NAB 2010 POV Tour

Apr 16, 2010 2 Comments by admin

Thought I’d give you all a sneak peak at NAB 2010 before I post my usual event coverage, which usually takes me a while to get done… This was more like a test, but I guess it turned out acceptable… and I promise I’ll have a proper mic, next time around… Hope you enjoy it! [...]

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 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 [...]

Z-Finder; the missing view…

Oct 14, 2009 2 Comments

Being in the middle of post production of a film which seems to be adding up to a 3 hour rough-cut, doesn’t leave me much time to enjoy my recently acquired 5D MKII. Now on a short break in Portugal, I’m catching up on lost time… Not long ago I wrote an article on the [...]

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

Sep 08, 2009 No Comments

I’ve been patiently waiting to make a decision. The 7D turmoil of rumored specs had an important role in holding me back, until they were officially announced… It was both an exciting and anguishing day for me. I sat through a 2 day shower of information at the Collision Conference trying to make sense of [...]

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 [...]

The amazing new camera that would be perfect only if…

Aug 19, 2009 4 Comments

After yesterday’s disappointment of Canon’s non announcement, my mind revisits all the ifs, buts, facts and myths that go into the final decision of which camera I’m going to get. The sad truth is that there is no “one perfect” solution out there.  Every time I think I’ve got my kit figured out, I find a [...]
