while it’s one sweet update, there are a few things still on the radar for this workhorse of a still + video machine. here’s what i’ve picked up in a day of use under the latest update;
Note: Firmware v. 2.0.3 does not add the HD 1280×720 resolution option that is available in other EOS models, [...]

back from an intl trip last week + had a question that fits timing wise in more ways then one – “you’ve mentioned pelican cases before, what’s your fav travel tools + best way to protect gear”?
thanks for the question bob. this is tough + easy. easy because there are a number of options (lowepro, [...]

new tools are refining our workflow, from camera to output, like never before. on a near daily basis there’s great new ideas to test + possibly put into place. that’s not to say that everything i like is adopted immediately or even at all but you’ve got to stay on top of anything that propels [...]

during the course of any give year i do a handful of talks + presentations that vary from teaching style to pure fun, from stills to video mash ups. if there’s one thing that comes with these it’s that you’ve got to have a nice little kit together to make them all successful as each [...]

the biggie for the general public is the apple keynote earlier this week from the [...]

outstanding news from the largest camera maker on the planet + something that huge numbers of us out in the field have been pulling for. canon is introducing the first ever full frame DSLR with manual exposure video control in june. this includes aperture, shutter + ISO. absolutely fantastic. and making the deal even sweeter [...]

here’s a great way to start the week – a sweet mix of inspiration in the form of new hacks + variations and a discussion on crap.
one of public radio’s greatest features is no doubt, this american life, hosted by ira glass. a long time radio host/producer who’s now expanded into tv. you know that [...]

to follow up on my last post regarding ethics in photography, it’s no doubt a can of worms. the photographers i spoke with about it are conflicted on each side. regardless of the specific issues the argument boils down to “i’d never touch that kind of dirty money” or “i’d take every red cent and [...]
