13Mar Wasabi LP-E6 battery and charger combo
I’ve tried out a number of different generic decoded batteries on the market and the majority of those batteries worked fine in the Canon 7d and 5d mark II. Unfortunately this hasn’t been the case with the Canon 6d and 5d mark III. Canon has crippled their new cameras with all kinds of battery detection, […]
12Mar Canon EOS-M in-depth film kit overview video
As promised here is the in-depth EOS-M film kit overview with a close look at pretty much everything in my kit. I’m working on a full review of the EOS-M and hope to have it up before I get flooded by NAB content. Although I have a number of Canon FD lenses, Crini mentioned the […]
10Mar Quick look at my EOS-M film kit
Here’s a quick look at the basic kit I’ve been using with the Canon EOS-M body. This bag has been lent out on 5 different shoots so far and everyone that’s used it seems to be pretty happy with the results. This is just a quick overview, I should have a deeper look at the […]
10Mar Panasonic GH4k $1699 pricing and Pre-orders
Pre-order’s are now available on B&H for the Panasonic GH4k. It looks like Panasonic has surprised everyone with a lower than estimated price of $1699. That puts the Panasonic GH4k within arms reach of Canon 6d pricing and well below the Canon 5d mark III. If the GH4k lives up to even half the hype surrounding its announcement, Canon […]
09Mar Samsung 840 EVO RAPID mode problem solved.
I picked up the Samsung 840 EVO a few weeks back and mentioned I was having trouble getting RAPID mode to work correctly on my desktop. After a few emails back and forth with Samsung I was finally able to get the problem sorted out. Turns out the latest version of Samsung Magician 4.3 has […]
07Mar Behind the scenes in the DSLR FILM NOOB studio
A few of you were asking about the DSLR FILM NOOB studio, so I thought I’d give you a quick walk through. The studio is currently a disaster area right now. I’ve been in and out on a number of jobs and instead of putting things away I’ve been leaving stuff on the floor and other […]
07Mar PNY 128GB USB 3.0 thumb drive quick review
I was looking for a fast USB 3.0 thumb drive with a lot of storage space for travel. Having a high capacity thumbdrive can be pretty handy when you are collaborating on projects and you never know when you’re going to need to share or grab media files. After doing some research I settled on […]
06Mar Samsung 840 EVO 750GB SSD $359
The Samsung 840 EVO 750GB SSD just showed up on ebay for $359 with 99 cent shipping. Sold by Newegg, the 750GB SSD clocks in at just under 48 cents a GB. It’s nice to see that the Samsung 840 evo is still maintaining its price to value lead. I think Samsung has a clear […]
05Mar Aputure VS-3 V-Screen Field monitor review
I’ve been testing and using the Aputure VS-3 Field monitor for a few months now and it’s been a reasonably positive experience. The VS-3 sits in a sweet spot between higher end monitors and the sub $200 offerings. Features are pretty good for the price and it’s one of the few monitors that offers up […]
