Canon has revealed their new Deep learning image processing technology. At the moment it’s not clear when Canon will open this tech to their customers and if it also will be implemented directly into their cameras. But certainly this is impressive stuff and I hope it will be available soon for every photographer.
Here is the google translated text from their press release:
At last Sigma announced their first Z-mount lenses!
