John Aldred

It’s been rumoured for while now that Canon would start introducing LCDs into their lenses. Last week, we even saw some suggestions as to what they might display, thanks to a couple of newly released patents. Well, now, all the guesswork is over. Canon have officially announced the EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II USM lens. Like […]

Canon is finally joining the mirrorless camera game; announce a ‘real’ M5

Udi Tirosh

For several years Canon had a love hate relationship with mirrorless technology. They did not want to hurt their DSLR sales so they did not release anything good. On the other hand, they could not avoid the future. This led to the weird M line, which was better as an aesthetic piece than as a […]

Canon EOS 5D mk IV is the best of Canons (but still behind Sony and Nikon), DxOMark says

Udi Tirosh

You know that you were waiting for this. After trashing the Canon 5Dmk4 no clean HDMI output, Rolling shutter issues and lack of many video features, finally there is something nice to say about the camera. The final score is 91, which is better than any camera in the Canon line up. But, according to DxO, […]

John Aldred

What is it with all these “world’s firsts” lately? It almost seems like companies are trying to outdo each other for an ego stroke, no matter how ludicrous their announcement may be. Well, now, it’s Laowa’s turn. Again. The first new lens is the 7.5mm f/2 for Micro Four Thirds cameras, the widest f/2 lens ever designed […]

TetherTools wants some CamRanger action, launches Case Air wireless tether at half the price

Udi Tirosh

CamRanger was almost a solo player in the wireless tethering arena for a very long time. While some suspected that CamRanger was simply an upgraded TPLINK 3040 router, the fact was that it delivered. Now Tethertools are making their  entry into this market and I am curious to see how they will match up. Their device is […]

John Aldred

A little more information is coming out on the two new Nikon KeyMission 80 bodycam, and KeyMission 170 action cam. The most obvious one being that the KeyMission 80 appears to be coming in multiple colour options. I’m not quite sure what’s going on with the silver & leather look one, though. Perhaps it’s supposed […]

Syrp’s new Slingshot is a motion control zipline that lets you dolly your camera for hundreds of feet

John Aldred

Creating super long slider or dolly shots is something many timelapse photographers and filmmakers dream about doing. For some, hyperlapse techniques and a lot of post production work is the answer. For others, that’s far too much work. When you look at the whole process, you can quickly see why. For others, the solution is […]

Movie captures amazing milkey way with Canon MH20f-SH shooting at 400,000 ISO

Udi Tirosh

I’ll admit that when Canon first launched the MH20f-SH I was kind of skeptic. I mean what in the galaxy are the uses for a 4,000,000 ISO camera? Well, Ben Canales just proved that there are cinematic visions that can use this tool. Ben used the Canon ISO beast to shoot an exceptional video where the Milky Way is […]
