Sony’s Worst Kept Secret – The A77

Sony revealed the shell of a prototype camera at CES 2011 back in January so it’s never been a secret that something interesting is on its way.  In recent weeks though we’ve seen a steady leak of information and even pictures of Sony’s next flagship camera and it appears to boast a very interesting selection of features.  The A77 will be announced on August 24th (alongside an A65) and continue to use the pellicle mirror technology that we saw in the A55 and it has a few more tricks up its sleeve. Lets take a look at the major specs:

Canon 8-15 F4 L USM Fisheye Review

The Canon EF 8-15 F4 L fisheye lens is one highly anticipated piece of glass !  First announced back in Autumn 2010 this is not a replacement of any existing lens, but an all new design with unique potential.  Canon originally started with the 15mm f2.8 fisheye which was designed before the digital days.  This lens provided a full 180 degree field of view on a full frame camera but users of 1.6 or 1.3 crop cameras were left with slightly less fishy look to their images.  On the Nikon side of things, Nikkor released a beautiful 10.5mm fisheye for

Think Tank Modular and Skin SALE

I’m not sure I can ever remember Think Tank having a SALE before so this warranted a quick post.  Especially since I’ve just reviewed one of the things they have put on sale.

I just received this press release from Canon and I thought it was pretty interesting.  It seems that we can now add Captain America : The First Avenger, to the list of Hollywood feature films to use the Canon 5dMKII in their production.  The small size of the camera makes it ideal for POV shots and sequences like car chases.  The 5dMKII is a few years old now but it seems that nobody has eclipsed it’s video performance yet.  Full info after the break.
