Canon’s recent announcement for the EOS R50 seems to have spelt not only the end for Canon’s EOS M APS-C mirrorless system but also some of the branding around the world. ITMedia reports that the “Kiss” branding, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, is coming to an end. It’s a name that began with Canon’s film cameras and stuck through all the way to the EOS M50 II, which sold as the EOS KISS M2.

While Kiss continued through three camera technologies (film, DSLR and mirrorless) the “Rebel” name in the USA doesn’t appear to have transitioned from DSLRs to mirrorless.

Most often, photo-bombers are those annoying, inebriated  trolls lurking in the shadows at parties or on the street.  But, every now and then, they come in the form of an innocent and hilarious child.

Knoxville-based photographer Leah Bullard was shooting the wedding of clients Michelle and Anthony when she asked the bride and groom to kiss.  It was at the moment that Michelle’s four-year-old daughter, Anderson, decided to steal the show and, with arm wrapped around his neck, plant a kiss firmly on the ring bearer’s lips.
