  • Canon at the Olympic Games

    The current rumour is that top hats from Canon Japan are currently travelling to China to support the imminent launch of one or two new SLR cameras for the brand. It would be the replacement for the Canon EOS 5D (the most repeated name is now Canon EOS 7D, but who knows) and the successor…

  • Hiroshima photos – never seen before

    On August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima was bombed with the first atomic weapon. U.S. serviceman Robert L.
