Best Professional DSLR Lens in 2012<\/strong> \u2013 The Canon EF8-15mm f\/4L Fisheye USM<\/a>, which can produce either full frame or circular fisheye images, was recognised for its 180-degree field of view offering \u201cexceptional creative capture capabilities.\u201d Noted for its \u201cexceptional optical design, quality and durability,\u201d the jury singled out the premium L-series lens\u2019s SWC (Subwavelength Structure Coating), which \u201creduces ghosting effects and flare,\u201d and fluorite coating for \u201ceasy cleaning of the large front element.\u201d<\/p>\n

Incorporating an approximately 18-megapixel CMOS sensor and dual DIGIC 5+ image processors, the pro-model camera offers a \u201cwell-balanced package of image quality and shooting speed.\u201d The TIPA jury members lauded the newly engineered 61-point AF system as \u201cthe fastest and most accurate ever,\u201d enabling the camera to \u201cdetect and track fast-moving subjects even in low-light conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best Video DSLR in 2012<\/strong> \u2013 According to the TIPA jury, the EOS 5D Mark III<\/a> further improves on the experience offered by the 5D Mark II, a camera that \u201cchanged the landscape of digital photography.\u201d Delivering both high-quality still images and video in a single camera, the 5D Mark III was praised for its newly designed 61-point AF system and \u201cincredibly high ISO sensitivity,\u201d as well as such movie functions as manual exposure control.<\/p>\n

Best Expert Compact Camera in 2012<\/strong> \u2013 The PowerShot G1 X<\/a> was lauded for its \u201cDSLR-like image quality, but in a compact camera-style body with an excellent fixed zoom lens.\u201d Featuring a large 4:3 aspect ratio 14.3-megapixel CMOS sensor that is similar in size to the APS-C sensors used in EOS DSLR cameras, the G1 X \u201cdelivers superior image quality even when working in low light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best Professional Video Camera in 2012<\/strong> \u2013 According to the TIPA panel, \u201cCanon called upon expertise from diverse fields, including sensors, image processors and optics\u201d to develop the \u201crevolutionary\u201d EOS C300<\/a>.

Featuring \u201clandmark video camera technology,\u201d the C300\u2019s high-resolution approximately 8.3-megapixel Super 35 mm-equivalent CMOS sensor was especially developed for the camera while both the EF- and PL-mount versions offer modular architecture for increased expandability.<\/p>\n
