Just got news that B&H has an additional $100 off the Canon T4i with 18-55mm Lens Kit. The Canon Rebel T4i is the first Rebel to take advantage of Canon's latest Digic processor for lower noise at higher ISO and includes a Vari-angle TouchScreen LCD. You can also set manual audio levels when using external microphones, and there is full time Auto Focus in video mode. You won't see the discount until you've clicked the 'See Item in Car' button. Here's an image of what I see.

Here's a few video clips from the new Panasonic GH3 camera taken while I was hanging out at the San Francisco Academy of Science. Most of the video clips were shot in high ISO due to low lighting, and everything was shot handheld (no tripods allowed in the building). I also took a few still images that I've posted in an earlier article (seen here).

The Image Stabilization on 12-35mm F/2.8 Lens proved to work very well even with some of the close up shots. Unfortunately, this video will not showcase the true abilities of the Panasonic GH3 camera as sharpness is lost when shooting through the thick plexiglass aquariums.

For the video, the only gear that was used is found below.

Here's a list of recently announced Canon Lens discounts on some of the more popular lenses Canon has to offer. I personally have my eye on that 50mm F/1.2L. It's not often you see it down to the new price.

Was $2,299.00, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Zoom Lens now at the special price $2049

FilmCity is now offering a budget composite mostly plastic 15mm DSLR Video rig and YouTube member Nitsan has an early look at what this budget stabilizer offers.

The price of the shoulder rig is inexpensive due to the plastic design and carbon fiber rods (or what looks like carbon fiber). Some packages include aluminum rods instead. The FC-10 can be purchased with or without the rear Counterweight, starts at only $95 dollars via the eBay store (Click Here).

The popular GH2 camera has received a price discount bringing it down to just $499 (until Dec 31st). If you're capable of hacking the camera, you can unlock some amazing video qualities. This is the lowest price i've seen for this camera all year as it is slowly being replaced by the new GH3. Prices are available at both B&H and Amazon.

[Update] Listing Sold Out...

Just hours after posting the Canon 5D Mark III for $2799, another deal shows up bringing the Canon 5D Mark III down to just $2599. This is the lowest price the 5DM3 normally goes when these deals come around. Same seller who offered the deal during Black Friday and another just a few weeks ago. Check it out via eBay (click here)

[Update] There's a better deal that just showed up for only $2599 (here).

The Canon 5D Mark III is currently on special offer promotions from major retailers down to just $2975 (as seen here), so my guess is we might not expect another price drop until after January 5th. This isn't as good as the previous $2599 deal a few weeks ago, but if you're looking for something cheaper sooner than later, there's another deal on the Canon 5D Mark III (Brand New USA Warranty) for $2799 via eBay (Click Here)

Above is one of the most popular BlackMagic Cinema Camera examples from OneRiver Media comparing the BMCC to the popular 5D Mark III. In the last few weeks it appears BlackMagic has ironed out production issues on it's long overdue Cinema Camera and has been shipping out the BMCC. The first Cinema Camera shipping has the Canon EF mount followed up by a Micro Four Thirds mount Cinema Camera to be released a few months after. I'm just curious as to how many people have ordered this camera?

I was hanging out at the San Francisco Academy of Sciences earlier today and was lucky to have the new Panasonic GH3 + 12-35mm F/2.8 with OIS on hand. Here's a few images taken in JPEG, cropped and resized in Lightroom.
