30Sep Canon EOS-M – first impressions
I think the Canon EOS-M might be my new recommendation for filmmakers on a tight budget. I used to recommend the Canon t2i, but the price of the EOS-M makes it very attractive. You get a much smaller form factor, more lens options thanks to the flange distance, and you no longer have to deal […]
26Sep Canon 22mm f2.0 EF-M $106
I actually had a lot of stuff planned for this week, but my truck was attacked by a pack of wild dogs (no joke) while I was working on a job. They actually ate the wiring harness, ABS wires, hydraulic lines, and managed to dislodge the front bumper. Feels like something you’d in an e-mail […]
17Sep Canon EOS-M discontinued, Still no replacement?
I’ve been seeing the Canon EOS-M price drops everywhere. With the development of Canon’s first new APS-C sensor in years (found in the Canon 70d), I thought we’d see an announcement of a new and improved EOS-M with a better auto focus system built around the new sensor. This morning I found several online […]
13Sep Canon EOS-M with 18-55mm $309
Newegg has the Canon EOS-m with 18-55mm kit lens on sale right now for $309. Sell the lens for $120 and you’ve effectively bought a t4i in a smaller package for $189. That’s a hell of a good price for a starter camera, even if the AF system isn’t great. Also note that just like […]
30Aug Speedbooster EOS M to EF mount coming soon?
Canon’s EOS-M camera is one of the only digital cameras in Canon’s lineup with a flange distance that’s small enough to support a speedbooster type adapter. Electronically, it’s also the easiest to adapt to Canon EF mount lenses. This video above appears to be showing a prototype version of a Speedbooster being used with an […]
30Aug Get Canon DPP and EOS utility without a disc
In the past if you bought a used Canon camera that was missing the Canon utility disc or you lost the EOS utility disc that came with your camera you were pretty much out of luck. You could visit Canon’s site and under downloads you’d find upgrades to the utility software but you couldn’t actually […]
20Jun Low price DIY Mōvi camera stabilizer alternative
By now most people have seen the Mōvi camera stabilizer. This handheld 3-axis digital stabilized camera gimbal provides very smooth steady cam style shots in a very compact package. The price of $15,000 might not seem to bad if you’ve had too invest in a high end Steadicam vests and sled, but it’s out of […]
12Jun Canon EOS-M $369
Even though the Canon EOS-M isn’t exactly the best camera for photography, it’s a decent camera for video. With the reduced flange distance you can easily adapt old Canon FD lenses as well as a number of other options. For video you’re basically working with a skinny t4i. If you are looking for a first […]
07Nov Eos-m to FD lens adapter, no extra glass needed.
When I mentioned the EOS-M camera announcement awhile back, you might remember me saying that the best reason to buy an EOS-M camera would be the up and coming EOS-M to FD adapter that would follow. I pointed out that the flange distance of the EOS-M to the sensor would be close enough to allow for the use […]
04Sep Cheaper Nexus 7 mount option for your DSLR RIG
The RAM mount adapter works as a secure way to mount the Nexus 7 tablet, but by the time you add all of the additional parts the price ends up being around $40. If you don’t need a mounting option that’s as rugged and want to save some money this tablet grip on ebay is only about $11. The get […]
