Well well well, what do we have here ? It seems that Canon is testing the new 600mm lens alongside the new 200-400mm lens on safari in Africa. And look at the body in the image below…. It looks to be a combination of a 7D and a 1D X in terms of screen size, button placements and most importantly it doesn’t have a pop up flash which means it’s unlikely to be a 7dMKII. Also looks like a new grip with more controls on it. Via CanonRumors and Aperture Academy.
Rode Microphones has just announced details of two new DSLR friendly microphones. The Stereo Videomic Pro continues their form factor and feature redesign that we saw last year in the Videomic Pro but implements it on the old Stero Videomic. The second microphone is even more interesting though as it is the first microphone in the world to combine a shotgun mic with a built in recorder and basic mixing capabilities as well as audio monitoring. Read on for more details…. Rode Stereo Videomic Pro The bulk old Stereo Videomic is gone and replaced with this MUCH smaller version. Like
I took some time at CES to chat to people about my favorite cameras there. You might find out something you don’t know so take a look below.
As well as Canon’s new EOS C300 camera being made available for order today, B&H also have new Cinema EOS lenses that will be a perfect compliment for this camera. Last week at CES I had some hands on time with the new zooms and they are meticulously constructed, a joy to use.

We thought they might, we hoped they might…… and they did. Canon have just announced that their new flagship digital cinema camera, the EOS C300, will launch at a price of $15,999. This is $4000 less than they originally told people, due largely in part to the backlash of the film making community. Only 18 stores will be stoking the C300 and you can bet that there will be a HUGE rush to get these in the early stages. If your company is considering purchasing one then I would urge you to place a pre-order with B&H Photo HERE. You
Canon surprised many people with the introduction of this camera last week. A large (1.5′) sensor camera with a fixed zoom lens is a unique product in the marketplace and I can see it being a popular solution with their target audience being people who already have a pro DSLR. At CES this week in Las Vegas I was able to get my hands on a G1 X and also to have a quick chat with Canon representative Ben Thomas about the camera. For full press release info and all the official photos head on over here. For my first
At CES this week I was able to catch up with Craig Yanagi, Marketing Manager for JVC’s professional video division and he went through the features of the new 4k GY-HMQ10 camera as well as showing me a prototype version of a previously unseen interchangeable lens, large sensor 4k camera which they are developing. Please head on over to my post on ProPhoto Coalition for the full article.
Adobe has opened up a free public beta for Lightroom 4. Once downloaded, users will be able to use LR4 for free until March 31st. For users of Lightroom 3 it looks to be a fairly gentle upgrade so far, though Adobe have been known to keep back some killer features until launch time. The biggest feature, that I guess we were all expecting, is the ability to make simple adjustments to videos. Exposure, tone, contrast and white balance can all be adjusted and the files can be trimmed. You can download the free beta HERE on the Adobe
We’ve already seen some leaks about this camera but now it’s all out in the open. Fuji, welcome to the interchangeable lens market. With a classic styling, similar to the ever popular X100 this is sure to be an instant hit. A unique 16MP sensor manufactured by Fuji themselves requires no anti-aliasing filter due to it’s possibly revolutionary capturing system. Throw in three super fast prime lenses with an improved hybrid viewfinder and this looks to be the camera that many people have longed for since first seeing the X100. Confirmation that Fuji will be making a Leica M-Mount lens

It’s not out yet but you can already pre-order the new Fuji lenses to go with the upcoming X-Pro 1 camera. Pre-Orders There’s no doubt in my mind that this is going to be THE camera to get for 2012. When the X100 was launched it was in high demand for many months. Hard to get hold of after even six months! There’s a very good chance this camera will go the same way so if you are even considering picking one up then I would urge you to place a pre-order to avoid the wait. Amazon will NOT charge
