18Feb Canon 5d mark III body $2549
Another Ebay Canon 5d mark III sale. This time you can pick up a Canon 5d mark III body with free shipping for $2549 from seller 6ave. As with all of these ebay sales, they don’t last long, so if you want one you might want to move fast. The deal went up less than […]
18Feb FMX-DSLR, DXA-SLR, and Riggy XLR audio adapters side by side
Here we have (from left to right) the Juicedlink RM333 “Riggy” ($399), the Azden FMX-DSLR ($261), and the Beachtek DXA-SLR ($285) audio adapters. It’s easy to see that all three of these units are very similar in design, square boxes that are about the same form factor with a handful of volume control knobs on the […]
17Feb Canon EOS-M questions answered
I finally got my Canon EOS-M body back so I thought I’d take the opportunity to test a few things out and answer a few of the questions that have been coming in about the camera. To make sure everything is up to date, I went ahead and downloaded the latest nightly build of Magic […]
16Feb Samsung 840 EVO 1TB drive $499
If you are in the market for a very large capacity SSD drive, B&H has the Samsung 840 EVO 1TB drive on sale for $499. That’s about $60 under retail price and only $50 more than the Crucial M500 960GB SSD. The Samsung 840 EVO is currently my number 1 choice in SSDs on the market. Between the […]
16Feb Azden FMX-DSLR audio adapter – First Impressions
I just got the Azden FMX-DSLR XLR audio adapter in for testing. Similar in design to the Beachtek DXA-SLR, the FMX-DSLR offers up 2 XLR inputs, independent gain control, powered monitoring, AGC disable (if you have a camera that requires that) and 48V phantom power. Both units also have the same selection of AUX/XLR inputs and the […]

Canon 5d mark III bodies are back on sale again. Right now ebay seller t-dimension3 has a batch of Canon 5d mark III bodies from Hong Kong for just $2768 with free shipping. Since these are from Hong Kong I would guess that they are gray market. Still that’s a pretty good price on a new […]
13Feb Wasabi Canon BP-970G 8500 mAh c100/c300 battery
As I continue to uses the Canon c100 (which still has yet to impress me), I wanted to get a few more batteries for longer shoots. The Canon BP-955 batteries that come with the camera aren’t bad, providing about 3 hours of shooting time, but they will set you back around $150 a peace. After doing a […]

12Feb Asus ux32vd 840 EVO SSD upgrade video
I have the snappy Samsung 500GB 840 EVO, I have the $8 screwdriver set, and now it’s time to upgrade my Asus Zenbook ux32vd laptop. As you can see from the video the upgrade isn’t too hard, just a lot of tiny screws and shifting the battery around to get the hard drive out. Over […]
