Mosaic Engineering VAF-5D2

If you’ve shot any reasonable amount of video with the 5D Mark II, then you have likely encountered aliasing and moiré pattern interference.  Mosaic Engineering has built a filter that fits inside the Canon 5D Mark II and actually fixes these problems.

While there are some other niggling issues created by the use of this filter, it appears that the benefits more than outweigh the problems.  Check out the video below for the full rundown. [Read more…]

Warning: Keep Your DSLR Away from Lasers

July 9, 2011 By Eric Reagan

If you didn’t already know this, let this poor guy’s misfortune serve as a warning.  Never try to capture a laser light show with your Canon 5D Mark II, or any other DSLR for that matter.  A direct hit from a laser will brick your expensive camera by leaving a permanent impression on the sensor.

Have any of you had a personal experience with lasers damaging your camera?

For additional proof, check out the rest of the DSLR-death-by-laser videos below. [Read more…]
