Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
I have been digging through some sample images with the 7D Mark II. So far, I’m very impressed. I will have a bigger selection of photos later this week hopefully, but I wanted to share this 100% comparison of ISO 3200 images shot with the 7D Mark II and 5D Mark II. [Read more…]
New rumors suggest that Nikon will announce a special version of the D810 for astrophotography in the next couple of days.
If this turns out to be true, expect a similar setup to Canon’s 60Da, which features a modified infrared filter and a low-noise sensor with heightened hydrogen-alpha sensitivity and allows the camera to better capture red hydrogen emission nebulae and other cosmic phenomena.

[UPDATE: The 5Ds and 5Ds R have been officially announced. Click here for all of the details, pricing and availability.]
The Canon 5Ds and 5Ds R cameras are due to be announced later this week and the leaks just keep on coming. The latest leak reveals a more detailed specification list that further confirms the 50MP full frame sensor and other powerful features of the new cameras.
The new 5Ds is believed to feature the same body construction with the 5D Mark III; however, there are some serious upgrades inside that body. [Read more…]
Zack Arias posted this nice little perspective review on what factored into his choice of the Panasonic GH4 as his dedicated video camera. He talks about other choices from Canon, Sony and Blackmagic and why he stuck with Fuji for stills and has two completely separate systems. He goes into much greater detail on the reasons for choosing the GH4 system for video on his blog here at Dedpxl.
If you saw an earlier post on this, it was a little premature, but now the Canon 1D C can be legitimately purchased in the US for $7,999, which is down $4000 from its previous retail price of $11,999.
The camera launched for $13,000 in 2012 and briefly dipped below $10k early last year as part of a promo deal. At $7,999, the 1D C is one of the most affordable, pro 4K cameras – matching the price of the Sony FS7 full-fledged cinema camera.
You can find the Canon 1D C at its new “affordable” price here at B&H Photo.
It’s time for our weekly break from the gear for a few minutes so we can enjoy another round of reader photos from the Photography Bay Flickr Group.

[updated] Oops. So I may have misread something and you should probably check back here in a couple of days for something about a certain camera.
Alongside the new Canon 5Ds and 5Ds R, the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens is expected to be released next week. Some details on the specs for this lens leaked out today as well. [Read more…]

The Canon Digital Rebel Series has been around since 2003 and has been the most popular DSLR over the past decade. Before the Digital Rebel, the Canon Rebel brand was already very strong with several film cameras a part of the product line. There are so many lenses in Canon’s product line. And then, when you consider all the lenses offered by third party manufacturers like Sigma, Tamron and Tokina, knowing which lens to purchase can get confusing.
My goal is to identify the lenses that meet your needs and wants, while keeping them in a budget range to match the camera that you use. [Read more…]
