Welcome to Day 11. We hope you enjoyed the lead-up to Christmas and are safely travelling or seeing friends and family soon. The 11th day is 11 pipers piping. That sounds like a racket to me. But maybe I’m too much like this guy now. It’s still possible to get delivery, believe it or not, if you have same-day delivery available from Amazon. Still, other than that, you are hitting up your big box store or Walmart and braving the lineups and mad rush in the last little while of shopping left. Good luck to you all. For today and…

A recent article from Business Standard reported on Canon’s strategic expansion plans in the Indian market. The report touched on several subjects, as Canon sees India as an emerging large market for Its equipment, from medical systems to semiconductor fabrication equipment. Business Standard sat down with India President and CEO Toshiaki Nomura, and we included some of the quotations from the article here.

Welcome to Day 10. Now, I should add here that we should have started our 12 days of Christmas on Christmas Day, but since no one shops on Christmas, really only the day after Christmas (at least in Canada), that seemed to be moot, and it seemed more sensible to run this list before Christmas. So we hope you enjoyed your Christmas shopping and are excitedly waiting for Christmas! The 10th day is 10 lords a-leaping. I guess they are leaping after the nine ladies dancing. If so, there is one unlucky chap without a dance partner. For this, we’ll…
Bill Claff of PhotonsToPhotos has analyzed the RAW files for the EOS R1 and produced data on how the R1 stacks up with the other Canon cameras and the competition. When compared against Canon’s competition for this camera, namely the Sony A1, Nikon Z9, and the Sony A9III, they all measure in around the same for low ISO dynamic range with Nikon at 10.61, Sony A1 at 11.34, and Canon’s R1 wedged in between at 10.82 stops dynamic range. It’s easy to see that the flagship cameras are tuned to speed and higher ISO performance than low ISO performance, as…

Welcome to Day 9. We have 4 days before Christmas. I hope all of you have a very safe and wonderful start to the Christmas festivities this weekend. Day 9 is nine ladies dancing. There’s some Christian symbolism that fits with the number nine, which some suggest is the deeper meaning, others suggest it’s simply meant as celebration and joy. Whatever the case may be, for this, and with time now short between now and Christmas, order and get whatever you need shipping soon. I was trying to think what could be photography related to “nine ladies dancing” and the…
