March 6, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Canon 5D Mark II Price Drop

Now that the 5D Mark III is out for a whopping $3500, it looks like we’re gonna be seeing some price breaks on the 5D Mark II, which appears to remain in the lineup.

B&H currently has the 5D Mark II for only $2199 for the body only and $2999 for the 5D Mark II with the 24-105mm f/4L IS lens.

Canon 5D Mark II Firmware Update Version 2.1.2

February 29, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Canon 5D Mark II

Canon has posted a firmware update for the 5D Mark II. The only thing that the new firmware does is to optimize performance with UDMA Mode 7 CF cards that were released in February 2012 or later. You can find the firmware for download at Canon’s website.

Canon C300 Shoots “By the Light of the Moon” . . . Literally Lit by Moonlight

February 27, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Check out the above short from some Canon C300 action at ISO 10,000 and using the moon as the key light.

Yeah, there’s noise, but its not the nasty stuff we get out of the 5D Mark II at higher ISOs.  Now, if I only had $16k for the C300…

‘Act of Valor’ Steps Up the HDSLR Game

February 25, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Act of Valor

I waited patiently for a couple of years or so since I first heard about a Navy Seal movie Shane Hurlbut ASC was shooting on the Canon 5D Mark II.  I’ve read about how Shane lit night scenes with practicals, numerous mentions of his man-cam and helmet cam rigs, and how Zeiss lenses worked in tandem with the 5D Mark II for a big screen blockbuster.

It hit theaters yesterday.  And, I set out last night with a few friends to watch it.  I was not disappointed. [Read more…]

5D Mark II to Remain in Lineup, Completely New Model Instead?

February 6, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Canon Cine DSLR

A tipster recently sent me word that the Canon 5D Mark II would remain in Canon’s lineup in the near future.  However, another new DSLR model would be released soon (instead of a 5D Mark III) and would be a step-up from the 5D Mark II. [Read more…]

The 5D Mark III and Canon’s Response to the Nikon D4

January 21, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Canon's Response

Is history going to repeat itself with the Nikon D4 (see above mock-ad re: Nikon D3)? But this time on the video side of the DSLR market?

Nikon is really happy with its new D4 flagship.  My favorite quote from a Nikon person at CES was “We like to shut people up.”

Boy, did they…

There’s no doubt that the D4 is an amazing camera.  It’s amazing how far they’ve one-upped their own D3s.  I’m really hoping to get the chance to shoot some college basketball with one before the season is over.

For sports shooters, Canon’s 1D X and Nikon’s D4 should be close again.  I think the D3s edged out the 1D Mark IV in AF performance over series of real world tests I conducted in 2010.  However, I think the performance is closer than most forum postings would lead you to believe.

I’m curious to see how well these new cameras stack up against each other on the still image capture side; however, I’m even more interested in how Canon will respond to the Nikon D4’s key video capture features. [Read more…]

How to Lose $2400 in 24 Seconds

December 1, 2011 By Eric Reagan

The above video is just painful.  I felt very bad for the 5D Mark II and its owner.

This video apparently did him some good though.  After racking up over 200K views (and counting) on Vimeo, Kurtis Hough updated in the comment section that B&H has offered to replace the camera for him.

Kudos to B&H.
