm 35mm equivalent for APS-C cameras. This is an wide-angle lens for people on a budget and is usually given high marks for its build quality and performance. While Samyang partly markets this lens for astrophotography, it has…
I don’t think that I’ve ever done a predicitons post for the upcoming year on this site, so I decided to steal the idea and do one that is Canon focused. If I let this sit for days or weeks, the predictions would likely change every hour, so this is what I will go with and await being wrong a year from now with open arms.
