22May Canon 5d mark III body $2599
I’ve been happily shooting on a pair Canon 5d mark III’s since the camera was released and despite the improvements in image quality other cameras might offer I still find it an enjoyable experience. If you bought the 5d mark III when I did you would have paid around $3200, but the price for a […]

08Apr Sony a7s high ISO testing up to 80,000 – I’m in love
I mentioned last night that I was very impressed with the Sony a7s low light performance. But sometimes you really have to see it to believe it. Sony was kind enough to let me hang out at their booth and shoot these high ISO tests. They wouldn’t let me use a memory card in the […]

18Mar Canon 5d mark III 1.2.3 firmware Magic Lantern support
One of the main reasons I haven’t been using Magic Lantern on my 5d mark III bodies is that up until recently using Magic Lantern on the 5dmkIII meant you needed to downgrade the older 1.1.3 firmware on your camera to get things working. While raw video is a novel concept, I haven’t found it all that […]
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.

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 […]
26Feb Azden FMX-DSLR XLR audio adapter in the field
I took the Azden FMX-DSLR out on a shoot earlier this week in an effort to get a feel for it in the field. Instead of mounting the FMX-DSLR on the bottom of the camera I opted to mount it underneath of a rail mounted belly pan. This keeps the camera at the same level and […]
