03Nov Nature Fader-ND Variable Neutral Density Filters
Tweet
Just received the Nature brand Neutral Density filter today. It’s possibly the cheapest Fader ND on the market right now, so I wanted to see what the quality was like. I picked one up to test on the Canon 85mm F/1.2 which requires a 72mm filter. The Canon 85mm F/1.2L is one of Canon’s sharpest [...]

23Oct DIY PVC Shoulder Rig Project Timelapsed
Tweet
John Hwang decided to tackle Hal’s DIY PVC shoulder support and provides a timelapse look into the project. With not too much more than a simple Hacksaw, this project was completed right in the living room floor. There’s a fun test run at the end complete with sound effects. Of course there’s nothing to show [...]

19Oct Canon LP-E6 OEM for Cheap?
Tweet
I’ve confused myself on this one. Almost 2 years ago, I purchased a whole bunch of LP-E6 aftermarket batteries that did not display the battery meter on the cameras. I still use them today, but since I was looking to add more batteries to the collection, I was searching for the newer ones that are [...]

Canon G12 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.8 inch Vari-Angle LCD
Just a few days ago these were only available for pre-order. Looks like Amazon has them in stock and available for Prime shipping. Means it’s actually shipping from an Amazon warehouse, and not from a third party seller. This camera [...]

30Sep LP-E6 Decoded Battery Prices
Tweet
The fact that the Canon 60D uses the same batteries as the 5D Mark II & Canon 7D was both a blessing and a curse. For those who already had these batteries, it’s nice not having a different set of batteries and charger to add to your gear list. A single OEM LP-E6 will run [...]

Tweet
I’m at dinner, so I won’t write much, but caught this cool article about how the Canon 5D Mark II was used in scenes or Iron Man 2. It just came out on DVD so time to hit the kiosk and watch it again!

The new Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 7.1x Wide Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3-Inch LCD is available now, which is going head to head with Canon’s new G12. There’s an article I posted after the announcements here: http://cheesycam.com/canon-g12-vs-nikon-p7000/

27Sep Mail Bag Monday – 32GB SDHC Class 10
Tweet
These came in just a day late. Luckily I had a few SDHC cards in my Canon SX210 IS and Zoom H4n to fall back on. I was hoping these would arrive for the Music video shoot on the Canon 60D’s, but we managed. So I haven’t really tested these out yet, but i’ll be [...]

26Sep Redrock Micro EVF – Electronic View Finder
Tweet
Cinema5D’s got the scoop on a new Redrock Micro ‘Electronic View Finder’ specifically designed for HD Video DSLR’s. We all new this day was coming, but what I totally didn’t expect was the expected price point. Wow, I really hope they can meet those goals, that’s just ridiculous pricing for anything RedRock Micro. It looks [...]

21Sep Nikon D3100 is Out & Not Looking Good
Tweet
The new Nikon D3100 DSLR camera with 1080p is available, but finding one is a bit rare right now. This new DSLR coming in even cheaper than the Canon 550D / T2i has the specs and pricing to steal a bit of market share for new DSLR shooters. From the samples i’m seeing so far [...]

Transcend 32GB Class 10 SDHC Kit – Amazon
I’m in search to fill the card slots in the Canon 60D on order. For those who swear by the affordable Transcend SDHC cards, i’m surprised that SDHC cards have really dropped in price. Considering every new camera announced is practically using this format, and Nikon’s new D7000 [...]

15Sep Canon G12 vs Nikon P7000
Tweet
Here’s another interesting comparison between Nikon’s new rival to Canon’s G series camera. Nikon wasn’t a big player in this sub DSLR space before the recent announcement of the Nikon CoolPix P7000, but check out what they had to bring to the plate against the new Canon G12. Both cameras have DSLR like functionality with [...]
