Few weeks ago we received one of the newest printer of Canon PIXMA, the MG6270. The MG6270 is a dual-function printer that scan and print. Essentially the A4 printer has the newest technology of PIXMA, including the Intelligent Touch System, Cloud Link services and hybrid ink system. The basics; read my iX6570 review to get some printer cum color management sorta primer. The built of the MG6270 is the same as the current models of PIXMA which has an elegant black glossy plastic finish or piano black as some may describe it. I’ll repeat it again, I’m not a big [...]

This 4th generation colorimeter is now called Spyder4Express.   Physical Attributes  The 3-legged spider colorimeter has received a design tweak by removing the suction cups. Looks like DataColor realized  the suction cups were useless on most monitors. In spite of the missing suction cups the adjustable counter weight is still there that balances the Spyder4Express on your monitor. The size and weight is just like its [...]

It’s beautiful ain’t it? I’m now salivating the idea that my EF-50mm f1.2 is on that beauty. Unluckily this is just a fantasy, a 3D rendition by the talented designer David Riesenberg. The mockup rendition was based from the classic Canon AE series. David is skeptical about Canon going back to this retro design as he told me from our email exchange. Will Canon be releasing one? We don’t know, but what I’m pretty sure is that they want a slice of the Mirrorless pie. See and read David’s full post.
