Sensor cleaning; The plague of the century!

Jan 27, 2010 6 Comments by

It’s been a while I’ve been silent… Yes, I’ve been busy trying to finish my never ending film, but the excitement of the first 5D videos and the expectations of what would be new in cameras like the 7D and 1D has come to an end… so I’ve been a lot less inspired to write… [...]

It’s been a crazy couple of months in RadRaven’s land… I have now approximately 99.5% of “Road to Red” in the can and a 2h30m rough-cut, growing on 3… Two major things should be mentioned about this last unit: 1. I didn’t resist! I used my 5D to shoot several pieces for my film, which [...]

It’s been an interesting week… I was about to hop on a plane back from Portugal when I saw Stu’s new blog post in my RSS feed. I can tell you I was pretty late when I got to the airport… The one 1D Mark IV could be the camera so many of us have [...]

It’s been a good 3 years since I’ve attended the Dv Expo… It’s a show I have a certain affection for. It was the first exhibition of this kind I attended when I moved to the US and a year later I had my first short film screened at it’s own festival; the DV Film [...]

The announcement of the 7D and my decision to buy a 5D.

6:45 on a Sunday morning and Image Mechanics used the same trick to get me out of bed… Of course I didn’t expect to win any raffle prizes, but with my luck I knew my number would be drawn if I wasn’t there… haven’t quite figured out how to beat this system, yet… It was [...]

It’s official! Canon Rumors reported the official date for a press release scheduled for the 1st of September to announce the rumored new SLRs. Expectations now split between the 7D and the 1D Mark IV, although some say that the 1D replacement should only come out in 2010, to complete Canon’s traditional 3 year life [...]
