Canon EOS 300D Firmware Upgrade

Quote from the article:

“Canon EOS 300D is good by itself. At least by the fact that this is the first real reflex digital camera at the cost of a good compact digital camera. Its functionality practically didn’t suffer from the fight for the price. Interchangeable lenses, depth of field preview, manual and automatic shooting modes, RAW mode, external hot shoe, good image quality at variable ISO (100-800 settings). From its predecessor EOS 10D, the Rebel differs by its “soft” plastic case, controls, and smaller buffer size. But both hardware and software parts are mostly the same as in EOS 10D. This allowed Canon a “quick” launch of an inexpensive camera. This also allows to make almost 10D out of 300D (we should thank Canon for this opportunity, because it “didn’t break off the extra pins from the chips”). “

Cheap DSLRs: Huge savings on Canon, Nikon ahead of Mother’s Day

These days with the ubiquity of smartphones and the ever-advancing camera systems within them, most of us don't see the need to carry a separate camera anymore. For the vast majority of people, these cameras have become so good in recent years that it's just not necessary anymore. But there are limits to smartphone cameras, and even the best can't rival the quality of a DSLR.

DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex and is a staple in photographer's setups, both hobbyists and professionals alike. But they're quite expensive, so when good deals come around, it's a good idea to take advantage. If your mom is one that takes pictures of everything, why not consider an excellent affordable DSLR instead? Mother's Day is right around the corner.

Canon EOS R5 will be a video beast, with 8K RAW, 4K at 120 fps
canon eos r5 video details 8k raw 4k 120p april 2020 update 2

Canon has released yet another tease of its upcoming EOS R5, revealing new details about the mirrorless camera's video specifications. The new information largely confirms rumors that have been circulating for weeks and proves that the R5, the presumed new flagship of Canon's mirrorless line, will be a formidable force for filmmaking.

While 8K had previously been announced, resolution alone is rarely the determinant of image quality, especially as we push beyond 4K. We now know more specifics about exactly how the camera will process video, and it isn't just for those 33 million or so pixels that R5 will excel. It shoots 8K at 30 frames per second in either RAW or 10-bit 4:2:2 in the H.265 format with either Canon Log or HDR PQ color profiles. It does this internally, without requiring an external SSD or HDMI recorder, and without cropping the sensor.
