This is a joke :) Canon Now Including ‘Professional Photographer’ Certificate With All Cameras Costing At Least $599
Babylonbee (via Petapixel) writes that a Canon spokesman said:
“If you spend at least $599 on a camera, you’re instantly transformed into a professional photographer, and now you have the documentation to prove it. In a lot of professions, you have to take classes or practice for years before you truly become a professional, but not in photography. Just buy one of our budget to mid-range cameras, and you’re in.”
It’s a joke folks :)

New CIPA April camera shipment data: Still super bad sales…
The new April CIPA data has been published. And those of you that had some hopes things would go better this month can stop reading this article now. Your hopes were misplaced.
April 2019 system camera shipments were 27% lower in terms of units compared to April 2018. A quarter less cameras shipped…That’s a big deal! Of course it doesn’t help yet that Sony didn’t announce any new camera. Still, you would have expected the Canon RP and Panasonic S sales to fill the void…

All we know for sure is that the lens will be officially announced this week already!
