Canon creates camera for women
It’s not April 1st, is it? Because this is funny enough to make me switch to Nikon. Crunchgear reports Canon is releasing the Powershot E1, a camera for women. It comes in ‘vanilla white’, ‘aqua blue’ and ‘cotton pink’ (i.e. … Continue reading
Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5
