T
he Canon autofocus
35 mm SLR and DSLR camera system was announced in 1987. The Canon EOS (Electro-Optical System) featuring the EOS 650 camera. EOS is still being promoted as Canon's present DSLR system. In Greek mythology, The Titan Goddess of dawn Eos was chosen as an acronym EOS, and is most often spoken as a single word (i.e., EE-oss), although many people spell the letters out. No official correct pronunciation exists, as both seem as logical.

EF is an acronym for "Electro-Focus". The EF lens mount permits all Canon EF lenses ever produced to be mounted on any
Canon EOS camera manfactured by Canon Inc. Different from the the FD mount, EF's breech-lock ancestor, the EF mount employs a bayonet-style mount. EF lens auto focusing is controlled by a dedicated electric motor configured in the lens. The interaction between the camera and lens occurs through electrical contacts without benefit of plungers or mechanical levers.
An offshoot of the EF mounting system, Canon added the EF-S lens support, in 2003, designed only for EOS digital cameras featuring a 1.6x crop produced after 2003. Any other Canon EOS camera that features an EF mount only will not permit mounting of EF-S lenses.

1D Mark IV
Canon scores a touchdown with. the 1-D Mark IV. I have shot with a number of Canons, but seriously I have a preference for Nikons, especially since the D3 was released. I Continued to stick it out with the 1D3 and despite all the not too positive reviews, worked exceptionally good for me.
As the D3S was announced, it took everything in my power to defy clicking the "buy now" button, but. I waited to see how the 1DIV specifications would look before I decided to either be loyal to Canon or like a great number of other Canon professional body shooters and switch to the new Nikon

Canon 60D
This Canon EOS 60D has turned into a huge improvement when compared to the Canon 50D. The first of many changes is the inclusion of 1080/30p move capability, complete with a lucid LCD monitor, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) output plus a microphone input. Although the 60D still contains the same image sensor that the Rebel T2i has, video,
enthusiasts will without doubt favor the 60D, the rotatable LCD monitor, audio gain control plus the white balance is now in 1/3-stop settings.

 Canon XS

The Canon EOS XS (1000D) DSLR is overlooked many times because a large number of people are praising the XSI, its "bigger brother" . But check out a side-by-side comparison and you will see that very little has been withheld on the XS. Hang on to that extra cash to buy better lenses. I would even speculate that future firmware releases will fix some of those so-called scaled-back features. Announced
