Canon issued a product advisory about the 6D recently. Apparently, there is some sort of bug that doesn’t allow video files right from the camera to be uploaded to YouTube because the popular video sharing site doesn’t recognize the file format. Weird, huh?

The workaround: Edit the goddamn file to begin with because no one wants to see your unedited videos of kittens (yes we do) or to save the file via ImageBrowserEX and then upload it to YouTube. But for many, that still means that you need to use Canon’s software to begin with.

More details on the product advisory after the jump. Also be sure to check out our first impressions with the camera.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
