Canon launches new cameras for those who want to level up from smartphones

MANILA -- Japan's Canon Inc. is confident that there is still a large market for cameras independent of smartphones as it introduced a new line of cameras, including two entry level DSLRs, a mid- to high-range digital camera, and a high-end point and shoot.

“With smartphones, there came a good culture of taking pictures. But after that, people look for quality and shoot better pictures," the company said at a recent press launch.

"If you want a long shoot, a mobile phone can’t help you. If you want a low light shoot, a mobile phone cannot help you. And also, when you want to use manual features, a mobile phone can help you but there are limitations.”

Canon said it's new cameras are meant for people who want to graduate from smartphone photography.

One of the main tech features introduced is real-time transmission to the mobile phone the moment the shutter is clicked through a Canon app available on iOS and Android. A photographer can get a cheaper phone with a lower quality camera but can still post high quality images on his or her social media platform of choice.

The gadget that got the loudest reactions from the audience, however, was not a camera but the EX470-AI flash. view source for more details

Nice tech for those who admire photography...the selfie queen/kings and those with low MP phones

But is it only iOS?....I assume they would come up with the Android version
