02Apr Canon 5d mark III HDMI output
With the exception of the 7d which has a crippled audio system, the 5d mark III is the first to have a fixed HD output. The HDMI signal registers on the monitor as a 1080i signal, but just like the Canon 7d the output signal is an odd cropped version of 1080i. With the screen info […]
01Apr Canon 5d mark III Hands on Video and my first impressions.
So far I’m very pleased with the 5d Mark III’s performance, although I will need to spend some more time testing the audio inputs. As of right now I’m not sure if it’s the camera or the mic that is the source of the noise and I haven’t had a chance to test out other microphones yet. More […]
31Mar Canon 5d mark III ALL-I playback outside your NLE
I haven’t had any problems editing the footage from the 5d mark III, but none of the normal programs I use for playback would handle the footage. I’ve been told the latest version of VLC player can handle it, but I dislike VLC player with a passion. Nothing but a pain every time I’ve tried […]
31Mar Tascam DR-40 Firmware installation video guide
A few folks e-mailed me that were having trouble installing the Tascam DR-40 firmware update so I figured the easiest thing to do was put together a how to guide. It also gave me a chance to do a little filming and editing with the Canon 5d mark III, but more on that in another post. […]
30Mar Canon 5d mark III just showed, first test 64gb SDXC ALL-I recording
The UPS guy was kind enough to make me his first stop this morning and dropped off the Canon 5d mark III. I’ve only had about an hour to fiddle around with it, but man does it feel nice. Almost the same ergonomics as my Canon 7d body with only a few buttons moved around. The […]
30Mar Digitalrev Canon 5d mark III v.s. Nikon D800 face off
If you haven’t picked a side in the Canon 5d mark III v.s. Nikon D800 debate this video from digitalrev seems like a fare mash up. It’s nice to see that Canon has finally caught up in terms of auto focus, but the massive megapixel count on the Nikon D800 does offer up a lot […]

Another Canon 5d mark III video review. This time from DigitalRev.
28Mar Canon 5d Mark III has finally shipped
Even though I managed to get my order for the Canon 5d mark III in at B&H almost as soon as the pre-order was available, the order was still delayed in the cue until their 4th shipment from Canon. As soon as the costumer service rep picked up the phone, he asked if this call was regarding […]
27Mar The Canon 5d mark III, still more affordable then the Nikon D800
A few people have asked me if I plan to spend any time with the Nikon D800 and if I would ever consider switching from Canon over to Nikon. Honestly, I am heavily invested in glass, above is my master prime set from left to right, the Canon 85mm f1.2, the Canon 50mm f1.2, the Canon 35mm f1.4, […]
25Mar Camera Clash Panasonic AF100 vs Canon 60D – Episode 1
The guys from Sideways Productions just posted the first episode of camera clash. It’s pretty interesting to see how the $3500 Panasonic AF100 stacks up against the Canon 60d. One thing to think about if you’re in the market for either one of these cameras is the standard features that come with a proper video camera like the […]
